tldr; HBO’s documentary “Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery” suggests Peter Todd, a bitcoin core developer, could be Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin. The filmmaker, Cullen Hoback, presents evidence linking Todd to the pseudonymous figure, including his involvement in Bitcoin’s development and a chat log. Todd denies the claims, calling them “ludicrous.” The documentary has sparked controversy, with critics arguing it lacks substantial evidence. Todd, a prominent figure in the crypto community, has dismissed the allegations as baseless.

“Oh yeah, I’m Satoshi… we’re all Satoshi”
Him in the documentary.
So… nope, he’s not.
LE: *The end after watching through, is really embarrassing and uncomfortable to watch.
The interviewer is confronting Todd upfront and literally “accusing” him of being Satoshi – while Todd is laughing.🤦♂️

The evidence for Peter Todd being Satoshi is absolutely braindead.
Cullen Hoback literally says this is a “super technical” response to Satoshi that shows “deep fucking knowledge of how replace-by-fee works”:
>Of course, to be specific, the inputs and outputs can’t match *exactly* if the second transaction has a transaction fee.
Sure, Satoshi was discussing a transaction with a fee (as opposed to a transaction without a fee) in the context of a future proposal for RBF, but Peter Todd’s response only clarifies a fundamental fact about how all transactions work (inputs = fees + outputs), and it requires no specialized technical knowledge about RBF to know that if fees change then outputs change too. It’s just basic arithmetic.

Okay, here’s a real TLDW and my thoughts:
The show is weak… no real investigation into Satoshi, more of a lightweight history of crypto from bitcoin’s inception through eth and alts, CBDC and … FTX.
Interviewed participants: Adam Back, Peter Todd and Samson Mow, (the maximalists) and Nouriel Roubini.
No Nick Szabo.
No Craig Wright, just a sidenote.
No real insight, just fluff.
Elizabeth Warren and Jamie Damon as sideshows.
The ending is embarrassing with the filmmaker confronting Todd upfront and literally “accusing” him of being Satoshi – while Todd is laughing.🤦♂️
