It is worth noting that Dogecoin was made as a joke on Bitcoin, using BTC code as a basis. Besides, Markus is known on X as “Shibetoshi Nakamoto” — another joking reference to the Bitcoin creator’s pseudonym.
Therefore, Billy Markus does not seem to expect any true original revelations from the documentary. Its creators interviewed many people, including Adam Back — a prominent cryptographer, who corresponded with Satoshi before the Bitcoin launch.
Billy Markus was also several times asked on X if he is Satoshi and he always responded sarcastically to refute those speculations. Probably in light of all these developments, in a recent tweet, Markus stated: “i can’t wait to be underwhelmed and disappointed by the hbo satoshi documentary.”
Finally, Adam Back emphasized in today’s X post that Satoshi stopped using his pseudonym in 2011. “No one knows anything, so i think we’ll never know who it was. and that’s a good thing,” he summarized.
