New HBO Documentary Claims Bitcoin Creator Satoshi Nakamoto is Len Sassaman - Who is He?
A new HBO documentary titled Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery is set to reveal the real identity of the anonymous creator of Bitcoin. The identity of Satoshi Nakamoto has long been debated within crypto communities.
The upcoming documentary seeks to finally uncover the person behind Satoshi Nakamoto, the presumed pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin. The HBO documentary suggests that Len Sassaman was the founder of Bitcoin, citing his background in cyberpunk culture.
"I think that people are going to debate it regardless of how strong of a case we made, and that’s fine. That’s the nature of this space. We had a lot more evidence than we were able to include in the film." said Cullen Hoback, the film maker in an interview with Fast Company.
Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy Digital, also commented, stating, "If that's who the documentary identifies, it should be neutral to positive for BTCUSD, given that Len passed away in 2011 (RIP)."
hearing that the forthcoming HBO (wed oct 9) documentary identifies len sassaman as satoshi -- there was a good write-up of this theory by @evan_worlds in 2021 if that's who the doc identifies, should be neutral to positive for BTCUSD given that len died in 2013 (RIP)…
