According to TechFlow, on October 7, CoinDesk reported that HBO's upcoming documentary (Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery) has sparked widespread speculation in the cryptocurrency community about the identity of the founder of Bitcoin. The prediction market Polymarket and the cryptocurrency community generally believe that the documentary may reveal that cryptographer Len Sassaman is the founder of Bitcoin. As the documentary's broadcast date approaches, multiple meme coins featuring Sassaman and his pet cats Sasha and ODIN have emerged on the Solana, Ethereum, and Bitcoin networks.

Over the past week, the market value of LEN tokens issued on Solana and Ethereum reached millions of dollars before falling back; the SASHA token, named after Sassaman’s cat Sasha, had a market value of more than $5 million on both Ethereum and Solana; Sassaman’s wife Meredith L. Patterson responded to inquiries about Meme coins on the social platform and provided a Solana wallet address for receiving token donations.

Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery is scheduled to air on October 8, 2024. As of October 7, the Polymarket forecast market showed that Sassaman had a 35% chance of being identified as Satoshi Nakamoto, ahead of Hal Finney and Adam Back. As the documentary airs soon, discussions in the cryptocurrency community about the identity of the Bitcoin founder may heat up further. Investors should fully assess the risks and maintain rational judgment when participating in related speculative activities.
