Peter Todd, a Bitcoin Core developer, has been the subject of speculation following an HBO documentary that suggested he might be Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin's pseudonymous creator. In response to these claims, Todd has publicly denied being in hiding, although he has increased his security measures in light of the attention. He clarified that he is not hiding, having recently attended a Bitcoin conference in Lugano, Switzerland, and plans to speak at multiple events globally. Todd dismissed arguments made in the documentary as 'ludicrous', asserting that he has yet to face any public scrutiny despite his recent notoriety. The documentary's director, Cullen Hoback, pointed to circumstantial evidence to bolster his claims, which Todd rejected outright. Todd noted he has avoided direct media engagements, which likely contributed to his low profile despite the publicity from the documentary.
