Since the establishment of the digital currency in 2009 by an unidentified person or people going by the name Satoshi Nakamoto, the question has captured the attention of the internet.

Filmmaker Cullen Hoback confronts Peter Todd in Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery.
Mr. Todd laughs off Mr. Hoback’s question about whether he was responsible for the now trillion-dollar idea after he presents him with his proof.

Renowned Bitcoin pioneer Peter Todd is credited with numerous breakthroughs in the first and biggest cryptocurrency in the world.
