The cryptocurrency community is not amused.
Last night, HBO aired a documentary about Bitcoin that claimed to reveal the identity of the cryptocurrency’s anonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto. In Money Electric, journalist Cullen Hoback chased the identity of the mysterious creator and came to a controversial conclusion. According to Hoback, Satoshi is software developer Peter Todd.
Todd is a bit of a trickster and a troll. Others in the film described him as a “contrarian.” He was in his early 20s when Bitcoin appeared and he did, a forum where Satoshi posted before vanishing from the internet. Todd is a character in Hoback’s documentary, present for large portions of the film as a kind of jester figure. More than once, Todd looks directly at the camera and says “I am Satoshi” with a shit-eating grin on his face.after the documentary aired.
“Someone who had just created an account and had never posted about Bitcoin before, was finishing Satoshi’s sentences?” Hoback says in the documentary. The film truncates the end of Satoshi’s post in the editing, making it appear that Todd’s thoughts flow more freely from Sataoshi’s than they actually do.Hoback also pointed out that Satoshi posted more in the summer, indicating they may be on an academic schedule. Todd was in school at the time.
