The HBO documentary will reveal that Satoshi Nakamoto is Peter Todd, a well-known blockchain developer and researcher who developed Bitcoin Core.

The excerpt published by the project has already been blocked at the request of the copyright holder (i.e. #HBO). In short, the author of the film talks to Todd, and he mostly laughs off the author's assumptions.

A sudden turn, given expectations. What is surprising is not so much the chosen figure, but the fact that the film can name a living person as Satoshi Nakamoto. If the arguments are taken seriously, this will not be negative for the market. The issue of 1.1 million#BTCin Nakamoto's wallets is relevant.

There are also questions about the historical sequence in this version with Todd. Peter became actively involved in the Bitcoin and blockchain development community around 2012-2013. At that time, he became known for his research into blockchain security and his suggestions for improving Bitcoin Core. Until then, his public activity in the crypto community was not noticeable.

So, when it comes to when Todd became known as a specialist in the blockchain industry, it was already several years after the launch of Bitcoin in 2009. His possible role in the creation of Bitcoin as Satoshi Nakamoto is skeptical. Key developments in Bitcoin (such as the publication of the whitepaper in 2008 and the launch of the first version of the software in 2009) preceded Todd's public activity.

But let's look at HBO's arguments.

On #Polymarket, Todd's name wasn't even on the list of options. But now the "Another person/multiple people" option has increased from 61% to 88%.
