Peter Todd, Satoshi?

Shaan Puri recounts a theory from a documentary suggesting Peter Todd might be Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin.

"The documentary goes through and basically under the premise of interviewing all the OG Bitcoiners, the director slips in questions about Satoshi. In the end, he puts it on this guy Peter Todd.

The evidence is basically this: Back when the Wikileaks thing happened and Satoshi disappeared, there was one other post that wasn't about Wikileaks at all. Satoshi posted about how the transaction mechanism works, and then the first reply underneath an hour and a half later is from Peter Todd. But it looks like a continuation of the thought.

Some people would say that's just a snarky internet forum comment. Another lens you can look at that same thing is Satoshi writes this thing, comes back to clarify, forgets to switch back to his alt account, and that post has been left up there for a very long time.

The documentary guy is reading that and he's like, 'Are we dumb? Have we missed this? Doesn't this look like it's a continuation of the thought?' For this guy who claims to have not been interested in Bitcoin until years later and claims to have been busy in school, to come in at 1:30 in the morning and make a super specific clarification as to how the Bitcoin mechanism works doesn't really line up.

When confronted about this in the documentary, Peter Todd gets very nervous, rocking back and forth with his hands in his pockets, giving awkward smiles and vague answers."
