The New York Times • • business
Key Points:
- In the fall of 2024, a New York Times tech podcast discussed an HBO documentary claiming to have identified Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, sparking renewed interest in the mystery.
- The documentary, "Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery," pointed to a Canadian software developer as Satoshi based on limited evidence, a conclusion the author found unconvincing.
- A notable moment in the film featured British cryptographer Adam Back, who denied being Satoshi and requested his denial remain off the record.
- The author, who had previously researched Satoshi’s identity extensively, was intrigued but remained skeptical about the documentary’s claims.
