HBO's documentary claims Peter Todd as Satoshi Nakamoto

The crypto news account on X, db, summarized the key points of HBO's documentary “Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery,” which claims that developer Peter Todd may be Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin. In response, Todd has denied these claims. Notable events highlighted by HBO include Todd replying to Satoshi on Bitcoin Talk in 2010 from a new account, suggesting he might have inadvertently completed Satoshi's post with the wrong account, after which both accounts subsequently fell silent. Todd later implemented the "replace-by-fee" concept discussed in the thread. Additionally, both Todd and Satoshi used British/Canadian English spellings, and Satoshi's posting schedule is said to align with a student's timeline, given that Todd was a university student in Bitcoin’s early days. Furthermore, Todd once referred to "sacrificing" Bitcoins, which the documentary interprets as a potential reference to destroying Satoshi's coins.
