An HBO documentary called "Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery" claimed that Canadian developer Peter Todd is the mysterious figure behind Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto. The claim has been met with widespread criticism from the Bitcoin community, who view the suggestion as reckless and baseless. The director of the documentary, Cullen Hoback, stands by his claim, suggesting that Todd's denial of being Satoshi is part of Nakamoto's effort to protect his anonymity. Todd has denied the allegation and expressed concerns about his safety. The Bitcoin community rejects the claim and argues that anonymity is an integral part of Bitcoin's philosophy. Hoback defends his choice to focus on Satoshi's identity, stating that understanding the founder's intentions is crucial.
