Bitcoin core developer Peter Todd has denied claims that he is Satoshi Nakamoto after an <\/span>HBO documentary<\/span><\/a> suggested that he is Bitcoin’s mysterious creator.<\/span><\/p>\n Todd told CoinDesk in an email that filmmaker Cullen Hoback “was grasping for straws” in the documentary, <\/span>“Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery,” which aired last night.<\/span><\/p>\n “Of course, I’m not Satoshi,” he added. “It’s ironic that a director who is also known for a documentary on QAnon has resorted to QAnon style coincidence-based conspiracy thinking here too.”<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the documentary, Hoback confronted Todd and shared his theory on why he believes Todd opted to keep his involvement in Bitcoin’s creation a secret. Todd responded by shaking his head and laughing at Hoback’s assertions.<\/span><\/p>\n I like Peter Todd. I wish he was Satoshi. But this is just sloppy joirnalism. pic.twitter.com\/q2CEuhRLvh<\/a><\/p>\n — Beanie (@beaniemaxi) October 9, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nHoback Confronts Peter Todd With Theories He Is Satoshi Nakamoto<\/span><\/h2>\n
