Peter Todd: Sorry but I am not Satoshi Nakamoto

[terrific]

I hope that Peter will sue whoever are behind that documentary. They're putting his life into jeopardy just because of that hype that they're making through his name.

theymos himself thinks there is a possibility that Hal finney was satoshi. He gives a 35% chance out of a hundred and his recent statement says that. He also said that he is moving to this possibility as time goes by.

Theymos was quite late to the party compared to others, he only exchanged a few private messages with Satoshi and all were basic stuff, so he didn't know more than anyone who could read the forum, and even less than the people active in 2009. So I would take his hunches with a grain of salt!

He has no chance of winning a dime, just as Dorian Nakamoto back in the day!

I'm already coming to a point where nobody will stop investing until they find who Satoshi is/are. 

Many pinpointed different people on who Satoshi is and all of them denied it "EXCEPT" for one which is Fake-toshi Craig S. Wright which right now we know that he isn't Satoshi, but he's Faketo-shit. Anyway, this kind of claims from the early adopters of Bitcoin and those expert in cryptography might affect their life because of this kind of things. I mean if you got pinpointed by some random people out there and he claimed that you're Satoshi, they might come to you and ask those Bitcoins.

When they will stop investigating?

So wait a minute here, HBO wasted hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars just to say that some Bitcoiner is Satoshi Nakamoto, who even denies being him? 

You wonder whether streaming companies nowadays have so much money that they can just produce whatever trash they want without affecting their bottom lines, well there's your answer. Lmao.

[ABCbits]

I hope I can see the documentary through some leaks, but I will still stick to Netflix

Do you think Netflix will jump on this and make their documentary? I don't really trust Netflix for high-quality documentaries anymore, I think some Youtubers make better-documented research than them. Granted they probably have to do that since they need to watch out for more stuff because they have investors or sponsors.

Even if they want to make a documentary about satoshi, I'd like to see other questions being explored other than the usual "who is satoshi" where people put rumors and screenshots as proof.

Does Netflix actually make their own shows? I seem to recall they actually give money to the creator in order to get label "Netflix exclusive" or "Netflix original".

I simply agree. I wonder how many people actually pay for HBO subscription to watch their "documentary", when i don't even bother looking for pirated version.

God forbid if his house does get burglarized then he will have an actual claim against HBO for a settlement (but we all know money cannot fix calamities ^{that's right even if you HODLed it since 2014 then you can't get everything you want Certainly not peace of mind, for example}).

Nobody pays for any streaming subscription, at least not the ones who know how to get pirated movies and TV shows.

Exactly what I just said in of the thread of HBO Satoshi documentary. If he doesn't sue them, another company will be around the cornet making claims that another person create Bitcoin and all for what? It's nothing but traffic because since last week they made that announcement, the company premium accounts will have double just to view that videos.

Not only HBO will make money from this, other content creators especially YouTubers that are finding it difficult to make money from bull run will use this to trend, they will even design some thumbnails just to make it look real. It's hight time this Satoshi false news come to an end.

Probably yes. I would agree with you. But I feel like he could know a little more than just an average forum member. If he decides not to reveal anything related to Satoshi, he may know, we cannot do anything, and we don't know if he really knows something or not. I don't remember where I read that, but theymos had IP logs of satoshi's account which he wanted to a decade later. But we haven't heard anything from him lately regarding this matter. We don't know if Satoshi accessed his account with TOR. Probably the IP logs are nothing but just from the Tor browser IP. But, I don't want to deny the fact that he may know something which we don't know. So, when he gives a statement, I guess people care about it.

I think he should; he will likely become a target with 1 million Bitcoin in your wallet You don't want to be Satoshi Nakamoto at this point and since HBO puts him in spotlight,, all eyes are on him now based on the evidence presented by HBO he needs to explain and refute HBO evidence and if he can successfully do that he can ask for possible damages if there is, on the contrary many people want to be called Satoshi Nakamoto who just loss his private keys to his wallet.

Wait, did HBO present such a compelling evidence to be refuted? I thought this is an ordinary clout chasing, if they came up with striking evidences, it's something to be worried about.
How do I get this documentary? Is it available for public consumption? Or is it leaked, I need to read and make informed opinions.

Why would you be worried if there are evidences pointing that it's him?

You'll have to be subscribed to watch the full documentary I guess. If you'll wait for the leaks, it will probably in the dark web or in a private group. I'm sure they will be quick to take down all videos posted on mainstream social media platforms.

And made millions!
They made everyone talk about it, they made every crypto lover at last watch trailers if not the actual movie on subscription, and the talk about the movie was tending everywhere from TikTok conspiracies to Tweets and created 40 million in betting volume on Polymarket!
Do you still think they've 'wasted' money?

[yhiaali3]

In fact, the HBO documentary did not surprise the Bitcoin community, but rather upset and disgusted them, as many tweeted on the X platform. This documentary was below par and was terribly disappointing given the huge media hype it received before its release.

Even Peter Todd, who they claimed to be Satoshi, vehemently denied the accusation and criticized HBO and director Colin Hoback, accusing him of putting his life in danger as a result of this irresponsible film.

It is clear that their goal is fame and to get some money.

Not fully true though. I've some people with capability to pirate digital content, but still decide to subscribe since they feel it's cheap or convenient enough.

HBO actually provided weak proof. But some people will trust it anyway.

AFAIK the only legal option is subscribe to HBO, although i believe you're just wasting your money and privacy that way. But you can easily find it on pirated movie/TV show website.

They (Netflix) have a huge studio near me. A former Army base in Monmouth County NJ.

So if you provide money a studio and cameras. Saying you made it may be partially true but not completely.

As for Peter Todd being satoshi he could be, so he will need to look over his shoulder for the rest of his life. Worse maybe he does not even have a few hundred bitcoins. He will need to fear people and their actions towards him for a long time.
