  1. tldr; Adam Back, an early Bitcoin developer, refutes claims from HBO’s documentary that Peter Todd is Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Back argues that the true creator is likely unknown and emphasizes the benefits of Bitcoin’s decentralized nature without a central figure. He highlights the importance of knowledgeable individuals participating in documentaries to prevent misinformation. The documentary’s claim is criticized due to timeline inconsistencies, as Todd became involved with Bitcoin years after its creation.

    >Its mission is more about being adopted as a kind of global fabric and electronic money. And with no founder type of figure involved, it helps it feel more like a discovery than a startup or an invention. Right. So, I think that’s good for the concept of Bitcoin *as a commodity*.
