Marc Hochstein is CoinDesk's Deputy Editor-in-Chief for Features, Opinion, Ethics and Standards. He holds BTC above CoinDesk's disclosure threshold of $1K and de minimis amounts of other digital assets (details in bio).

Leaked clips from HBO's soon-to-premiere Satoshi Nakamoto documentary seem to finger former Bitcoin developer Peter Todd as the cryptocurrency's creator – but Todd denies it.

At the time of the Polymarket bet's creation, Todd was not listed as a possibility, so anyone who wanted to bet on him being the film's"reveal" would have to choose"Other/Multiple."To be clear: Only snippets of the film are circulating online and it's possible that in the end Hoback reaches a different conclusion about Satoshi's identity than he does in the scene with Todd.

"This is going to be very funny when you put this into the documentary and a bunch of bitcoiners watch it," Todd said."I suspect a lot of them will be very happy if you go this route because it's yet another example of journalists really missing the point in a way that's very funny.""The point is to make bitcoin the global currency," Todd responds.
