While debates continue in the cryptocurrency world regarding the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, a new claim has emerged.
According to Decrypt, a new documentary claims that Satoshi Nakamoto was actually created by two cryptographers.
A new documentary claims that Bitcoin (BTC) creator Satoshi Nakamoto is not a person, but a pseudonym used jointly by two cryptographers, Hal Finney and Len Sassaman.
According to this documentary, following four years of extensive research, it is argued that Bitcoin was developed not by a single person, but through a partnership between two prominent figures.
The documentary “Finding Satoshi,” released on April 22, claims that Finney wrote the Bitcoin code while Sassaman prepared the documentation, including nine pages of technical documentation.
The documentary is said to be based on a four-year investigation by New York Times writer William D. Cohan and private investigator Tyler Maroney, and the data they gathered during that investigation.
The documentary states that Hal Finney’s technical coding skills combined with Len Sassaman’s academic writing talent led to the creation of Bitcoin. Furthermore, researchers note that Satoshi’s active hours coincided with the American time zone, a data point to both names as Satoshi. Finally, Finney’s close friendship with Sassaman, as the recipient of the first transaction on the Bitcoin network, strengthens this theory.
Len Sassaman died by suicide in 2011, shortly after Satoshi’s last public post, and Finney passed away in 2014 from complications of ALS.
