📺 Who Will HBO Present as Satoshi Nakamoto?
🎰 Bets are already being placed on Polymarket regarding who will be identified as Satoshi in HBO's upcoming documentary.
Leading the pack is Len Sassaman with 39% of the votes. He tragically took his own life in 2011 after battling depression and is considered a potential Bitcoin creator due to his extensive work in cryptography and commitment to privacy and decentralization principles.
👀 Interestingly, the timing of his death aligns with when Satoshi Nakamoto stopped posting on BTCTalk. In second place is Hal Finney with 18%, known for receiving the first Bitcoin transaction from Satoshi.
Adam Back has 7%, while other candidates garner little interest, and Elon Musk receives less than 1%. 😁
