Satoshi Nakamoto has been unmasked, HBO notes
In a Thursday post on X, HBO said it will premiere a documentary to reveal the identity of Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto. Based on the trailer, the documentary will feature some influential personalities in the Bitcoin space.
Among them is Adam Back, the inventor of the blockchain hashing algorithm used in some cryptocurrency mining software. Roger Ver, who later migrated to Bitcoin Cash, also appears alongside Samson Mow and Philip KaraÄorÄeviÄ, the self-proclaimed Prince of Serbia and a renowned Bitcoiner.
Satoshi's identity has been a mystery since Bitcoin was created in 2009 as the first truly decentralized cryptocurrency. The disclosure would make public the holder of approximately 1.1 billion BTC, the largest stash of Bitcoin in the world. If Satoshi Nakamoto still holds the cryptographic keys to his Bitcoin fortune, his net worth would be approximately $67.5 billion, based on current prices. Data from BeInCrypto indicates that Bitcoin is trading at $61,353 at the time of writing.
