We all knew that it was just going to be a theory and that they will not have an answer for sure. Notice how it is deliberate they say that it is 'likely' for Satoshi to be Peter Todd. They did not claim that that is 100% true. I have not watched the documentary but I will definitely check it out even if I already know that at the end of it, they just presented us with more questions and less answers.
There was hype because they made it seem like they actually found the real Satoshi. Thankfully they did not create some blatant lie to sell the documentary. It would have affected the market more if they actually had a breakthrough but so far from what I have seen, they do not seem to have presented something no one knows yet.

It is kind of funny that Peter Todd denied immediately the accusations making the documentary almost pointless.

To your topic question
What has been more Hyped than the HBO doc?

That would be the Fiat system.

I'm quite surprised they were individuals that were expecting something of concrete.
I'm a very curious person but the documentary never piqued my interest
Even if they wanted to speculate, I believe they could have done better with their marketing strategy and their reveal.

The meme coins based on Solana that were linked to Todd saw a big pump, but HBO was just a joke, and they made some hype for a few days. Still, I am grateful that Peter Todd is alive to respond to these allegations and deny them. How can the market react to a documentary with stupid conclusions like this, as if they don't know about online forums on the internet? I agree with what Todd said on his official account on X that it was just a marketing ploy by Cullen Hoback to promote his film, so I hope this matter is not given more than it deserves. Satoshi will remain a mystery forever, and we should always know that documentaries and their producers are primarily for profit and controversy, regardless of anything else.

The HBO Satoshi reveal turned out to be a no-event.
As their Pick wrote on X " I AM NOT SATOSHI".
X user had a more convincing candidate.

There was just too much hype about the documentary, and the market didn't react to its release as some gurus anticipated.

Who are these gurus that anticipated that? It would have been sell the news event if anything, and it wasn't anything like everyone thought. Nothing new was revealed. Actually less was revealed that already has been known.

I have only seen people speaking about this because i actively read crypto feeds, and in every single one people have just been repeating the point of view of how ridiculous this hbo "research" would be, and how dumb it ended up to be.

Also no matter how bad this was, focusing on the fact that someone denies being Satoshi shouldn't be news as they have done all they could to hide their identity. Denying of being Satoshi isn't proof of anything either.

It was hyped simply because it's HBO. HBO had the funds to make a very interesting and high-production-value documentary with good marketing. This is to be expected, as with having a lack of research and instead just focused on making the documentary look enticing.

HBO want to make noise, and get good marketing effects from this movie. They knew that Satoshi Nakamoto is not Peter Todd, but it's their bad product because if Peter Todd get dangerous physical attacks, how will HBO pay for this cost?

They can do the movie with misinformation, to get benefit but if includes risk on Peter Todd, I really dislike HBO.
