Bitcoin Creator Satoshi Nakamoto Identity Revealed, New Documentary Claims
Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto has been identified in a new HBO documentary set to air next week.
The much-awaited documentary by Cullen Hoback is set to unmask the face behind the popular cryptocurrency Bitcoin.
If the findings are to be believed, this discovery could pose significant implications for global cryptocurrency markets and political narratives.
The documentary that is set to be aired on Tuesday at 9 p.m. EST allegedly has the answers to the question of who is behind the creation of Bitcoin.
Hoback, who once helped to unmask authors of the QAnon movement, has allegedly pointed to the person behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, who has been hiding the identity of the cryptocurrency’s creator since 2009.
According to sources, the documentary is said to contain some new evidence, but there are no details about what has been included.
Bitcoin, which was initiated as a peculiar concept within the realm of cryptography, has turned into a $1 trillion asset class, and its inventor is still unknown.
Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonym used by the person or group that initiated the creation of Bitcoin, has remained one of the most talked about topics as people across the world continue to use BTC both as a form of currency and as an investment.
In the recent past, there has been increased movement in some of the early BTC wallets that had not been active for a while.
As reported, some 250 BTC, approximately $15 million at the current exchange rate, were moved from addresses that had not been used since 2009.
Although there are no direct connections with Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto, the activation of these wallets is interesting particularly in connection with the timing of the release of the documentary.
The BTC creator is estimated to hold 1.1 million Bitcoins, which would make him one of the richest men in the world if he still possesses those coins.
As interest in the documentary increases, financial markets and those interested in Bitcoin are carefully observing any new activity in these initial Bitcoin addresses.
Many efforts have been made in the past to determine who is behind the creation of BTC.
In 2014, Leah McGrath Goodman, a journalist, suggested that Japanese-American Dorian Nakamoto was the creator of the name, but he dismissed the idea.
In 2016, an Australian man named Craig Steven Wright came forward and said that he was Satoshi Nakamoto, but he couldn’t present evidence that would make people believe him.
Earlier this year, a British court ruled that Wright was not Satoshi, effectively closing that chapter of speculation.
Other people have been linked to the Bitcoin creator speculation, such as Hal Finney, one of the first people to receive Bitcoin, and Nick Szabo, a computer scientist in the field of cryptographic currencies.
Nevertheless, none of these people has ever been identified as the actual creator of the Satoshi Nakamoto persona.
