HBO Bitcoin Documentary Reveals, Todd Named as Satoshi Nakamoto

The documentary aired by American TV company HBO on 10/8 exposed that Peter Todd may be the long-time mysterious Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto. The director of the documentary, Cullen Hoback, previously caused a sensation by revealing the QAnon conspiracy theory, and this time he boldly asserts that Todd is the creator of Bitcoin.

Faced with Hoback's sudden accusation, Todd expressed his strong dissatisfaction, believing it to be nothing but a "farce," and reiterated that he is not Satoshi Nakamoto. Todd believes that Hoback's actions are simply for attention-seeking and sensationalism. Todd also revealed that since the documentary aired, his email inbox has been flooded with harassing emails, with someone even sending him 25 emails in two days asking for help with loan repayments.

Continuous Discussions in the Crypto Community, Todd Decides to Retreat to Avoid Public Attention

Hoback's Bitcoin documentary undoubtedly caught the attention of the cryptocurrency community, with many people engaging in intense discussions about whether Todd is indeed Satoshi Nakamoto. Some Bitcoin supporters believe that whether Satoshi Nakamoto is found or not, it does not have a significant impact on the operation of Bitcoin, as Bitcoin's development is based on decentralized community contributions, not individual control.

However, some still think that the identity of the Bitcoin creator is worth exploring, as he certainly holds a significant amount of Bitcoin that could impact the market. With the strong reactions following the airing of the documentary, Todd has been forced to retreat and temporarily avoid public attention. He stated that the accusation of him being Satoshi Nakamoto is not only meaningless but could also threaten his personal safety.
