He did not share who he believes Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious Bitcoin inventor, to be. However, he wondered if the impact on the BTC price might be drastically negative rather than bullish.
Earlier today, he published a tweet, saying that very soon HBO will release its much-expected documentary, where it claimed to reveal the true identity of Bitcoin inventor Satoshi. Several “candidates” are mentioned in the film, among them cypherpunk and Blockstream CEO Adam Back, who was mentioned in the Bitcoin white paper, Len Sassaman and former Bitcoin developer Peter Todd.
Markus asked his followers: “Who do you think it is?” However, what is more interesting, is that he also wondered if Bitcoin would “instantly crash from the reveal.”
Todd also said that the creators did not approach him before the film was released. Still, the director remains positive about his conclusions: “Peter was there that day (in which he was interviewed for the film). He knows what was discussed. He had every opportunity to explain himself.”
As for the Bitcoin price, in the past 24 hours, no crash can be observed, as BTC has only declined by 1.17%, which can hardly be attributed to the movie release and Peter Todd being proclaimed as Satoshi by its makers.
