Bitcoin core developer Peter Todd has denied being Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious inventor behind Bitcoin, after being named in an HBO documentary.
In the documentary, Todd jokingly claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, but he also mentioned that he was Craig Wright, indicating it was not a serious confession.
The director of the documentary, Cullen Hoback, pointed to a 2010 web forum post by Todd as evidence, suggesting it was mistakenly sent from Todd's account instead of Satoshi's.
Despite the speculation, Todd's denial and previous statements, such as 'I am Satoshi, as is everyone else,' suggest that he is not the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto.
