HBO’s new documentary “Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery” claims to have uncovered the identity of Bitcoin’s creator. 📺

American cryptographer Leonard Harris “Len” Sassaman stands out as the most likely candidate. Sassaman committed suicide in July 2011, and a message was encoded in his memory in BTC block 138,725.

Researchers found similarities between Sassaman’s writings and those of Satoshi Nakamoto. 🔍

Sassaman’s widow disagrees. However, the discovery could be positive for the Bitcoin network and its owners.
