HBO caused a stir in the crypto community by claiming that Peter Todd is Satoshi Nakamoto. Todd denied this before and after the film's release. Adam Back, an early Bitcoin developer, believes that the protocol's creator is not featured in the documentary. Back noted that the lack of a central figure is a plus for the decentralized currency. 🎭

Critics argue that Todd's forum posts do not prove his connection to Satoshi, and the timeline of Bitcoin's development does not coincide with Todd's involvement.
