HBO's new documentary, 'Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery,' directed by Cullen Hoback, claims to reveal the true identity of Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. The documentary suggests that Canadian developer Peter Todd, an early Bitcoin developer, is Nakamoto. Leaked clips from the documentary appear to support this claim, but Todd has denied the allegations, stating that the filmmaker is 'grasping at straws.' The documentary, which premiered on October 8 at 9 p.m. ET, has reignited debates within the crypto community about the identity of Bitcoin's elusive creator. It is estimated that Nakamoto owns 1,100,000 Bitcoin, worth $80 billion.
