Todd’s urgent dismissal of the documentary reads to Hoback like an attempt to throw Satoshi-hunters off the scent. “It doesn’t surprise me at all that Peter would go on the offense. He’s a master of game theory—it’s what he does. He has spent a lot of years now muddying the waters,” says Hoback. “He’s an unbelievable genius.”

I haven’t seen the docu, but I did like his (Hoback’s) docu about Qanon, Q: Into the Storm.

    I mean, I think people like Euler are geniuses. Dude created so many theorems that they had to start naming them after the second person to discover them.

      Maybe, I don’t know enough about him, but I will say this: Nobody fits my definition of “people who work hard” better than Euler.

        You can’t do what Euler did by just working hard. Working hard is a prerequisite but you need to be a genius
