The Bitcoin developer caused the rapid growth of cryptocurrency tokens even after his death
The enigmatic Satoshi Nakamoto is believed to own about 1 million bitcoins, which is worth approximately $ 63 billion at current market prices, making him an object of intrigue for many in the digital asset space and a source of much speculation.
According to Bloomberg, the upcoming HBO movie about Nakamoto has sparked a number of cryptocurrency memes that have no use or meaning, but are somehow connected to the name of Len Sasseman, a cryptographer who died in 2011.
Sasseman is considered one of the main contenders for the role of Satoshi Nakamoto, according to the blockchain betting platform Polymarket, which estimates the probability that he is the inventor (the platform is accepting bets from users ahead of the documentary’s release).
Some traders have even created tokens referencing Sussman’s cat, poking fun at the cryptocurrency community’s speculation.
