I've written before something to the effect that, given the revolutionary impact of #bitcoin, the Satoshi identity might be the biggest mystery since...well, I'm not really sure since when. But, I feel bitcoin is the most revolutionary idea/invention in economics since Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations in 1776. Maybe it's the most revolutionary one ever because bitcoin is Adams' capitalism automated and auto-running, independent of man's whims and combining so many various intellectual fields (econ, math, comp sci, game theory, human psych, physics, sociology, politics and governance, more).
HBO evidently has a documentary coming out next Weds, Oct. 9 , where they've "identified" Satoshi. We'll see.
I'll make my call right here:
- It'll be one of the usual suspects, my guess is either Nick Szabo or Wei Dai. I'ld guess Szabo.
- They'll offer up as "evidence" a document or email that has previously been unseen, something from early 2008, or even prior, referencing bitgold for Szabo or b-money for Dai.
- And that will be essentially the crux of it. There won't be a transaction signed by Satoshi's keys.
- I'll offer one wildcard prediction because it's fun. They might ID a science fiction author. I don't read sci-fi (maybe I should), but I understand that sci-fi authors almost always pre-write almost every innovation that's ever happened. I could see them referencing a bitcoinesque currency or idea in a sci-fi novel and them naming the author as Satoshi.
Got my popcorn ready! 🍿 (Now, if I only had HBO. 😃)

I go by @crrdlx or "CR" for short. See all my links or contact info at https://linktr.ee/crrdlx.
My suspicion is Adam Back. That's suspicion is based on a lot of shit I've watched and read over the years.
I can't wait to see what they show, but I also suspect their documentary won't be conclusive, it'd most probably be speculation that doesn't identify Satoshi without any reasonable doubt.
I think you hit the nail on the head here.
Adam Back is as good of a pick as any of the usual suspects. The only reason I lean against HBO picking him is because he's evidently interviewed in the show. I really don't think he'd be in it if they were saying he's Satoshi. If he was going to say that, would this be his coming out party? My guess he's just interviewed but they'll name someone else.
Here's the trailer:
We shall see.
Oooh. I didn't watch the trailer or else I would have thought a little less about Adam Back. But let's see how it goes. It would be sad if this turns out to be just another speculative stuff that doesn't prove the identity beyond reasonable doubt.
Whoops wrong date! It's Weds 10/9 (not the 10th which is Thurs).
