đ±đ„Surprising claim for Bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto!
The eagerly awaited #HBO documentary on Satoshi Nakamoto has finally been released.
According to Politico's October 9 report, Cullen Hobak, who is in development for HBO's Electric Money: The Bitcoin Mystery documentary, confronts Todd and Blockstream founder Adam Back with those who came together to reveal that #PeterTodd is Nakamoto. The finale of the documentary ends with Todd harshly saying "Yes, I am Satoshi Nakamoto" under Hoback's direction.
Satoshi Nakamoto equations confused This confession made on behalf of Todd is not concrete evidence that the Canadian developer is actually the inventor of Bitcoin. Todd denied the publicity of Bitcoin's creation before the documentary was released, and after clips released before the documentary were released showed Hoback as Nakamoto, Hoback's existence was questioned.
Todd once again denied being Satoshi on social media after the documentary was released. On October 8, Todd responded to a comment from X asking HBO to deny his claim, saying, âI am not Satoshi.â
Todd has made the joke about Satoshi several times before. In a 2019 episode of the What Bitcoin Did podcast, Todd told host Peter McCormack, âI am Satoshi, just like everyone else.â
No movement in Bitcoin Bitcoin, which was trading at $62,200 at the time of the documentaryâs release, jumped the needle to $61,870 before rising above $62,000 again. Most crypto investors are experiencing volatility in BTC. However, there was no major movement in cryptocurrencies, especially BTC. In addition, the documentary and.

 Peter Todd is going to sue HBO
Former Bitcoin Core developer Peter Todd, who was named BTC creator Satoshi Nakamoto in the film, believes the documentary's authors are "irresponsible". He stated that they were putting his life in danger. Todd denies being Satoshi Nakamoto and plans to sue HBO.
However, the film's director told CNN that he was not surprised by Todd's denial and remains confident that he was right.
The main piece of evidence in the film is that Todd left a comment under Satoshi's post in 2010, concluding the opinion of the mysterious creator of BTC. The authors of the film assume that he forgot to change the account. After that, both accounts stopped being active.
HBO makes case that Peter Todd is Satoshi Nakamoto :
In 2010, Todd, from a new account, replies to Satoshi on the Bitcointalk forum - he accidentally finished Satoshi's post from his account. Both accounts went silent at the same time.
Todd later implemented the replace-by-fee (RBF) concept discussed in the forum thread. Todd used the pseudonym "John Dillon" to promote RBF.
Satoshi posted on a schedule that coincided with the student's schedule, posting more on the weekends. At this time, Todd was a student.
Both used British/Canadian spelling.
Todd once discussed "donating" BTC - presumably referring to the destruction of Satoshi's coins.
Now imagine how much millions dollars people lost on Polymarket with this pool. And how much money Polymarket and HBO made đ #WeAreAllSatoshi $BTC

The new HBO documentary âMoney Electric: The Bitcoin Mysteryâ claims to reveal the identity of $BTC creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, pointing to Peter Todd, a known Bitcoin developer. đœïž
But is the evidence convincing? đ€ The leading argument is that one post that Todd made on a Bitcoin forum in 2010 could have been meant to be written by Nakamoto himself. In our opinion - that's not enough.
Despite Hobackâs confidence, many in the crypto community, including Todd himself, dismiss the claims as speculative and potentially reckless. Todd even warns that such accusations put his safety at risk.

Peter Todd is Satoshi NakaMoto ?
Peter Todd is Satoshi NakaMoto ?
The #HBO documentary "Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery" looks into the idea that Peter Todd, a notable figure in the Bitcoin world, might actually be Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin. Here are some key points based on what we know as of October 9, 2024:
Who Could Satoshi Be? The documentary suggests that Peter Todd could be Satoshi Nakamoto, using various hints and clues. This theory has sparked a lot of discussion and debate among people interested in cryptocurrency and technology.
Clues and Evidence: One interesting piece of evidence is a forum conversation from 2010 where Todd seems to pick up on a thought from Satoshi, which makes it look like he forgot to switch accounts. This, along with similarities in their coding styles and the timing of their messages, supports the theory.
Todd's Response: Peter Todd has publicly denied being Satoshi on social media, saying he wasnât asked to review the documentary before it was released. However, thereâs a moment in the film where he jokingly claims to be Satoshi, which adds to the mystery but isn't a serious admission.
How the Documentary Works: The film takes viewers on a journey to uncover one of the internet's biggest mysteries. It explores technical details, historical background, and even psychological profiles to figure out who might be behind the Satoshi name.
What People Think: Critics and viewers have pointed out that while the documentary is engaging, it doesnât provide solid proof. Many see it as more of a speculation rather than a definitive answer, especially since it relies on circumstantial evidence without any direct proof.
What If We Find Out? If it turns out who Satoshi Nakamoto really is, it would not only solve a huge mystery but could also reveal access to a massive fortune in #Bitcoin, considering its current value.
Community Reactions: Thereâs a mix of skepticism and curiosity in the community. Some social media posts highlight the documentaryâs efforts to build a case but also note the lack of a clear, undeniable proof.
Todd's Contributions: While the documentary focuses on Todd, it also mentions his important contributions to Bitcoin development. However, these contributions came after Bitcoin was created, raising questions about whether he was involved from the start.

đłđłđł Who is #PeterTodd , the man #HBO named as #SatoshiNakamoto
Peter Todd, a key figure in Bitcoin's early development, was recently named as the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, in HBOâs documentary Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery. However, Todd has repeatedly denied these claims, both before and after the documentary aired, stating bluntly on X (formerly Twitter), "Iâm not Satoshi."
Despite his denials, some of the documentaryâs evidence linking him to Nakamoto was based on Todd's direct communication with Nakamoto about #Bitcoinâs code before the creator vanished in 2011. However, research firm BitMEX dismissed the claims, calling some of the documentaryâs evidence "clearly ridiculous" and stating there was "zero reason" to believe Todd is Nakamoto.
Todd, now 39, has contributed to Bitcoinâs development since he was in his early twenties. At 15, he had already begun communicating with early Bitcoin contributors like Hal Finney and Hashcash inventor Adam Back. His work includes roles such as Bitcoin Core Developer at Coinkite (since 2014), and board adviser at Verisart. He has also been a scientist at Mastercoin and Dark Wallet, as well as a participant in the 2016 Zcash trusted setup ceremony, though he later criticized its security model.
In 2019, Todd faced accusations of sexual assault by cryptographer Isis Lovecruft, which he denied, filing a defamation lawsuit that was settled in 2020. The case ended with Lovecruft clarifying that Todd had not assaulted her, with no monetary compensation involved.

SATOSHI NAKAMOTO's TRUE IDENTITY WILL BE REVEALED IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS
HBO is set to reveal the real Satoshi Nakamoto in the next 24 hours.
Everyoneâs focused on his true identity, but thatâs not the real issue.
HBO is owned by the same people who control the price of $BTC.
Hereâs how they plan to manipulate the market today
The elusive Satoshi Nakamoto, the mastermind behind Bitcoin, remains a cipher in the annals of cryptocurrency history.
A highly anticipated HBO documentary, set to premiere on Tuesday, October 8th, aims to shed light on this enigmatic figure, potentially unraveling the mystery that has captivated the crypto community for years.
Many believe that Len Sassaman will be named as the person behind the Satoshi Nakamoto alias, supported by several facts —ïž
âą Len was a developer of remailer technology, a precursor to Bitcoin
âą He collaborated closely with Hal Finney, the first recipient of Bitcoin
âą A memorial for him is encoded in the Bitcoin blockchain
HBO, the studio behind the upcoming Satoshi Nakamoto documentary, is part of Warner Bros. Discovery, a major conglomerate whose stock, $WBD, is traded publicly.
Interestingly, BlackRock, Vanguard, and Fidelity, key players in the Bitcoin ETF market, also hold substantial stakes in Warner Bros. Discovery. This raises questions about potential conflicts of interest and the potential influence of these financial giants on the documentary's content.
Today, the true Satoshi Nakamoto holds ~$60 Billion worth of $BTC.
After the documentary's release, they may try to pump the market by suggesting that Satoshi passed away long ago, implying no one can access his holdings, effectively removing over 5% of the $BTC supply.
perfectly with other key events:
âą U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate cuts
âą The upcoming U.S. election
âą The confirmed $16 billion payout from FTX
âą Possible changes in China's crypto regulations
Unveiling the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto could have far-reaching implications for Bitcoin, extending beyond mere price fluctuations.
I anticipate HBO will adopt one of two bullish strategies:
* A Measured Approach: Presenting multiple potential candidates without naming a definitive individual.
* A Bold Bet: Revealing the exact person behind the alias and announcing their untimely demise.

Satoshiâs Identity Wonât Be Revealed and Thatâs a Good Thing
An upcoming HBO documentary claims it has solved the mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of bitcoin. But does it really matter?
For years, journalists, bloggers, and filmmakers have tried to uncover Satoshi's identity, with the latest attempt coming from HBOâs Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery (scheduled to air 9 p.m. ET October 8). So far, none have succeeded. Yet the adoption of bitcoin around the world has continued unabated. Bitcoin was always meant to be bigger than one person. The fact that its creator had gone to great lengths to hide his or her identity was always meant to reinforce its decentralized ethos.
Bitcoin's enigmatic origin is a fundamental part of its allure and value. The idea that an anonymous developer could create a revolutionary form of money that no one controls is a narrative that resonates deeply for a generation shaped by financial crises, widespread mistrust in governments, and the desire for greater economic autonomy over the last 20 years.
Money is a major factor in the constant speculation around Satoshi Nakamoto's identity. Satoshi is estimated to have as much as 1 million bitcoin, currently valued at about $63 billion. Any sign that those coins are getting cashed out would undoubtedly spook investors, sending bitcoinâs price tumbling.
But Satoshi Nakamoto has purposely remained anonymous since the very beginning. His intent all along was to address the fact that âthe root problem with conventional currency is all the trust thatâs required to make it work,â according to his seminal white paper. By remaining anonymous, Satoshi removed any personal bias or centralized control from the equation, ensuring bitcoin could organically grow as a community. At this point, only cryptographic proof will ever be able to prove Satoshi's identity.
Satoshi shared little about himself, but hereâs what we know. We know he wrote the Bitcoin whitepaper and distributed it to the Cryptography Mailing List on October 31, 2008. We know he uploaded early source code to SourceForge. We know he registered bitcoin.org. We know he mined the first block (âGenesis Blockâ). We know he posted as âsatoshiâ on the BitcoinTalk forum. And we know that in 2011, Satoshi said in his last known communication that he had moved on to other things, handing the future of bitcoin to the world.
Researchers estimate Satoshi owns between 800,000 and 1 million bitcoin, but Satoshiâs desire for anonymity makes it difficult to know for certain. Those coins are spread across thousands of wallets, and there are only a handful of transactions and blocks that weâre certain were sent or mined by Satoshi. Sergio Lernerâs famous Patoshi Pattern is widely seen as the best theory uncovering which coins were mined by Satoshi himself.
To definitively prove his identity, Satoshi needs to sign a message with keys known to be his, or move coins on-chain that are known to belong to him. Anything less will never suffice. That wonât happen Tuesday night. This documentary wonât solve the riddle. And it shouldnât! Satoshiâs anonymity is among the most important features of Bitcoinâs origin and a key differentiator between bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
More importantly, those intent on unmasking Satoshi should consider the destructive consequences of doxing. The lives of those wrongly unveiled have been wrecked â whether it was Dorian Nakamoto, who endured a media storm, or Hal Finneyâs family, who suffered the aftermath of reckless speculation.
If anyone truly respects Satoshiâs legacy, theyâd protect what he valued most: Anonymity.

Who Is Peter Todd, The Man Named By HBO As Bitcoinâs Mystery Creator Satoshi Nakamoto?
Satoshi Nakamotoâthe mysterious, anonymous creator of bitcoinâhas successfully kept their real identity hidden since they published bitcoin's white paper in 2008.
Bitcoin has become a $1.2 trillion asset (though one Wall Street giant has predicted it could be about to go far higher) over the last 15 yearsâmaking the man, woman or group known only as Satoshi Nakamoto worth almost $70 billion if they still control the 1.1 million bitcoins they're believed to hold across a series of wallet addresses.
Now, HBO documentary film maker Cullen Hoback has named Peter Todd, a bitcoin core developer who has been involved with bitcoin since 2010, as who he believes to be the real-world identity of Satoshi Nakamoto.
What if the real reason for using the name Satoshi, for the anonymity, was so that people could take bitcoin seriously, so they could believe it was created by [a famous cryptographer] and not some kid still in school," Hoback said during the Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery documentary on HBO before putting his theory directly to Toddâwho was in his early 20s and finishing a fine arts degree in 2008, the year Satoshi Nakamoto published the bitcoin white paper.

1,000,000 Bitcoin (BTC) at Stake as Crucial Date for Satoshi Nakamoto Mystery Comes
Today is Oct. 8, which means that the long-awaited documentary "Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery" from HBO should soon be hitting viewers' screens. Despite the fact that few people knew anything about this film a week ago, the ambitious statements of the film's creators that the identity of Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto would finally be revealed have greatly fueled expectations.Â
Over the past few days, the attention and mental efforts of most crypto market participants have been focused on determining who will be nominated for the role of Satoshi in the movie, while creating meme coins and betting on the outcome on the Polymarket.Â
card
However, despite all the speculation and discussion, which is largely absurd and frivolous in nature, revealing who created Bitcoin may actually have a greater impact on the market.Â
"Patoshi wallets" are Bitcoin wallets linked to early mining by Satoshi Nakamoto, based on a unique mining pattern. This pattern suggests Satoshi mined around 1 million BTC, none of which have been spent. The distinct pattern points to Satoshiâs use of optimized hardware.LiveâŠ
â Ki Young Ju (@ki_young_ju) October 8, 2024
After all, according to an old story circulating among crypto market participants, Satoshi Nakamoto's wallets may hold more than one million BTC, which is 4.76% of the total possible supply of the main cryptocurrency and is currently valued at more than $62.3 billion.Â
$62 billion burn
If HBO has proven who Satoshi Nakamoto is, and that person is no longer alive, and there are such individuals among the top contenders, it could literally mean burning at least one million BTC on live TV. Those coins simply will not be available to anyone.Â

No doubt this will have a resounding effect on Bitcoin itself and the entire crypto market. In many ways, however, expectations for solving the mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto are now rather low.

đ Is Peter Todd Satoshi Nakamoto? A New HBO Documentary Raises Controversy đ
In a recent HBO documentary, itâs claimed that Peter Todd, a prominent Bitcoin developer, is Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin. The documentary suggests that Todd accidentally revealed his identity by failing to change his account details on the BitcoinTalk forum back in 2010.
However, Peter Todd has firmly denied these allegations, asserting he is not the creator of Bitcoin.
As the debate continues, the crypto community remains divided on the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. What do you think? Could this theory hold water, or is it just another speculation in the ongoing search for Bitcoin's creator?

Former Bitcoin Core Developer Misidentified as Satoshi Nakamoto in HBO Documentary Trailer
Former Bitcoin Core Developer Mistakenly Identified as Satoshi Nakamoto in HBO Documentary Trailer In the lead-up to HBO's highly anticipated documentary, "Money, Explained," which aims to reveal the identity of Bitcoin's enigmatic creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, a recently released trailer has sparked confusion. The trailer seemingly identifies former Bitcoin Core developer Peter Todd as Satoshi Nakamoto. However, Todd has swiftly dismissed these claims as "ridiculous" and "utter nonsense." Despite Todd's denial, media outlets have cautioned that the trailer only showcases a fraction of the documentary and may not accurately reflect its final conclusions. HBO's "Money, Explained" is scheduled to premiere on August 8th at 9 PM ET on HBO. While the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto remains shrouded in mystery, the documentary promises to shed light on the revolutionary impact of Bitcoin and its underlying technology, blockchain.
Su Zhu Comments on HBO's Claims About Satoshi Nakamoto
According to Odaily, Su Zhu recently posted on X, stating, 'If you believe HBO truly has conclusive evidence on who Satoshi Nakamoto is, then you still hold mainstream media and entertainment in too high regard and are thus influenced by them.'
đš HBO Documentary Claims Peter Todd as Satoshi Nakamoto: "No, It's Not Me!" đš
The premiere of HBO's highly anticipated documentary, "Electric Money: The Mystery of Bitcoin," has stirred up controversy by suggesting Canadian developer Peter Todd is Satoshi Nakamoto. However, Todd has vehemently denied these allegations, both in media statements and on X.
Key Claims from the Documentary:
Bitcoin Destruction: The film asserts that Todd, calling himself an expert on âsacrificing Bitcoins,â may have deliberately destroyed access to over 1 million BTC attributed to Satoshi, suggesting he is Satoshi himself. Notably, Satoshi's BTC has remained untouched for years.
Dual Accounts: The documentary claims Todd operated under two accounts on bitcointalkâone as himself and another under the pseudonym John Dillon. It alleges that Todd wrote on behalf of Satoshi, raising questions about the authenticity of the communications.
Linguistic Similarities: Both Todd and Satoshi reportedly used Canadian and British English, paralleling claims made about Adam Back, who also denies being Satoshi.
Todd's Response:
Peter Todd has categorically rejected the notion that he is Satoshi, maintaining his position despite the documentary's assertions.
As the crypto community digests these revelations, the quest to uncover the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto continues. Stay tuned for more updates!

HBO Documentary Suggests Len Sassaman As Bitcoin Creator, Widow Denies Claims
According to PANews, an HBO documentary titled 'The Mystery of Bitcoin' has suggested that the late American cryptographer Len Sassaman might be the creator of Bitcoin, known as Satoshi Nakamoto. However, Sassaman's widow, Meredith L. Patterson, has denied these claims. Patterson stated, 'Len Sassaman is not Satoshi Nakamoto. Len Sassaman passed away in 2011. HBO never contacted me during the making of the documentary, which is the strangest thing for me.'
HBO will reveal the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto in less than 1 hour!
People treat $BTC like #DigitalGold , which is why so many are invested in #Bitcoin .
#Gold is a precious gift from God, and just like gold, #BTC is limited in supply.
Gold was gifted by God, while Bitcoin was a gift to the world by #SatoshiNakamoto .
The Bitcoin network and system are operated by people, allowing anyone to be part of the network and mine Bitcoin.
We have never seen God or Satoshi Nakamoto, and since both are unknown creators, we trust in gold and Bitcoin, believing no one will cheat us.
However, if Satoshi Nakamotoâs real identity is revealed, I believe #Bitcoin wonât hold its current value and could drop significantly.
