HBO’s new documentary “Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery” claims to have unearthed<\/a> the identity of the elusive creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto.<\/p>\n

The film suggests that Canadian Bitcoin Core developer Peter Todd is actually Nakamoto, though Todd called the claims “ludicrous.”<\/p>\n

“I am not Satoshi Nakamoto,” he told the BBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Todd argues that the documentary could compromise his safety\u2014Satoshi Nakamoto is potentially the 20th richest global entity, with a Bitcoin wallet worth more than $65 billion.<\/p>\n

Crypto sites are also critical of the news. CoinTelegraph<\/a> said the documentary is flawed with “contradictions and timeline errors,” noting that HBO seems to have taken it too seriously when Todd sarcastically remarks that he is Satoshi in the film.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg reports that<\/a> the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto has been a topic of investigation since at least 2011. A physicist named Dorian Nakamoto denied being Satoshi after Newsweek<\/i> made the claim<\/a> in 2014. The next year, the New York Times<\/i> suggested it could be Nick Szabo, a computer scientist<\/a>.<\/a><\/p>\n

Todd, meanwhile, isn’t the only person (jokingly or not) to say that they were the Bitcoin inventor: In March, a U.K. judge ruled<\/a> that Australian Craig Wright was not Bitcoin’s creator after he proclaimed himself to be Satoshi Nakamoto.<\/p>\n

In Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery<\/a> is available to stream on Max. <\/i><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
