- HBO’s documentary Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery aims to uncover Satoshi Nakamoto’s identity
- Emmy-nominated director Cullen Hoback leads the investigation into Bitcoin’s creator
- The film could have significant implications for the financial world and U.S. politics
Does the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, get revealed in the new HBO documentary produced about him? The documentary is by Emmy-nominated Cullen Hoback, who, with his series “Q: Into the Storm,” received critical acclaim for revealing the authors of the QAnon conspiracy theory.
Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery – reads the title of the documentary – is out on Tuesday at 9:00 PM EST, or, in Italy, at 2:00 AM on Wednesday, October 9. Here is the trailer:
If the findings are verified to be valid, the news could send shockwaves through global financial markets and even extend into the U.S. presidential elections, given the Rust Belt coalition which the Republican candidate and former president Donald Trump has built with Bitcoin maximalists.
A 15-Year-Long Story
Bitcoin has emerged as the internet-era financial phenomenon.
Since its invention back in 2009, the crypto has turned into a store of value for those who believe traditional currency is being systematically devalued; a vehicle for speculation for those casually excluded from traditional financial markets; and, above all else, a popular method of payment for both legal and illegal goods and services…
It has grown from its beginnings into a multi-trillion-dollar asset, reaching such relevance that even central banks have had to address it as a potential challenger to their systems.
But who is Satoshi Nakamoto?
The true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto is probably one of the greatest enigmas of the last few years. After the publication of the Bitcoin whitepaper on October 31, 2008, under that pseudonym, mainly through forums and emails, it helped the system receive an uprising with the support of a group of eccentric cryptography and programming experts called cypherpunks.
Conclusion
Perhaps, in the end, HBO’s Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery documentary will unmask Satoshi Nakamoto at last; the move has the potential for global consequences regarding both the financial and political worlds.
