Is Bitcoin Core's Peter Todd Actually Satoshi? HBO's Evidence Has People Talking

Remember when HBO dropped that “Money Electric” doc claiming Bitcoin Core engineer Peter Todd is the elusive Satoshi Nakamoto? Yeah, Peter said no thanks—but crypto Twitter isn’t buying it.

Here’s where it gets spicy: A security researcher (@tier10k) dug into the receipts and found some seriously sus coincidences:

The smoking gun moments:

• In 2010, Todd replied to Satoshi on bitcointalk from a fresh account. Then both accounts mysteriously went silent within days. HBO suggests Todd accidentally posted from his own account mid-conversation 🤔
• Both Todd and Satoshi championed the “Replace by Fee” (RBF) protocol innovation
• Todd promoted RBF under the alias “John Dillon”—same account also used British/Canadian spelling patterns, matching Satoshi’s posts
• Satoshi posted heavily on weekends; Todd’s activity aligns with a student’s schedule
• Todd once mentioned “sacrificing” Bitcoin (destroying Satoshi’s early coins?)

The crypto community’s vibe: Even skeptics admit HBO found something. Whether it’s proof or just an elaborate pattern-match remains the billion-dollar question.

Market snapshot: BTC trading at $62,343.49 (down 0.47% from yesterday’s $64K peak on Oct 7)—investors clearly unfazed by the Satoshi drama.

So… coincidence or case closed? 👀
