The HBO documentary is set to air soon, and it has generated significant interest in the cryptocurrency community. It aims to clarify the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, a figure shrouded in mystery since the inception of Bitcoin. The speculation surrounding this identity has led to various candidates being discussed, with Szabo and Sassaman being prominent figures in the cypherpunk movement.
As of now, Szabo holds a 27.9% chance of being named Satoshi in the documentary, while Sassaman's odds have declined . This change reflects the active speculation among bettors on Polymarket, particularly as the documentary's release approaches.
