Len Sassaman, a programmer and cypherpunk, is another candidate. He died in 2011, shortly after Satoshi stopped posting. According to Alex Thorn of Galaxy Digital, if the HBO documentary names Sassaman as Satoshi, it would have a neutral to positive effect on Bitcoin, since Sassaman is no longer alive. The real proof of Satoshi's identity, however, would be moving Satoshi\u2019s bitcoins, something no one has done. If Satoshi is dead or unwilling to step forward, this mystery may never be solved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HBO is releasing a documentary <\/a>called Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery<\/em>, claiming to reveal Bitcoin\u2019s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Directed by Cullen Hoback, the film follows his previous work uncovering QAnon leader Ron Watkins in 2021. If Hoback successfully identifies Satoshi, one of Bitcoin\u2019s oldest mysteries will be ended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
