Todd, who is a vocal backer of Ukraine and Israel on his X feed, is known to invoke the claim \u201cI am Satoshi\u201d as an expression of solidarity with the creator\u2019s bid for privacy. In an email to CoinDesk prior to the documentary&#8217;s release, Todd <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/business\/2024\/10\/08\/former-bitcoin-dev-peter-todd-denies-hes-satoshi-hours-before-hbo-documentary-airs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reportedly denied<\/a> he was the bitcoin creator: &#8220;Of course I&#8217;m not Satoshi,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>If Todd is widely accepted as bitcoin&#8217;s creator, the revelation would end more than a decade of speculation over the identity of a person whose work spawned a global, multibillion-dollar craze for digital currencies: a mania that has pushed back the frontiers of finance but also enabled widespread fraud and other illicit activities.<\/p>\n<p>Todd is not unknown to enthusiasts of the stateless money system. As a longstanding bitcoin core developer known for communicating publicly with \u201cSatoshi\u201d before his disappearance from<strong> <\/strong>crypto forums in 2010, his name has always carried weight in the community. But he was rarely considered a prime suspect.<\/p>\n<p>A 39-year-old graduate of Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto, Todd would have been 23 when the famous bitcoin white paper that first laid out the vision for the decentralized money system was being completed.<\/p>\n<p>Todd previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8yah3N9n84k\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8yah3N9n84k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told a podcast<\/a> he was about 15 years old when he first started communicating with key crypto influencers, known as the cypherpunks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn investigations like these, digital forensics can only take you so far; they\u2019re like a compass,\u201d Hoback told POLITICO before the documentary aired. \u201cReal answers can only be found offline.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTodd\u2019s game theory is next level,\u201d Hoback said. \u201cJust consider, in the run-up to release: he\u2019s in the trailer, there\u2019s a multi-million dollar betting pool, hundreds of thousands of tweets about the film and I didn\u2019t see anyone suggest this possibility. He\u2019s a fucking genius.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The naming of Todd will be a blow to crypto-based prediction markets, which had until Monday identified the late Len Sassaman, an American information privacy advocate, as the favorite.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n\t\tpl_facebook_pixel_args = [];\n\t\tpl_facebook_pixel_args.userAgent = navigator.userAgent;\n\t\tpl_facebook_pixel_args.language = navigator.language;\n\t\tif ( document.referrer.indexOf( document.domain ) < 0 ) {\n\t\t\tpl_facebook_pixel_args.referrer = document.referrer;\n\t\t}\n\n\t\t!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n\t\t{if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n\t\tn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n\t\tif(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n\t\tn.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n\t\tt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n\t\ts.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n\t\t'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n\n\t\tfbq( 'consent', 'revoke' );\n\t\tfbq( 'init', \"394368290733607\" );\n\t\tfbq( 'track', 'PageView', pl_facebook_pixel_args );\n\n\t\tif ( typeof window.__tcfapi !== 'undefined' ) {\n\t\t\twindow.__tcfapi( 'addEventListener', 2, function( tcData, listenerSuccess ) {\n\t\t\t\tif ( listenerSuccess ) {\n\t\t\t\t\tif ( tcData.eventStatus === 'useractioncomplete' || tcData.eventStatus === 'tcloaded' ) {\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t__tcfapi( 'getCustomVendorConsents', 2, function( vendorConsents, success ) {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tif ( ! vendorConsents.hasOwnProperty( 'consentedPurposes' ) ) {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tconst consents = vendorConsents.consentedPurposes.filter(\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tfunction( vendorConsents ) {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn 'Create profiles for personalised advertising' === vendorConsents.name;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t);\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tif ( consents.length === 1 ) {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tfbq( 'consent', 'grant' );\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t\t} );\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t});\n\t\t}\n\t\t<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/peter-todd-bitcoin-creator-cullen-hoback-hbo-cryptocurrency-satoshi-nakamoto\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The admission, however, is not necessarily a smoking gun.
