Electronic currency: the mystery of Bitcoin This wave has attracted a lot of attention!! But no one seems to buy the candidate for Satoshi Nakamoto!!
HBO claims that the real identity of "Satoshi Nakamoto" is former Bitcoin Core developer Peter Todd.
HBO's documentary points out that Peter Todd is Satoshi Nakamoto for several reasons:
In 2010, Peter Todd used a new account to reply to Satoshi Nakamoto's post on the Bitcointalk forum. HBO claims that he mistakenly used his own account to respond to Satoshi Nakamoto's post
Both accounts stopped being active a few days later
Peter Todd later implemented the concept of fee replacement (RBF) discussed in the post
HBO claims that Peter Todd used the pseudonym John Dillon to promote RBF
Both use British/Canadian spellings
In addition, Satoshi Nakamoto's posting schedule coincides with his schedule as a student, with more posts on weekends.
Peter Todd once discussed "sacrificing" Bitcoin, which may refer to destroying Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin.
Peter Todd denied being Satoshi Nakamoto!!! HBO was just trying to gain traffic and attract attention, but it was a complete blunder!!!
