HBO is set to release a documentary on#Bitcoinand says who is #Satoshi #Write2Win
Right now,#Polymarketis leaning towards#HBOnaming Satoshi as Len Sassaman (38.5%), followed by Hal Finney (11.3%). We've talked a lot about Hal Finney, so who is Len Sassaman?
- Len Sassaman has been obsessed with privacy since he was a child, believing that privacy on the internet should be protected.
- While in college, Len worked on Mixmaster, an email anonymizer that hides the identity of the sender.
- Len continues to build security tools and works as a cybersecurity researcher at Katholieke Universität Leuven.
- In 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto released the Bitcoin whitepaper, revolutionizing the field of cryptography and decentralized systems.
- Len Sassaman had the skills needed to understand Bitcoin's cryptographic design and decentralized systems.
- In 2009, Bitcoin was launched, while Satoshi Nakamoto remained anonymous and communicated online with early users.
- Len had a close relationship with Hal Finney. Hal Finney was the recipient of the first Bitcoin transaction from Satoshi and was one of the earliest Bitcoin developers.
- In 2011, Satoshi disappeared with a cryptic message, saying only that he had moved on to a new project. Not long after, Len Sassaman died, reportedly by suicide.
- Some speculated that Len was Satoshi, and that his death may have been a final act to protect Satoshi's identity, but there is no clear evidence.
- Dan Kaminsky and Travis Goodspeed created an engraved tribute to Len on Bitcoin block 138725.
Does it really matter who Satoshi is?
