Claims made by a documentary purporting to reveal the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the founder of Bitcoin (BTC), are losing credibility.

According to U.Today, a cryptocurrency specialized media outlet, on April 24 (local time), Blockstream CEO Adam Back directly refuted the conclusions of a recently aired documentary tracking Satoshi Nakamoto. Back is a key figure who communicated directly with Satoshi during the early days of Bitcoin development.

Back pointed out that the activity times of the individual identified in the documentary do not match Satoshi's actual records. An analysis of the timestamps of emails and forum posts left by Satoshi clearly reveals sleep patterns typical of a specific region. Back emphasized, "Timezone differences are one of the hardest data points to fake."

Back criticized the documentary's evidence as fragmented and its logical leaps as significant. His argument is that one cannot definitively conclude a specific individual is the founder merely based on technical similarities or overlapping early activity. He added that Satoshi was extremely thorough in maintaining security and anonymity.

With this rebuttal, the controversy surrounding the identity of Bitcoin's founder has once again fallen into obscurity. Back himself has been mentioned as a Satoshi candidate in the past but has always denied it. Back argues that the technological value and decentralized spirit of Bitcoin are more important than Satoshi's identity.

The cryptocurrency industry is focusing on the stable operation of the network rather than confirming the founder's identity. Satoshi's identity remains shrouded in mystery, and the movement of approximately 1.1 million BTC believed to be held by him has also not been detected. The founder's anonymity is the final piece that completes Bitcoin's decentralized value.
