Samson Mow, who is reportedly set to appear in HBO's upcoming documentary Money Electric, has sparked speculation with a tweet suggesting that the identity of Bitcoin's mysterious founder, Satoshi Nakamoto, will be revealed as Adam Back.
The claim was denied a few minutes later by Adam Back, who said Samson Mow was just joking.
Mow’s tweet had a significant impact on prediction market Polymarket, where bets on Adam Back being Satoshi rose to 76%. As of now, that prediction has fallen to 9.8%.
