近日社群盛传下周首映的 HBO 纪录片可能将揭晓比特币创建者中本聪的真实身份。目前 Polymarket 相关预测市场显示，最多人押注 Len Sassaman 是中本聪的有力人选，下文将带你认识 Len Sassaman，以及分析为何他被许多人认为是中本聪本人。
比特币神秘创建者“中本聪”的幕后身份将在下周曝光？周四，知名纪录片制作人 Cullen Hoback 在 X 平台上宣传了他即将在 10 月 8 日于 HBO 和 Max 首映的新作《电子货币：比特币之谜》（Money Electric：The Bitcoin Mystery），并暗示片中可能揭晓「中本聪」究竟是何许人也。
消息一出，热门链上预测平台Polymarket随即出现了相应赌盘，最新数据显示，预测市场中有高达61.5%押注「中本聪」本人是 Len Sassaman，他是谁？为何 Polymarket 最多人预测他是真正的中本聪？以下将为你解析。
已故的美国著名密码学家 Len Sassaman，是最早的密码庞克（Cypherpunks）运动倡导者之一，致力于 PGP （Pretty Good Privacy）加密软件和开源隐私技术的开发，是比利时天主教鲁汶大学电机工程专业的博士生，在数字现金发明者 David Chaum 指导下研究 P2P 网络，也是 Mixmaster 匿名邮件转发器代码的维护者和主要开发者。
根据他作为电脑科学家妻子的说法，他在2011年7月3日自杀身亡，享年31岁。比特币区块138,725包含以ASCII艺术形式致敬Sassaman的交易。
关于猜测 Len Sassaman 就是中本聪的说法，主要由 Evan Leung Hatch 所提出，他在一篇文章中提出一些间接证据来试图证明他的猜测。
1. Sassaman 2021 年 7 月的自杀与中本聪在两个月前发布的最后一条消息有关，当时中本聪写道：「我已经转向其他事情了，将来可能不会再出现了。」
2. Sassaman 很可能是比特币的直接贡献者：
因为比特币是Cypherpunks社群数十年累积的研究和讨论的结晶，Sassaman也是Cypherpunks早期重要贡献者之一，他还曾是Bittorrent、Chia创办人Bram Cohen的室友，中本聪和Cohen都是Cypherpunks知名邮件列表的早期成员。
Sassaman 也被誉为公钥密码学领域的权威，这是比特币技术的基础。他曾与著名开源活动家 Bruce Perens 共同创立了一家加密初创公司。
3. 曾与已故的比特币早期开发者 Hal Finney 一起从事 PGP 开发，PGP 是比特币核心的加密技术。 Sassaman 和 Finney 两人也都是匿名邮件转发器技术的开发者，该技术是也是比特币的前身。
根据他的说法，Finney 是：
除中本聪之外第一个为比特币代码做出贡献并运行比特币节点的人。
比特币的第一个接收者（中本聪本人发送的）。
发明了可重复使用的工作量证明概念，这是比特币挖矿的基础。
在比特币发布之前，中本聪曾与Finney进行了广泛的通讯，中本聪也曾在贴文公开表达了对Finney的尊重。
4.此外，作为美国人的 Sassaman 也使用与与自称为日裔的中本聪相同的英式英语， 由于在比特币发展当时，Sassaman 正在比利时做研究，鉴于许多事实表明中本聪当时位于欧洲，这一点很突出。
究竟下周 HBO 的纪录片是否会揭晓中本聪的真实身份，中本聪本人会不会就是 Len Sassaman，让我们拭目以待！
