🚹 Peter Todd is NOT Satoshi Nakamoto - HBO Update

In a dramatic twist, HBO's documentary Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery concluded by identifying Peter Todd, a Bitcoin core developer, as the enigmatic creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto.

The documentary, produced by Cullen Hobak, wrapped up with Todd responding to a direct question about being Nakamoto by saying, "Well yeah, I'm Satoshi Nakamoto." However, this declaration was more tongue-in-cheek than a definitive revelation. Todd has repeatedly denied being Satoshi, both before and after the documentary aired. His social media response to the claims was crystal clear: “I am not Satoshi.”

Hobak built his case around Todd’s past statements and cryptic chat logs, including a comment Todd made about being “the world’s leading expert on how to sacrifice your Bitcoins.” This was interpreted as evidence that Todd had potentially locked away or destroyed the access to 1.1 million BTC—the vast fortune believed to be Nakamoto’s. But those who know Todd see this as yet another instance of his dry humor and commitment to defending Satoshi’s right to privacy.

Why Was Todd Targeted?

Hobak’s reasoning focused on Todd’s deep involvement in Bitcoin’s development and his claim to have been knowledgeable about Bitcoin from its early days. Todd has joked before about the Satoshi identity, famously saying in 2019, "I am Satoshi, as is everyone else." The theory that Bitcoin’s creator could be a young coder who used a pseudonym to be taken more seriously in the cryptography world also aligns with Todd's own narrative of why Satoshi might stay anonymous.

Ultimately, Todd’s response says it all: “I am not Satoshi.”

The mystery continues.
