A Documentary Claimed Canadian Developer Peter Todd Was Satoshi Nakamoto, the Creator of Bitcoin. Now, He’s Gone Missing
- A recent HBO documentary proposed the theory that Peter Todd is Satoshi Nakamoto.
- After receiving numerous emails requesting money, Todd is fearing for his safety.
The true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of bitcoin, has long been shrouded in mystery. A recent HBO documentary titled Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery has gathered various pieces of information and evidence, claiming to have uncovered the solution.
According to the documentary, Nakamoto is actually Peter Todd, a Canadian developer and cryptography expert who has been significantly involved in the cryptocurrency realm since the inception of bitcoin.
When approached for an interview, Todd reportedly had no idea that the documentary aimed to reveal Nakamoto’s true identity. Instead, he says he believed the production was focused on the history of bitcoin.
During the HBO film, Todd humorously said, “I’m Satoshi,” referencing an old meme popular among crypto enthusiasts. However, in a subsequent interview with CoinDesk, he clarified: “Of course I’m not Satoshi.”
