The producers of an upcoming HBO documentary have promised a “roller coaster” investigation into the identity of Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto.
On Thursday, Karen Hoback released a teaser for her new BTC documentary, Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery. He also hinted at the possibility that Mr. Nakamoto’s true identity, which has long been shrouded in mystery, may be revealed.
“Some of you may have wondered why I was gone. Well, I was tracking another person who disappeared. Want to know who’s behind Bitcoin?”
The promotion sparked a flurry of headlines in which director Hoback promised to reveal Nakamoto’s identity, but it remains unclear whether the filmmaker’s vague words are an actual promise or a marketing stunt. be.
Hoback, best known for the documentary miniseries Q: Into the Storm, which focused on QAnon, said Craig Wright’s claims for years that he was Satoshi were “a “persuasive…” “It was a gorgeous work of fiction,” he admitted.
Earlier this year, a British judge ruled that there was “overwhelming evidence” that Australian computer scientist Wright, not Nakamoto, did not create Bitcoin.
Blockchain analysts estimate that Nakamoto has mined 1 million BTC, starting with an initial 50 BTC reward for the Genesis block on January 3, 2009. Nakamoto’s public involvement in the Bitcoin project ended in mid-2011.
Satoshi’s last publicly verifiable digital sighting occurred on the online forum BitcoinTalk in December 2010, when the pseudonym’s creator announced a Bitcoin software update designed to prevent denial-of-service attacks. We talked about.
Hoback’s documentary will premiere on Max next Tuesday, October 8th.
