A new HBO documentary titled 'Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery' suggests that Cullen Hoback may have identified the true creator of Bitcoin, known as Satoshi Nakamoto, as Canadian developer Peter Todd. While Hoback provides intriguing coincidences and forum exchanges to support his claim, Todd has denied being Nakamoto and cautioned against seeking the inventor’s identity due to potential dangers related to Nakamoto’s wealth in Bitcoin. If Nakamoto is indeed Todd, he might have access to roughly 1 million Bitcoins, valued at around $65 billion if they still hold these coins.
