对中本聪的搜寻已经持续了十多年。它已经造成了惊人的失败,包括《新闻周刊》2014 年臭名昭著的封面故事,声称中本聪躲藏在洛杉矶的众目睽睽之下。
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.
对中本聪的搜寻已经持续了十多年。它已经造成了惊人的失败,包括《新闻周刊》2014 年臭名昭著的封面故事,声称中本聪躲藏在洛杉矶的众目睽睽之下。这一发现大错特错——《新闻周刊》发现了一位困惑的老人,他的姓氏恰好是中本聪——但这一事件将成为比特币的又一个传说。它也成为说明确认偏差危险的教科书例子。
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.
现在卡伦·霍巴克 (Cullen Hoback) 来了,他的新纪录片《金钱电子:比特币之谜》旨在一劳永逸地揭开中本聪的面纱。这部电影于太平洋时间晚上 9 点在 HBO 首映,该网络于 2021 年发布了霍巴克的《Q:走进故事》,近距离观察了 Q-Anon 阴谋,可信地指出了策划这一阴谋的人。
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.
霍巴克并不缺乏信心(《金钱电力》的预告片宣称“互联网最大的谜团”将被揭开),总的来说,他的纪录片是一部不错的纪录片。它避免了大多数其他加密电影的陷阱。 《Money Electric》并不是追星族们为了推广代币而制作的粉丝电影。它也不会在不试图理解加密货币行业的情况下贬低和嘲笑它——这是潜在的老练批评家的常见做法。
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,霍巴克描绘了一群长期比特币倡导者对自己的看法:作为中本聪礼物的管理者,中本聪的礼物给了地球一种超越侵入、挥霍的政府所能承受的货币形式。从这个角度来看,反派是摩根大通首席执行官杰米·戴蒙(Jamie Dimon)和伊丽莎白·沃伦(Elizabeth Warren),前者是《Money Electric》开头和结尾处出现的厌恶比特币的银行家,后者是与华尔街结盟反对加密货币的进步参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦。
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.
与此同时,Money Electric 的核心人物是那些与 Blockstream 相关的人,Blockstream 是一家促进个人、公司甚至国家采用比特币的公司。在影片一开始,我们见到了 Samson Mow,他是一位自称为比特币大使的人,他帮助说服塞尔维亚王子和萨尔瓦多总统接受比特币。
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.
还有Blockstream的创始人Adam Back,他因创造比特币前身Hash Cash而闻名。我们还见到了像 Back 追随者和核心比特币开发者 Peter Todd 这样的人物,以及 Roger “Bitcoin Jesus” Ver,另一位有影响力的早期加密货币人物,目前面临逃税指控。商界知名人士也客串了其中,其中包括 Twitter 联合创始人 Jack Dorsey,他将自己的另一家公司从 Square 更名为 Block,作为他对加密货币的奉献精神的一部分。
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.
这部纪录片对这些长期比特币爱好者的采访赋予了它权威性,它对加密货币发展中的重大事件的简洁处理也是如此。其中包括围绕比特币架构的所谓区块大小之争、以太坊和山寨币(批评者称之为“垃圾币”)的崛起,以及美国政府最近阻碍该行业的行动。
Satoshi ‘revealed’
中本聪“揭晓”
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.
《金钱电力》在其他加密货币电影中脱颖而出的另一个原因是其巨额的制作预算——霍巴克在马耳他、加拿大、萨尔瓦多和许多其他地方拍摄场景——而且因为导演竭尽全力声称能识别中本聪的身份。不幸的是,他的赌注几乎肯定是错误的。
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.
霍巴克寻找中本聪身份的探索是从正确的方向开始的。他确定了“密码朋克”网络中最杰出的人物,他们都对隐私和密码学充满热情,并通过现在著名的同名电子邮件列表进行通信。正是这个邮件列表以及一个名为 BitcoinTalk 的在线论坛,除了他著名的白皮书之外,中本聪还分享了他对比特币的愿景。
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.
在纪录片的早期,霍巴克展示了与比特币关系最密切的密码朋克的照片,他们代表了最有可能成为中本聪的候选人。他们是 Back,Blockstream 和 Hash Cash 的创造者,以及长期比特币爱好者熟悉的其他名字: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.
霍巴克短暂地半心半意地评估了这些候选人是否是中本聪,然后转向澳大利亚江湖骗子克雷格·怀特 (Craig Wright),他于 2016 年进入加密货币领域,并提出了伪造的证据,声称自己发明了比特币。幸运的是,这位电影制片人没有被录取,而是转向了其他候选人。随着 Money Electric 的发展,它首先把目标瞄准了 Back 作为潜在的中本聪,然后瞄准了 Back 的 Blockstream 门徒和朋友 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.
托德比其他长期被确定为可能候选人的人物要年轻得多,在中本聪发布比特币白皮书时他已经 19 或 20 岁了。为了证明托德就是中本聪,霍巴克利用了他 2013 年与一位名叫约翰·狄龙 (John Dillon) 的身份不明的人物就比特币技术升级进行的电子邮件往来。
The emails were leaked in 2016 and caused a minor
这些电子邮件于 2016 年泄露并引起了轻微的
