Speculation is running wild as Polymarket, a decentralized prediction market platform, predicts that the upcoming HBO documentary will reveal American computer scientist Len Sassaman as the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto. The documentary, “Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery,” is set to premiere on Oct. 8 and promises to uncover the true identity of Bitcoin’s creator.
Filmmaker Cullen Hoback is behind the expose, and while no direct claims have been made, social media posts and the film’s trailer hint at a major reveal. The trading pool on Polymarket for “Who will HBO doc identify as Satoshi?” has seen a total volume of nearly $400,000, with Len Sassaman emerging as the frontrunner.
Although lesser-known compared to other suspects like Hal Finney and Craig Wright, Sassaman’s background as a computer scientist involved in the Cypherpunk movement aligns well with the ethos of Bitcoin. His contributions to privacy-enhancing technologies have sparked theories linking him to the creation of Bitcoin.
With just days until the big reveal, all eyes are on HBO and Polymarket to see if Len Sassaman will be unveiled as Satoshi Nakamoto. Stay tuned for the groundbreaking documentary on Oct. 8!
