Peter Todd, a former Bitcoin developer, has denied allegations from an HBO documentary that he could be the real Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin. Todd expressed his belief that identifying Satoshi is unnecessary, as Bitcoin has flourished regardless of its founder's identity.
Following the documentary's release, Todd has chosen to go into hiding due to concerns for his safety, fearing potential harassment and seeking peace away from the public eye. He maintains that the claims made in the documentary are baseless.
