Bitcoin (BTC) News: HBO's Documentary Reveals Alleged Identity of Bitcoin Creator Satoshi Nakamoto
HBO's Major Announcement on Bitcoin Creator
According to the American television network HBO, the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, who created Bitcoin, may not be a mystery for much longer. The alleged discovery could significantly impact Bitcoin (BTC), as anonymity has played a strategic role in maintaining the cryptocurrency's decentralized nature.
Satoshi Nakamoto Unmasked, HBO Says
In a Thursday post on X, HBO said it would premiere a documentary to reveal the identity of the pseudonymous Bitcoin creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Based on the trailer, the documentary will feature some influential personalities in the Bitcoin playing field.
- Adam Back, the inventor of the blockchain hashing algorithm.
- Roger Ver, prominent in Bitcoin Cash.
- Samson Mow and Philip Karađorđević, notable Bitcoin figures.
The identity of Satoshi has puzzled many since Bitcoin emerged in 2009 as the first truly decentralized cryptocurrency. This revelation potentially makes public the controller of about 1.1 million Bitcoin, the largest BTC stash in existence.
Satoshi’s Possible Influence
If Satoshi Nakamoto still holds the cryptographic keys to their Bitcoin fortune, their net worth would be approximately $67.5 billion at current prices.
Recently, several high-value wallets thought to be from the Satoshi era became active for the first time since 2009, sparking curiosity about their ownership.
