Directed by Cullen Hoback, known for exploring complex mysteries
Len Sassaman is the favorite among betting odds for Bitcoin's founder
Skepticism remains regarding definitive proof from the documentary
Recent movements from ancient wallets raise questions about Satoshi's ties
Since Bitcoin’s inception in 2009, the true identity of its founder, Satoshi Nakamoto, has remained a mystery. However, a new HBO documentary, airing in 2024, titled "Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery", claims to have solved this enigma with the help of acclaimed director Cullen Hoback, known for his previous work on the QAnon conspiracy.
Whether this documentary will provide definitive proof where other attempts have failed remains to be seen, but it has the potential to significantly impact Bitcoin’s price.
Interestingly, speculation is rife about who HBO will reveal as Bitcoin’s founder. Betting site Polymarket indicates that Len Sassaman, an early cryptographer, is the favorite with 24% odds. Other notable names in the mix include Hal Finney, Adam Back, and Nick Szabo.
However, many in the crypto community remain skeptical about any new identifying information, especially given that Satoshi's original Bitcoin wallet, containing over 1 million Bitcoin, hasn’t been active for more than a decade.
Adding to the intrigue, recent reports from Arkham Intelligence have indicated movements from ancient Bitcoin wallets, including a wallet that transferred about $5 million in Bitcoin to Kraken, raising questions about potential ties to the upcoming documentary reveal.
HBO's documentary "Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery" premieres Tuesday at 9PM EST.
