Polymarket opens betting on Satoshi’s identity in new documentary, Adam Back leads
Polymarket allows betting on Satoshi Nakamoto's identity as revealed in the "Finding Satoshi" documentary, with Adam Back currently favored.Summary
The decentralized prediction market Polymarket has launched a pool for users to bet on the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto as it will be revealed in the upcoming documentary "Finding Satoshi." The film, directed by Matthew Miele and Tucker Tooley, follows a four-year investigation by author William Cohan and private investigator Tyler Maroney into Bitcoin's creator. They interviewed industry figures like Michael Saylor and conducted forensic analysis, examining Bitcoin's origins and impact. Polymarket bettors currently favor Adam Back, a cryptographer identified by New York Times journalist John Carreyrou as a leading candidate based on linguistic analysis, correspondence, and historical archives. Carreyrou's investigation noted similarities between Back's early work and the Bitcoin white paper, as well as behavioral parallels. Back has denied being Satoshi. The documentary "Finding Satoshi" is set to premiere online on April 22. Other potential candidates mentioned in the poll include Len Sassaman and Hal Finney, while a previous HBO documentary suggested Peter Todd, who rejected the claim.
