Todd’s urgent dismissal of the documentary reads to Hoback like an attempt to throw Satoshi-hunters off the scent. “It doesn’t surprise me at all that Peter would go on the offense. He’s a master of game theory—it’s what he does. He has spent a lot of years now muddying the waters,” says Hoback. “He’s an unbelievable genius.”

I haven’t seen the docu, but I did like his (Hoback’s) docu about Qanon, Q: Into the Storm.

    Lol I think the creator of a concept deserves special treatment in what they created. For example, Darwin’s ideas weren’t about white supremacy, even if social Darwinists used it to justify eugenetics.

      I’m not sure I quite follow the logic there. If I hit you over the head and tell you that it’s actually a prescribed medical procedure, you are still being hit over the head.
