There has been a lot of buzz in the crypto space over the past few days, which started when a major TV producer, HBO, announced that they are launching a new series called "Money Electric: The Bitcoin Story." It was not the show itself that got people talking, but the claim that Satoshi Nakamoto's real identity would finally be revealed. Nakamoto is the anonymous person who created Bitcoin and wrote its white paper in 2008.

As expected, such a pushy approach to one of the most intriguing and closely followed mysteries in recent history has had its impact on the market with the Oct. 8 release date eagerly anticipated by many.

In the meantime, amid the surrounding anticipation, rumors and speculation regarding the true identity of Satoshi, several long-standing theories have been reintroduced, one of which says that the creator of Bitcoin may be Adam Back, the CEO of Blockstream and one of the few individuals explicitly mentioned in the white paper of the major cryptocurrency.

Back has repeatedly denied any claims that he is Satoshi Nakamoto, with the latest "it's not me" coming in the last 24 hours, when one of the followers revealed a Polymarket bet that Back is Satoshi.

More to the point, Back said that HBO ultimately knew nothing and the documentary will probably be wrong, as no one knows who Satoshi is. However, this caused another wave of speculation because the Blockstream CEO used "is" and not "was," which could indicate that the Bitcoin creator is alive and among us.
