Nick Szabo will be named as the founder of Bitcoin in an upcoming documentary on HBO. The American computer scientist will play the role of the presumed pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto in the show. Szabo, whose crypto network Bit Gold, failed to launch, has topped the Polymarket by 27.9%.The producer of the <a href="https://cryptotale.org/hbo-documentary-claims-to-reveal-bitcoins-satoshi-nakamoto/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">documentary</a>, Cullen Hoback, stated in an X post that the documentary would land on a single name, implying that Bitcoin was launched by a single person. This update shifted from previous considerations, which included Len Sassaman (14.0%), Adam Back (4.3%), and Hal Finney (2.7%). Reportedly,  Sassaman, a cryptographer, died in 2011. Adam Back, who was referred to in Bitcoin’s whitepaper, and members like Elon Musk and Paul Le Roux are considered to have fewer chances.Szabo has been a major player in the crypto community, especially for his contributions to digital currencies and smart contracts. His brainchild, Bit Gold, introduced many concepts to the market. Some of the ideas include a peer-to-peer network, proof-of-work mining, and crypto concepts that later became crucial for Bitcoin.Related: <a href="https://cryptotale.org/bitcoin-steady-above-63k-as-major-cryptos-and-altcoins-gain/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://cryptotale.org/bitcoin-steady-above-63k-as-major-cryptos-and-altcoins-gain/</a>Szabo has never claimed to be the creator of Bitcoin. However, considering his deep insights into the cryptocurrency market and his blockchain history, he was considered an ideal candidate. The intrigue around his identity is bolstered by the fact that <a href="https://cryptotale.org/vitalik-buterin-sells-big-satoshi-nakamoto-holds-tight-ethereums-3750-standoff/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Satoshi Nakamoto</a>’s true identity has remained elusive for years despite Bitcoin’s enormous impact on global finance.<a href="https://cryptotale.org/nick-szabo-to-be-named-as-btc-founder-for-a-documentary/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Read more on Cryptotale.</a>Visit the links for more information <a href="https://cryptotale.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Website</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/cryptotalemedia" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Twitter </a>| <a href="https://t.me/cryptotale_news" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Telegram </a>| <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cryptotalenews/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Instagram </a>|
