HBO’s 2024 documentary, Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery, delves into the mystery of Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, introducing a new suspect—Canadian crypto expert and software developer Peter Todd. Directed by Cullen Hoback, the documentary explores Todd’s early involvement in Bitcoin’s development and his connections with prominent figures like Blockstream CEO Adam Back.

Throughout the documentary, Hoback builds his case using a mix of circumstantial evidence, including a 2010 Bitcoin forum post where Todd seemingly corrected Satoshi. Hoback speculated that Todd accidentally posted from his personal account while clarifying an earlier statement he made as Nakamoto. This interaction raised suspicions, especially since Todd later implemented the technical solution discussed in the thread, known as “replace-by-fee.

Bitcoin's Mysterious Origins & Satoshi Nakamoto Explained On January 3, 2009, in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, Bitcoin’s first block, known as the"genesis block," was mined by Satoshi Nakamoto. This marked the official launch of the blockchain, a decentralized digital ledger.

Bitcoin emerged as a response to the fragility of the global financial system, highlighted by the 2008 crisis. Nakamoto’s vision was decentralizing financial power, allowing everyday people to engage in secure, intermediary-free transactions. Bitcoin’s blockchain system ensures transparency and security by using cryptography to verify transactions, which miners audit to prevent double-spending.
