Betting on Satoshi's Identity?! Here Are the Trends

As per the Polymarket chart on who the HBO doc will identify as Satoshi, at least 10.7% of bettors think that Nick Szabo will be identified as Satoshi by the HBO documentary.

The founder of Bitcoin is still a mystery, but a recent report suggests that this anonymity may soon end.

HBO is set to release a documentary this Wednesday that could reveal the identity of this brilliant mind.

The documentary will follow the journey of a group of journalists who are trying to uncover the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonym used by the creator of Bitcoin.

The journalists will interview a variety of people, including early Bitcoin adopters, cryptographers, and even Szabo himself.

While the documentary is not guaranteed to definitively reveal the identity of Satoshi, it is sure to provide some new insights into this enduring mystery.

To add to the excitement, Polymarket, a decentralized prediction market platform, has launched a prediction session asking: “Who will the HBO doc identify as Satoshi?”

Yesterday, Nick Sazabo and Adam Black started to give a tough competition to Len Sassaman; at one point, it transformed into a tight contest when Nick Sazabo’s 20% gave a tough fight to Nick Sazabo’s 23%.

Not long after that, Nick Sazabo emerged as the dominant name in the betting session.

Who is Nick Sazabo?

What we know about Nick Szabo is limited. According to publicly available information, Szabo is a computer scientist who graduated from the University of Washington.

He is best known for his research on smart contracts and digital currencies.

In the past, Sazabo denied every speculation connecting him to the anonymous name of Satoshi Nakamoto.

With just hours left, the crypto community is buzzing with anticipation. Will it be Szabo, Sassaman, or another contender who is revealed as the true identity behind the Satoshi statue in Budapest?
