Nakamoto's identity revelation could significantly impact the crypto market.

A leaked video clip shared by Twitter user BlockCitizen from HBO’s highly anticipated documentary ‘Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery’ shows Peter Todd, a prominent Bitcoin Core developer, allegedly claiming to be the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto.

The documentary, directed by Emmy-nominated filmmaker Cullen Hoback, is set to premiere today at 9 pm ET. It promises to delve into the origins of Bitcoin and explore the identity of its enigmatic creator.

Peter Todd, known for his contributions to Bitcoin’s development and as the founder of OpenTimestamps, has long been a respected figure in the crypto space. However, the claim that he could be the elusive Satoshi Nakamoto has been met with skepticism from many industry experts.

If the documentary’s claims are substantiated, it could have far-reaching consequences for the crypto market. Satoshi Nakamoto is believed to control approximately 1.1 million Bitcoin, worth an estimated $66 billion.
