Did Satoshi Nakamoto's Identity Revealed? Eyes on HBO Documentary - Koin Bulletin

HBO's new documentary aims to uncover the identity of Bitcoin's mysterious creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.

Nakamoto, who is known as the anonymous founder of Bitcoin, disappeared in December 2010. If Nakamoto is still alive, he may be in control of approximately 1.1 million Bitcoins. This amount is worth approximately 67 billion dollars at current prices.

The documentary, titled "Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery," will be released on Wednesday, October 9, and was created by director Cullen Hoback, who also directed the documentary "Q: Into the Storm," which gained attention for uncovering the people behind the QAnon conspiracy theory. The trailer for "Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery" was released on Thursday.

In an interview with Fast Company, Hoback said, "We're making a strong argument in the film, and our process of revealing identity will be quite surprising. I think this will cause some controversy." Hoback acknowledged that identifying the person they address in the documentary would be controversial and stated that it was inherent in this field. Hoback added,"We had much more evidence that we couldn't include in the film."
