The HBO documentary “Money Electric: The Bitcoin History” has named Canadian Bitcoin developer Peter Todd as Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin. The reveal shocked many, with filmmaker Cullen Hoback citing chat logs and a 2010 BitcoinTalk forum post as key evidence.Hoback suggested Todd destroyed his ability to access Nakamoto’s 1.1 million bitcoins and pointed to Todd’s deep involvement in Bitcoin projects like OpenTimestamps. Todd was 23 when Bitcoin's white paper was published.Despite the claims, Todd firmly denied being Satoshi, calling the theory “ludicrous” on X (formerly Twitter) and other outlets, saying he wasn’t involved in Bitcoin's creation. Before the documentary aired, many speculated cryptographer Len Sassaman was Satoshi. Polls on Polymarket initially favored Sassaman, but the odds shifted after a leak suggested Todd might be the answer.#bitcoin☀️#PeterToddHBOSatoshi#SatoshiNakamoto.?#cryptocurrency#HBOdocumentary
