對中本聰的搜尋已經持續了十多年。它已經造成了驚人的失敗,包括《新聞周刊》2014 年臭名昭著的封面故事,聲稱中本聰躲在洛杉磯的眾目睽睽之下。
The search for Satoshi has now gone on for more than a decade. It has produced spectacular misfires, including Newsweek’s infamous 2014 cover story that claimed to find Satoshi hiding in plain sight in Los Angeles. The discovery was wildly wrong—Newsweek had instead found a confused older man whose last name happened to be Nakamoto—but the episode would become another piece of Bitcoin lore. It also served as a textbook example of the perils of confirmation bias.
對中本聰的搜尋已經持續了十多年。它已經造成了驚人的失敗,包括《新聞周刊》2014 年臭名昭著的封面故事,聲稱中本聰躲在洛杉磯的眾目睽睽之下。這項發現大錯特錯——《新聞週刊》發現了一位困惑的老人,他的姓氏恰好是中本聰——但這一事件將成為比特幣的另一個傳說。它也成為說明確認偏誤危險的教科書範例。
Now comes Cullen Hoback, whose new documentary Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery purports to unmask Satoshi Nakamoto once and for all. The film debuts at 9pm PT on HBO, the network that in 2021 released Hoback’s Q: Into the Story, a close-up look at the Q-Anon conspiracy that credibly pointed to the people who orchestrated it.
現在卡倫霍巴克 (Cullen Hoback) 來了,他的新紀錄片《金錢電子:比特幣之謎》旨在一勞永逸地揭開中本聰的面紗。這部電影於太平洋時間晚上9 點在HBO 首映,該網絡於2021 年發布了霍巴克的《Q:走進故事》,近距離觀察了Q-Anon 陰謀,可信地指出了策劃這一陰謀的人。
Hoback does not lack confidence (the trailer for Money Electric proclaims the “Internet’s greatest mystery” will be revealed) and, by and large, his documentary is a good one. It avoids the pitfalls of most other crypto films. Money Electric is not a fan film by groupies looking to promote a token. Nor does it disparage and ridicule the crypto industry without trying to understand it—a common approach by would-be sophisticated critics.
霍巴克並不缺乏信心(《金錢電力》的預告片宣稱「網路最大的謎團」將被揭開),總的來說,他的紀錄片是一部不錯的紀錄片。它避免了大多數其他加密電影的陷阱。 《Money Electric》並不是追星族們為了推廣代幣而製作的粉絲電影。它也不會在不試圖理解加密貨幣行業的情況下貶低和嘲笑它——這是潛在的老練批評家的常見做法。
Instead, Hoback depicts a group of long-time Bitcoin advocates the way they see themselves: As the stewards of Satoshi’s gift, which gave the planet a form of money beyond the reach of intrusive, profligate governments. In this view, the villains are JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon—the Bitcoin-hating banker who is shown at the beginning and end of Money Electric—and Elizabeth Warren, the progressive senator who allied with Wall Street against crypto.
相反,霍巴克描繪了一群長期比特幣倡導者對自己的看法:作為中本聰禮物的管理者,中本聰的禮物給了地球一種超越侵入、揮霍的政府所能承受的貨幣形式。從這個角度來看,反派是摩根大通首席執行官傑米·戴蒙(Jamie Dimon)和伊麗莎白·沃倫(Elizabeth Warren),前者是《Money Electric》開頭和結尾處出現的厭惡比特幣的銀行家,後者是與華爾街結盟反對加密貨幣的進步參議員伊麗莎白沃倫。
Meanwhile, the central characters in Money Electric are those tied to Blockstream, a company that promotes the adoption of Bitcoin by individuals, companies and even countries. At the outset of the film, we meet Samson Mow, a self-proclaimed Bitcoin ambassador who helps persuade the Prince of Serbia and the President of El Salvador to embrace the currency.
同時,Money Electric 的核心人物是與 Blockstream 相關的人,Blockstream 是一家促進個人、公司甚至國家採用比特幣的公司。在影片一開始,我們見到了 Samson Mow,他是一位自稱為比特幣大使的人,他幫助說服塞爾維亞王子和薩爾瓦多總統接受比特幣。
There is also Adam Back, the founder of Blockstream who is famous for creating Hash Cash, a precursor to Bitcoin. We also meet figures like Peter Todd, a Back acolyte and core Bitcoin developer, as well as Roger “Bitcoin Jesus” Ver, another influential early crypto figure who is currently facing charges for tax evasion. There are also cameos from high profile figures from the business world, including Jack Dorsey, the Twitter co-founder who renamed his other company from Square to Block as part of his dedication to crypto.
還有Blockstream的創辦人Adam Back,他以創造比特幣前身Hash Cash而聞名。我們也見到了像 Back 追隨者和核心比特幣開發者 Peter Todd 這樣的人物,以及 Roger “Bitcoin Jesus” Ver,另一位有影響力的早期加密貨幣人物,目前面臨逃稅指控。商界知名人士也客串了其中,其中包括 Twitter 聯合創始人 Jack Dorsey,他將自己的另一家公司從 Square 更名為 Block,作為他對加密貨幣的奉獻精神的一部分。
The documentary’s interviews with this roster of longtime Bitcoiners lends it authority, as does its succinct handling of major events in crypto’s evolution. Those include the so-called block size wars over Bitcoin’s architecture, the rise of Ethereum and alt-coins (“shitcoins” to detractors) and the U.S. government’s recent campaign to hobble the industry.
這部紀錄片對這些長期比特幣愛好者的採訪賦予了它權威性,它對加密貨幣發展中的重大事件的簡潔處理也是如此。其中包括圍繞比特幣架構的所謂區塊大小之爭、以太坊和山寨幣(批評者稱之為「垃圾幣」)的崛起,以及美國政府最近阻礙該行業的行動。
Satoshi ‘revealed’
中本聰“揭曉”
Money Electric also stands out from other crypto films because of its hefty production budget—Hoback shoots scenes in Malta, Canada, El Salvador and numerous other places—and because the director pushes in all his chips in claiming to identify Satoshi Nakamoto. Unfortunately, his bet is almost certainly wrong.
《金錢電力》在其他加密貨幣電影中脫穎而出的另一個原因是其巨額的製作預算——霍巴克在馬耳他、加拿大、薩爾瓦多和許多其他地方拍攝場景——而且因為導演竭盡全力聲稱能識別中本聰的身份。不幸的是,他的賭注幾乎肯定是錯的。
Hoback’s quest to identify Satoshi begins in the right direction. He identifies the most prominent figures in a network of “cypherpunks” who shared a passion for privacy and cryptography, and corresponded via a now-famous email list of the same name. It was this mailing list as well as an online forum called BitcoinTalk where, in addition to his famous white paper, Satoshi shared his vision for Bitcoin.
霍巴克尋找中本聰身分的探索是從正確的方向開始的。他確定了「密碼朋克」網路中最傑出的人物,他們都對隱私和密碼學充滿熱情,並透過現在著名的同名電子郵件清單進行通訊。正是這個郵件清單以及一個名為 BitcoinTalk 的線上論壇,除了他著名的白皮書之外,中本聰還分享了他對比特幣的願景。
Early in the documentary, Hoback shows photos of the cypherpunks most closely associated with Bitcoin and who represent the most likely candidates to be Satoshi. They are Back, the creator of Blockstream and Hash Cash, as well as other names familiar to longtime Bitcoiners: Hal Finney, Nick Szabo and Wei Dai.
在紀錄片的早期,霍巴克展示了與比特幣關係最密切的密碼朋克的照片,他們代表了最有可能成為中本聰的候選人。他們是 Back,Blockstream 和 Hash Cash 的創造者,以及其他長期比特幣愛好者熟悉的名字:Hal Finney、Nick Szabo 和 Wei Dai。
Hoback makes a brief half-hearted effort to assess if these candidates are Satoshi, and then moves on to Craig Wright, an Australian charlatan who arrived on the crypto scene in 2016 with falsified evidence to claim he invented Bitcoin. Mercifully, the film maker is not taken in and moves on to other candidates. As Money Electric progresses, it zeroes in first on Back as a potential Satoshi and then on Back’s Blockstream protegé and friend, Peter Todd.
霍巴克短暫地半心半意地評估了這些候選人是否是中本聰,然後轉向澳大利亞江湖騙子克雷格·懷特(Craig Wright),他於2016 年進入加密貨幣領域,並提出了偽造的證據,聲稱自己發明了比特幣。幸運的是,這位電影製片人沒有被錄取,而是轉向了其他候選人。隨著 Money Electric 的發展,它首先把目標瞄準了 Back 作為潛在的中本聰,然後瞄準了 Back 的 Blockstream 門徒和朋友 Peter Todd。
Todd is much younger than the other figures long identified as likely candidates, and would have been 19 or 20 years old at the time Satoshi Nakamoto published the Bitcoin white paper. To make his case that Todd is Satoshi, Hoback seizes on his 2013 email exchange with an unknown figure named John Dillon about a technical upgrade to Bitcoin.
托德比其他長期被確定為可能候選人的人物要年輕得多,在中本聰發布比特幣白皮書時他已經 19 或 20 歲了。為了證明托德就是中本聰,霍巴克利用了他 2013 年與一位名叫約翰·狄龍 (John Dillon) 的身份不明的人物就比特幣技術升級進行的電子郵件往來。
The emails were leaked in 2016 and caused a minor
這些電子郵件於 2016 年洩漏並引起了輕微的
