Len Sassaman has been chosen by Polymarket bettors as the main figure behind Satoshi Nakamoto in anticipation of HBO Documentary
The betting world is buzzing as bettors place a wager on a notable event that echoes beyond the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Notably, bettors on Polymarket are putting stakes in the identity of the most talked-about figure in the crypto world, Satoshi Nakamoto. The renewed interest has been triggered as HBO appears set to unmask the enigmatic Bitcoin creator.
Why is Len Sassaman a Likely Candidate for Satoshi Nakamoto?
The new HBO documentary, directed by Emmy-nominated Cullen Hoback, will Premiere next week. The announcement of the anticipated premiere has sparked a frenzy among Polymarket bettors. They believe that the documentary will name Len Sassaman as the mysterious Nakamoto.
The speculation that Len Sassaman could be Satoshi Nakamoto emanates from his strong scholarly works on cryptography. Before taking his own life in 2011, Sassaman authored articles that displayed a deep philosophical commitment to privacy and decentralization. Additionally, Sassaman’s suicide occurred shortly after Nakamoto disappeared from the Bitcoin Forum, BTCTalk.
HBO has yet to guarantee that it will name a specific individual in the documentary. However, crypto enthusiasts remain confident that the documentary will unmask someone.
This confidence lies in Hoback, who unveiled the person behind the QAnon Conspiracy Theory. Hoback directed the documentary “Q: Into the Storm” when the issue dominated 4chan during the 2016 election. The bettors believe Hoback can unmask Nakamoto’s identity.
What If Satoshi Nakamoto Is Still Around?
Despite quitting the scene for over 13 years, Satoshi’s identity remains a burning topic. The final communication of Satoshi Nakamoto, “I’ve moved on to other things and probably won’t be around in the future,” has also been subjected to interpretations.
The message hinges on uncertainty regarding his availability in the future. With recent Bitcoin wallets from the Satoshi era surfacing, some speculators believe Satoshi Nakamoto may still be around and about to resurface like a “whale.”
However, if this assumption turns out to be true, it will upturn Polymarket bettors’ bet that Len Sassaman was behind the creation of Bitcoin as Nakamoto. Regardless, crypto enthusiasts are waiting for the HBO documentary’s premiere.
