<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-documentary-s-claims-and-todd-s-reaction">Documentary's Claims and Todd's Reaction</h2>  
<p>The documentary ends with a confrontation between Hoback and Todd. Hoback asks Todd about his knowledge of Bitcoin. Todd responds, “Well yeah, I’m Satoshi Nakamoto.” This response raises questions about its meaning. Todd has often used the phrase “I am Satoshi” to support Nakamoto’s right to privacy. Thus, his response might not prove his identity.</p>  
<p>Additionally, <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/business/2024/10/08/former-bitcoin-dev-peter-todd-denies-hes-satoshi-hours-before-hbo-documentary-airs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Todd reached out to CoinDesk </a>before the documentary's release. He stated, “Of course I'm not Satoshi.” He also called the documentary “irresponsible” because he has safety concerns. He expressed frustration that HBO did not contact him before the film aired. Therefore, Todd believes Hoback exaggerated coincidences to support his argument.</p>

<p>The persona of <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/could-len-sassaman-be-bitcoins-creator-hbo-documentary-set-to-explore-satoshi-mystery/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Satoshi </a>Nakamoto remains a major puzzle in the digital age. Nakamoto created Bitcoin and vanished in 2013. This disappearance coincided with BTC's rapid rise in popularity and value. Speculation around Nakamoto has led to many theories over the years. Various individuals have been suggested as potential candidates for this mysterious role.</p>  
<p>Hoback's documentary aims to solve this mystery. He collected many theories about Nakamoto’s identity over several years. His evidence includes a 2010 <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/coinbase-unlocks-taproot-functionality-for-bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin </a>message board post written by Todd. Hoback interprets this post as suggesting Todd's involvement in Bitcoin's creation. However, Todd’s denial makes this interpretation much more complex.</p>  
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-implications-of-the-documentary">Implications of the Documentary</h2>  
<p>Todd's public denial contrasts with Hoback’s claims in the documentary. The filmmaker supports his findings and believes Todd had chances to clarify his position. The ongoing intrigue around Nakamoto ensures that discussions will continue in academic and cryptocurrency circles.</p>
