Like Satoshi Nakamoto Len Sassaman favors who will come out of Polymarket
Polymarket, a decentralized prediction market platform, currently features American computer scientist Len Sasaman as the infamous “Satoshi Nakamoto” in an HBO documentary on October 8.
The documentary “Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery” is the latest exposure from filmmaker Cullen Hoback. As Cointelegraph recently reported, Hoback and HBO are revealing that the film will finally reveal the true identity of Bitcoin's mysterious creator.

Neither Hoback nor HBO have directly claimed that Money Electric definitely answers the question of who Satoshi Nakamoto is.
That being said, both parties have announced as much through social media posts and the movie's trailer.
Speculation on who will appear in Hoback's film reaches Polymarket: “HBO doc Who will identify as Satoshi?” A business pool is entered to determine whether. The total has reached $389,738 (as of October 4, 11:50 PST) with four days left until the October 8 reveal.

The usual suspects are among the five – Hal Finney, Adam Back, Craig Wright and Nick Szabo – with the leading candidate appearing to be a lesser-known suspect, based on a report on the former Satoshi Nakamoto identity case.

In Polymarket's betting pool, the late American computer scientist Len Sassaman has a strong chance of being cast as the real Satoshi in HBO's upcoming documentary.

In the year It is not known exactly what connection American computer scientist Len Sassaman had with Bitcoin, who died in Belgium in 2011 at the age of 31.
“He was famous for his involvement in the cypherpunk movement,” says a Medium post discussing the theory that Sasaman is Satoshi Nakamoto from 2023.
He added: “His contributions to privacy-enhancing technologies… academic background and advocacy for open source principles are consistent with Bitcoin's ethos.”
Currently, the rules of a certain market dictate that if Sassaman is identified as the mastermind behind the development of Bitcoin in the HBO documentary, the market will respond with a “yes.”
However, if there is another person or group of people responsible, or if Sassman is found to be equally responsible, the market will say “No.”
