Money Electric Promises to Dox the Secret Identity of Bitcoin's Creator Satoshi Nakamoto

The world has long wondered who created Bitcoin. Ever since a white paper bearing his name was published on the web in 2008, the digital asset's conception has widely been attributed to a pseudonymous figure known as “Satoshi Nakamoto.”

HBO is set to unveil the true identity of Bitcoin's enigmatic creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, in an upcoming documentary titled Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery.

The documentary, directed by Cullen Hoback, will delve into the decades-long mystery surrounding the pseudonym that birthed the world's most valuable cryptocurrency.

While many theories have emerged over the years, attempting to pinpoint the individual or collective behind the Satoshi Nakamoto moniker, the true identity of the crypto mastermind has remained shrouded in secrecy.

Now, Hoback, known for his previous HBO documentary Q: Enter the Storm, which explored the identity of the anonymous figure behind the QAnon conspiracy theory, is set to tackle another cryptic persona with Money Electric.

A newly released trailer for the film offers a glimpse into Hoback's investigation, teasing viewers with the promise of an enthralling journey.

In his previous documentary, Hoback presented a compelling thesis regarding Q's identity, ultimately narrowing down the suspects to a handful of candidates.

However, despite the compelling narrative, the filmmaker never managed to definitively identify Q with irrefutable evidence.

Theories ranged from Ron Watkins, a peculiar systems administrator for 8kun (the successor site to 4chan, where Q initially began his posting career), to a group of Trump administration officials operating under the direct supervision of the then-president himself.

Following the release of Hoback's documentary, Q's activity on 8kun gradually subsided, with minimal new posts emerging from the cryptic persona.

It will be intriguing to witness whether Hoback's latest endeavor fares better in definitively uncovering the identity of Satoshi Nakもと.

One persistent theory suggests that Bitcoin was not, in fact, created by a single individual, but rather by a government agency, specifically the Central Intelligence Agency.

This notion was recently amplified by none other than Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who dedicated an entire segment of his podcast to discussing the theory.

During the podcast, Carlson enthusiastically stated that it was "obvious" the CIA created Bitcoin, labeling it a "honeytrap" designed to ensnare cryptocurrency enthusiasts.

While the theory presents a captivating narrative, it lacks substantial concrete evidence to fully substantiate its claims.

Proponents of the "CIA invented Bitcoin" theory often point to the loose translation of Satoshi Nakamoto from Japanese, which roughly yields the terms "central" and "intelligence."

Alternatively, some have speculated that the National Security Agency might be responsible for Bitcoin's creation, a conjecture that, upon closer examination, appears more logical.

畢竟, 畢竟, cryptocurrencies are essentially conjured via cryptography, and the NSA, boasting the title of the world's premier cryptography organization with more mathematicians on staff than any other institution on the planet, would certainly possess the know-how and expertise to pull off such a feat.

But the question remains: why would America's intelligence services bother to create a fake internet currency to rival the dollar?

As for the answer to that query, your guess is probably as good, if not better, than mine.

If you happen to tune into Russian state media, they will enthusiastically inform you that Bitcoin was devised to generate funds for covert American operations abroad, a claim that, despite being advanced by our geopolitical adversaries, holds just as much validity as any other theory floating around out there.

Money Electric will be available on Max starting October 8.
