Key Takeaways:

  • An HBO documentary claims it will reveal the identity of Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, with bettors leaning toward Len Sassaman as the focus.
  • Polymarket bettors back Sassaman, a cryptographer with ties to privacy technology, as Satoshi, citing his death soon after Nakamoto’s disappearance.
  • There’s still skepticism, with markets suggesting a high chance Satoshi’s identity may remain unproven in 2024.

An upcoming HBO documentary, directed by Cullen Hoback, claims to reveal the identity of Bitcoin’s mysterious creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.

Bettors on Polymarket are betting heavily on Len Sassaman, a cryptographer who passed away in 2011, being named as Satoshi in the film.

Sassaman, known for his work in privacy and cryptography, has been speculated as a potential candidate due to his expertise and the timing of his death, which coincided with Satoshi’s last public appearance.

The documentary follows previous attempts to unmask Satoshi, such as Newsweek’s 2014 claim that Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto was the creator, a theory he later denied.

While many predict Sassaman will be named, there is still skepticism.

Some believe the reveal could involve multiple people or someone outside the crypto world.

Moreover, an 89% chance remains that Satoshi’s true identity won’t be definitively proven in 2024, according to another prediction market.
