The documentary on HBO claims that Canadian Bitcoin developer Peter Todd is Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin. Todd denied the claims of being Satoshi in a post on his social media account. Comments were made in the crypto community suggesting that the claims in the eagerly awaited documentary are unfounded. The documentary titled “Money Electric: the Bitcoin Mystery” reportedly did not provide any concrete evidence supporting Todd being Satoshi. Did He Post Instead of Satoshi? The documentary by award-winning filmmaker Cullen Hoback highlighted Todd’s interest in cryptography at a young age. The relationship between Todd and Adam Back, who communicated with Satoshi via email, was also emphasized. Some indirect evidence, like Todd being Canadian and Satoshi using British/Canadian spellings, were pointed out. The documentary stated that Todd responding to one of Satoshi’s posts in a 2010 forum post is the most tangible evidence. It was argued that the said post was a continuation of Satoshi’s post but was mistakenly sent from an account with Todd’s name instead of Satoshi’s. Who is Peter Todd? Todd is among the early developers of Bitcoin. Known to have communicated with Satoshi in crypto forums in 2010, Todd played an active role in the development of Bitcoin. Todd, a graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto, stated that he was about 15 years old when he first started communicating with the influential crypto figures known as cypherpunks.
