“We’re all Satoshi”
One of the central claims of HBO’s documentary is that Todd used the pseudonymous title to give Bitcoin credibility, despite Todd’s personal timeline contradicting this theory.

Bitcoin was launched in 2008 while Todd was studying for a fine arts degree. Although Todd had an interest in cryptography, he has publicly stated that he didn’t begin working on BTC until 2014.

In the documentary, Todd sarcastically remarks that he is Satoshi, a comment that HBO may have taken too seriously or used to further an already overstretched and unwinding theory.
