Satoshi Nakamoto's identity set to be revealed, US government plans to move 69,370 Bitcoin
In its latest documentary, HBO claims to have uncovered one of the biggest mysteries in crypto history: the identity of Bitcoin's founder, Satoshi Nakamoto.
Satoshi Nakamoto is the name chosen by the pseudonymous character or group of persons who developed Bitcoin.
The crypto community has shown high anticipation toward the documentary release at 9 PM ET, with speculations flying about who HBO will identify as Satoshi. These expectations have led to a hike in Polymarket speculations among bettors, with Adam Back leading the odds.
Back became the favorite to be revealed as Satoshi after the deceased Len Sassaman's widow said her late husband wasn't Bitcoin's creator.
However, new speculations point to Peter Todd as the real figure behind Bitcoin in the HBO documentary. The new suggestion follows an alleged leaked video of the documentary, which identifies Todd as Satoshi.
Several crypto community members suggest that uncovering Satoshi Nakamoto's identity will shake the crypto industry and the entire financial markets.
