The probability that Nick Szabo is Satoshi Nakamoto rose to the first place on Polymarket

On October 8th, according to DL News, trading on the prediction market Polymarket has become extremely active as HBO's documentary that may reveal the identity of the founder of Bitcoin is about to air. At present, Nick Szabo has surpassed Len Sassaman as the favorite to be revealed as Satoshi Nakamoto. On Polymarket, Nick Szabo, a 60-year-old computer scientist and cryptographer, rose to the top of the $15.30 million pool of forecast money, with a provisional 12.7%. Support for Len Sassaman, who had previously led the pack, has fallen to 6.5%, mainly because his widow, Meredith Patterson, told DL News that Sassaman was not Satoshi Nakamoto.
