HBO Documentary Sparks Speculation: Is Peter Todd Satoshi Nakamoto?
The leaked video from HBO’s upcoming documentary ‘Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery’ has sent shockwaves through the crypto community, suggesting that Bitcoin Core developer Peter Todd may be revealed as the elusive Satoshi Nakamoto. While some are intrigued by this possibility, others, like BitMEX Research, remain skeptical, arguing that the documentary lacks compelling evidence.
The leaked video, shared briefly on X by Aggr News, hinted at Todd being named as Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin. Todd, a respected figure in the Bitcoin community, has a strong background in cryptography and has made significant contributions to the development of Bitcoin Core software.

Despite the controversy surrounding the leaked video, the documentary is set to premiere on October 8 at 9 p.m. ET.
As the debate rages on within the crypto community, with some dismissing the possibility of Todd being Satoshi Nakamoto, the documentary is poised to shed new light on the enigmatic figure behind the world’s most popular cryptocurrency. Stay tuned for more updates as the story unfolds.
