HBO reveals the fake Satoshi Nakamoto.

I watched the entire movie, which is full of lies.

They hold over 2 billion dollars in BTC and hide the truth from us… Who is Peter Todd, and who is the puppet master of BTC?

HBO reveals the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto.

His name is Peter Todd - @peterktodd. So, who is he? What is his story? How will this revelation affect BTC?

Peter Todd is a 39-year-old Canadian software developer.

He is known for enhancing the security and privacy of Bitcoin while maintaining its decentralization.

He has also been involved in other blockchain projects related to data and system security.

He says his story with Bitcoin began at the age of 15 when he bought Bitcoin for $0.2.

He claims this was his best financial decision, but also his worst, as he only invested $20.

Today, those Bitcoins are worth over 6 million dollars, equivalent to 300,000 times his initial investment.

Todd's career began in 2008 as an electronic designer at Gedex Inc.

He worked there for 6 years until he joined Coinkite as a core Bitcoin developer in 2014.

He still works at the company and has been an advisor for the digital collectibles platform Verisart since 2015.

Todd is currently the chief scientist of the open-source Bitcoin wallet Dark Wallet and the Mastercoin protocol.

At the end of the documentary, he said, "Well, I am Satoshi Nakamoto."

But on Twitter, he both joked and denied this claim.

So, is he really the creator of Bitcoin?

I don't think he is the creator of Bitcoin.

He joked in 2019, saying "I am Satoshi Nakamoto, just like everyone else."

Moreover, his first Bitcoin transaction was in 2010, two years after the Bitcoin white paper was released.

Combined with his denials on Twitter, this provides the answer.

Let's analyze the potential impact if the creator of Bitcoin really is Peter Todd:

Starting with the positive side:

Now the community knows who the developer is and can communicate with him.

HBO's chief investigator claimed Todd "permanently disabled his access to 1.1 million Bitcoins."

If this is true, more investors may enter the Bitcoin market, as they were previously concerned that an anonymous developer might sell off their holdings.

But on the other hand, if this is not true, he might sell those 1.1 million Bitcoins in the future:

The crypto market could crash, undermining the entire concept and trust in cryptocurrency.

We cannot predict the future, but we hope for the best.

Although we don't know how Bitcoin will develop after the revelation,

you can still invest in the meme theme.

When Todd was referred to as Satoshi Nakamoto, the Token YOURMOM emerged.

It reached a market cap of 7 million dollars just 4 hours after its creation.

Make sure to find these opportunities.
