Adam Back Dismantles 'Finding Satoshi' Claims on Satoshi Mining and Holdings

Blockstream CEO Adam Back rebuts the 'Finding Satoshi' documentary's key assertion that Satoshi Nakamoto mined 500k-1M BTC via the Patoshi pattern and never sold, citing unreliable attribution, possible later sales, and technical flaws in the Finney-Sassaman theory. The story ignited April 20 with a film tease at BTC $74,619 (Fear & Greed 29), exploded April 22 with the premiere alleging Hal Finney coded Bitcoin and Len Sassaman wrote the whitepaper while controlling 1.1M dormant BTC ($85.5B), and gained buzz via Mark Cuban's praise as BTC hit $77,917 (up 0.53%). Back's escalating critiques on timezones, activities, and holdings fuel speculation but trigger no material price action.
