Satoshi is someone who invented bitcoin and owns a pretty big chunk of its world supply. There are many people invested in bitcoin out there who seem to be at peace with Satoshi's anonymity, saying things like "We are all Satoshi" and "No one knows who Satoshi is". These mantras are repeated all over internet and it's pretty impossible to have any kind of constructive debate that doesn't end with either of those phrases.
Clearly, Cullen Hoback and HBO are not the only ones insisting that uncovering Satoshi's identity is a worthwhile thing to do. Many journalists have suggested their theories. And why the hell not?! One individual owns a record amount of one of the world's top assets (because yeah, bitcoin is no longer just monopoly money for nerds, Bill Maher) so we absolutely should care about who this person is. We leave in the world where money is speech, where one rich person can buy a whole social media platform and affect markets, elections, send cars to space etc.
The case proposed in the doc is new and unexpected. Although people have been talking about the possibility of **** being involved. But no one actually spent time and put all the evidence together, until now. Th evidence in the film and the additional facts that keep coming up are convincing. The more people watch the film, the more independent research is done, the more we'll know.
Everyone should make their own conclusions, as long as they are willing to spend 100 min to watch this ground-breaking investigation.
