Did we finally find out who Satoshi Nakamoto is? This documentary says ...
A new documentary claimed to have finally unravelled the mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto's identity.It wasn’t one, but two cypherpunks that invented Bitcoin, the documentarian alleges.Investigators have grappled with the question for years.Pedro Solimano is DL News’ markets correspondent. All opinions are his own. There’s no shortage of documentaries and articles claiming to have found Bitcoin’s mysterious creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. I finally watched one that’s compelling.“Finding Satoshi,” which aired on Wednesday after more than four years of research and dozens upon dozens of interviews, argued that Bitcoin wasn’t created by one person, but actually two: Hal Finney and Len Sassaman, both now deceased.And after watching it, I’m kind of sold.

She researched when they posted, when they mined, and when they went silent.Notably, only two fit the bill, says the documentary: Finney and Sassaman.It was “inconceivable” that Back, Szabo, or Dai could be Satoshi based on that analysis alone, she said.This is not the first time that Sassaman has been named as the mysterious founder of Bitcoin. Ahead of a 2024 HBO documentary titled “Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery,” punters on Polymarket were pouring money into bets that he was the person the film would identify as Satoshi.Meredith Patterson, Sassaman’s widow, rejected those claims, telling DL News that her late husband wasn’t the founder of ...
