HBO has revealed the fake Satoshi Nakamoto.
I watched the entire film—it's full of lies.
They're holding over $2 billion in BTC and hiding the truth from us... Who is Peter Todd? Who’s really behind BTC?
HBO just revealed Satoshi Nakamoto’s true identity eight hours ago.
His name is Peter Todd—@peterktodd. So, who is he? What’s his story? And how will this revelation impact BTC?
Peter Todd is a 39-year-old Canadian software developer.
He’s known for enhancing Bitcoin’s security and privacy while preserving its decentralization.
He has also contributed to other blockchain projects related to data and system security.
He said his journey with Bitcoin began at age 15 when he bought Bitcoin at $0.20 per coin.
He called it both the best and worst financial decision—he only invested $20.
Today, that amount would be worth over $6 million—an increase of 300,000 times the original investment.
Todd started his career in 2008 as an electronics designer at Gedex Inc.
He worked there for six years before joining Coinkite in 2014 as a Bitcoin Core developer.
He still works at the company today and has served as an advisor to digital collectibles platform Verisart since 2015.
Todd is currently the chief scientist for the open-source Bitcoin wallet Dark Wallet and the Mastercoin protocol.
At the end of the documentary, he says: "Alright, I'm Satoshi."
Yet on Twitter, he both joked about and denied the claim.
So, is he really the creator of Bitcoin?
I don't believe he's the creator of Bitcoin.
In 2019, he joked, "I'm Satoshi, just like everyone else."
Besides, his first Bitcoin transaction was in 2010—two years after the Bitcoin whitepaper was published.
Combined with his denial on Twitter, that gives us the answer.
Let’s analyze what the implications would be if Peter Todd were truly Bitcoin’s creator:
On the positive side:
The community would finally know who the developer is and could communicate directly.
HBO’s lead investigator claimed Todd “permanently disabled access to his 1.1 million Bitcoins.”
If true, more investors might enter the Bitcoin market, having previously feared that an anonymous creator could dump their holdings.
But on the flip side, if it’s not true and he ever decides to sell those 1.1 million BTC:
The crypto market could collapse, undermining the entire philosophy and trust behind cryptocurrencies.
We can’t predict the future, but we can hope for the best.
While we don’t know how Bitcoin will evolve after this revelation,
You can still invest in thematic meme coins.
When Todd was named Satoshi, the token YOURMOM emerged.
It reached a $7 million market cap just four hours after launch.
Make sure to spot these opportunities.
