HBO’s latest documentary, “Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery”, has sparked heated discussions in the crypto world by claiming to reveal the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin. The documentary points to Canadian programmer Peter Todd as Nakamoto, citing forum interactions, coding style, and the timing of Todd’s and Nakamoto’s online activity as evidence. However, Todd has publicly denied the claim, humorously refuting the accusation in interviews and social media posts.

The documentary attempts to build a case around circumstantial evidence, including linguistic analysis and Todd’s involvement in early Bitcoin discussions. One key moment highlighted in the film is Todd’s supposed mistaken response to a Nakamoto post on a Bitcoin forum, which some believe hints at him accidentally using the wrong account. Despite these arguments, Todd himself dismisses the claims, warning that trying to unmask Nakamoto could be dangerous, given Nakamoto’s potential control over billions in Bitcoin.

The crypto community remains skeptical, with many doubting the documentary’s conclusions, as past attempts to unmask Satoshi have often fallen flat. Figures like Nick Szabo and Len Sassaman were also speculated upon but were not named in this latest investigation.
