This reminded me of The Jinx. Peter Todd is pretty clearly Satoshi to me. Seeing so many Bitcoiners brush it off is a bit concerning. Are we so insecure that we can’t face the possibility that this is true?
Peter is the same as every Satoshi candidate. There’s enough there to implicate him and enough discrepancies to sow doubt. In this particular case the filmmakers did a bad job with their theory. Don’t be dazzled by something just because someone put music to it.
It wasn’t so much the dazzling presentation, he just seemed like a nervous wreck while he was being accused. I’m all for being skeptical, but the instant rejection of the possibility is a bit of a red flag.
The whole theory as presented in the documentary is flat out wrong. https://x.com/peterktodd/status/1843962404792652000?s=46
So you wouldn't be nervous being filmed by a HBO crew while being framed as the person who owns over a million bitcoin? Can you imagine what a target that would make you. It's a lot harder for Peter to prove he isn't Satoshi that it is for some hack film maker to say he is Satoshi.
