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.

    Any serious investor would be estimating how many other people are not serious investors, and understand that those unserious people would swing the price.

    There’s no value to bitcoin except people’s expectations.

      You’re not wrong but in general prices are moved by market makers who are trading large quantities. I can imagine assuming that the guy who invented bitcoin and went to such lengths to conceal his identity would not have access to his coins.
