Polymarket bettors predict Len Sassaman as Bitcoin creator in upcoming HBO documentary

As HBO prepares to potentially unveil the identity of Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, in its upcoming documentary "Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery," speculation is mounting on Polymarket, according to CryptoSlate. Bettors on this decentralized prediction platform are favoring the late Len Sassaman as the likely candidate, with the betting pool reaching over $660,000 and a 56% probability assigned to this outcome. Sassaman, known for his work on PGP encryption and remailer technology, worked with key developers like David Chaum and Hal Finney. It is also noteworthy that a tribute to Sassaman is embedded within the Bitcoin blockchain, further linking him to Bitcoin’s inception. He tragically passed away in 2011, coinciding with Satoshi's disappearance. Other figures considered in the betting include Hal Finney, Adam Beck, Nick Szabo, Paul Le Roux and Craig Wright.
