The documentary, directed by Emmy-nominated filmmaker Cullen Hoback, premieres today at 9:00 PM ET. It promises to delve into the origins of Bitcoin and explore the identity of its enigmatic creator.

Peter Todd, known for his contributions to the development of Bitcoin and as the founder of OpenTimestamps, has long been a respected figure in the crypto space. However, the claim that he could be the elusive Satoshi Nakamoto has been met with skepticism by many industry experts.

If the documentary’s claims are substantiated, it could have far-reaching consequences for the crypto market. Satoshi Nakamoto is believed to control approximately 1.1 million Bitcoins, worth an estimated $66 billion.
