Unmasking Satoshi Is Bad for Bitcoin | Bitcoin Policy Hour Episode 34
The New York Times just published a major investigation claiming Adam Back is Satoshi Nakamoto and the hosts of Bitcoin Policy Hour think that's a problem. Ken Egan, Zack Shapiro, and Zack Cohen explain why Bitcoin was specifically designed so the founder's identity doesn't matter, and why unmasking Satoshi could do more harm than good. The conversation also covers the Iran conflict and the creative U.S. reverse blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the truth behind viral claims about crypto being used for toll payments, BPI's new stablecoin policy paper on dollarization, and Anthropic's Mythos model, an AI so powerful they refuse to release it to the public.Click here to get 10% off bitcoin 2026 Conference in Las Vegas: https://tickets.b.tc/event/bitcoin-2026?promoCodeTask=apply&promoCodeInput=YT10
