tldr; Speculation arose after Samson Mow hinted on social media that Adam Back might be revealed as Satoshi Nakamoto in an HBO documentary. This led to a surge in bets on Polymarket, but Adam Back denied the claim, stating Mow was joking. Despite Back’s denial, his early involvement in Bitcoin and creation of Hashcash, a key component in Bitcoin’s design, have fueled ongoing speculation about his connection to Nakamoto.

Current chances according to Polymarket:
**Who will HBO doc identify as Satoshi?**
* Len Sassaman: 14.5%
* Nick Szabo: 24.6%
* Adam Back: 9.7%
* Hal Finney: 5.2%

I was under the assumption everyone is thinking Satoshi was British? So many of his original emails and forum posts all used British English. As far as I know only Adam is British.
We will never know. Even if he / they is/ are alive , Satoshi would never admit that he is Satoshi. He would have already done that.

I’ve always thought he was the most likely.

I’m always surprised when people say they still don’t know who Satoshi is. There is tons of evidence, as other people have already mentioned in the comments, proving that Adam created Bitcoin.
