Billy Markus, known as Shibetoshi Nakamoto on social media, co-created Dogecoin in 2013 with Jackson Palmer. He has identified the individual he believes to be the most likely candidate for Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin.

比利·馬庫斯 (Billy Markus)，在社交媒體上被稱為 Shibetoshi Nakamoto，於 2013 年與傑克遜·帕爾默 (Jackson Palmer) 共同創建了狗狗幣。他已經確定了他認為最有可能成為比特幣創造者中本聰候選人的人。

Markus revealed his thoughts in a comment on his own tweet, stating that Peter Todd, featured in the HBO documentary "Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery," is not the creator of Bitcoin. Markus clarified that, to his knowledge, Todd did not author the BTC white paper.

馬庫斯在自己的推文評論中透露了他的想法，他表示 HBO 紀錄片《金錢電子：比特幣之謎》中的彼得·托德並不是比特幣的創造者。馬庫斯澄清說，據他所知，托德並不是 BTC 白皮書的作者。

Markus Names "Satoshi" as Hal Finney

馬庫斯將「中本聰」命名為哈爾·芬尼

Shibetoshi Nakamoto tweeted: "It's not Peter Todd bro," accompanied by a facepalming emoji.

中本聰在推特上寫道：「這不是彼得·托德兄弟，」並附上了摀臉表情符號。

Responding to a comment from a DOGE fan, Markus named Hal Finney and associates as his educated guess for Satoshi Nakamoto. Finney, a prominent software engineer, received the first-ever Bitcoin transaction from Satoshi's wallet. Tragically, Finney passed away in 2014 from complications of ALS.

在回應一位 DOGE 粉絲的評論時，馬庫斯將哈爾·芬尼 (Hal Finney) 及其同事命名為他對中本聰 (Satoshi Nakamoto) 的有根據的猜測。芬尼是一位著名的軟體工程師，他從中本聰的錢包中收到了第一筆比特幣交易。不幸的是，芬尼於 2014 年因 ALS 併發症去世。

Peter Todd's Role and Criticism

彼得·托德的角色與批評

Regarding Peter Todd, who was interviewed for the documentary and considered a likely candidate, Markus stated: "He's one of the more OG core devs but not the creator."

關於彼得·托德（Peter Todd）接受了紀錄片的採訪並被認為是可能的候選人，馬庫斯說：“他是 OG 核心開發者之一，但不是創作者。”

Markus had previously expressed concerns on Twitter about the potential impact on Bitcoin's price if the Satoshi reveal in the documentary proved true.

馬庫斯先前曾在推特上表達擔憂，如果中本聰在紀錄片中透露的內容被證明屬實，比特幣價格可能會受到影響。

Peter Todd Rejects Documentary Claims

彼得·托德拒絕跟單索賠

Peter Todd has consistently denied being Satoshi, both before and after the HBO documentary's release. He criticized the film's director, Cullen Hobac, accusing him of endangering Todd's life.

在 HBO 紀錄片發行之前和之後，彼得·托德一直否認自己是中本聰。他批評了電影導演卡倫霍巴克，指責他危及陶德的生命。

The Bitcoin community has criticized the documentary and its creators for providing insufficient evidence to support the claim that Todd is Satoshi Nakamoto.

比特幣社群批評這部紀錄片及其創作者提供的證據不足，無法支持托德就是中本聰的說法。

Prior to the film's release, Polymarket users heavily favored Len Sassaman, a cryptographer who died by suicide in 2011, as the top candidate.

在電影上映之前，Polymarket 用戶大力支持 Len Sassaman（2011 年自殺身亡的密碼學家）作為首選候選人。
