In this lively episode of Mid Mic Crisis, hosts Bunchu and Chamber revisit one of the crypto world's greatest mysteries: the true identity of Bitcoin's elusive creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. The duo begins by reflecting on their AI-heavy previous episode, but quickly pivot to this week's main topic, spurred by the recent release of the HBO documentary *Money Electric*. They review the top candidates for Nakamoto—Hal Finney, Len Sassaman, Craig Wright, Nick Szabo, and the newly introduced contender, Peter Todd—discussing the evidence and theories surrounding each.The conversation takes a humorous turn as Chamber wrestles with "normies" struggling to understand advanced tech like AI and crypto, before diving deep into the betting markets predicting Satoshi's identity. The hosts highlight how Peter Todd has become a focal point of speculation, though they remain skeptical, rating him a 6 out of 10 likelihood. They close out the show with some fresh insights into Hal Finney and his fascinating connection to the Bitcoin origin story, leaving the mystery of Satoshi's identity open-ended, while continuing the long-running debate.Tune in for witty banter, conspiracy talk, and the ongoing question that continues to baffle the world: who really is Satoshi Nakamoto?Follow Us:Website: https://midmiccrisis.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@midmiccrisisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/midmiccrisis/?hl=enTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mid.mic.crisis?lang=enTwitter: https://twitter.com/MidMicCrisisNewsletter: https://mid-mic-crisis-newsletter.beehiiv.com/subscribeMMC Push Pass: https://ks-pages-119byl.web.app/pass/66db3c111db9a79db7fdaafeFireBrain AI: https://www.skool.com/firebrainPowered by @dGenNetworkWebsite: https://dgen.network/Bad Dadvice PodcastNew Dads giving hilariously bad advice about fatherhood, life and current events.Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show
