Even the co-founder of Dogecoin, Billy Marcus, shared his thoughts on the identity of the real Satoshi Nakamoto, creator of Bitcoin. Like many others, Markus reiterates that it is not Peter Todd, as the HBO documentary claims.
Dogecoin: Billy Marckus denies the identity of the creator of Bitcoin revealed by HBO
Billy Markus, the co-founder of Dogecoin, denies what was revealed by the HBO documentary about the true identity of the creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto.
“It is not Peter Todd, brother.”
In fact, this week, all eyes have been on Cullen Hoback’s documentary, which revealed that Satoshi Nakamoto is Peter Todd. For many, like Markus, this revelation was a real disappointment.
On this subject, Markus then added:
“[Todd] is one of the most OG developers, but not the creator.”
In practice, it really seems that the crypto community is almost completely ignoring the hypothesis of the HBO documentary, as it seems to be full of holes.
For many, the evidence reported, rather than supporting the theory that Peter Todd is the real Satoshi Nakamoto, only offers clues and assumptions.
Thus, even the co-founder of Dogecoin has sided with the disappointed.
Dogecoin: Billy Markus reveals the true identity of Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto
In the roundup of tweets talking about Satoshi Nakamoto, when asked about what the true identity was according to Markus, the co-founder of Dogecoin did not hesitate to give his opinion.
“If you had to make a guess, who would it be? .
Hal Finney and friends
According to Markus of Dogecoin, therefore, the true creator of Bitcoin is a group of people: Hal Finney and friends.
In reality, it is not the first time that one hears associate Satoshi Nakamoto with Hal Finney, unfortunately, however, this theory cannot be confirmed, given that the software developer is no longer with us.
In fact, just this past August, it has been exactly ten years since the death of Hal Finney, remembered in the crypto community as the man behind the first P2P transaction ever made on the Bitcoin Blockchain.
Specifically, from Satoshi Nakamoto’s address, a total of 10 BTC had been sent to Finney’s address, probably as a test.
A small dump of the BTC price
While the comments on the HBO documentary turn out to be all negative, in the last 24 hours the price of BTC has been as well.
In fact, at the time of writing, BTC is worth $60,945, in a dump of -2.45% in the last 24 hours.
Who knows if this price decrease could reflect a reaction of disappointment from crypto investors regarding the identity of Satoshi NaKamoto.
On the contrary, however, at the beginning of this week, BTC was above $64,000. Behind this price rise last weekend, it has been hypothesized that the Asian markets are pushing BTC up.
