HBO is releasing a documentary about Bitcoin

Introduction

New HBO documentary Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery releasing on October 8, has generated a huge interest in cryptocurrency communities. But why?

Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?

This question is asked by thousands of people every day, and despite 15 years of existence, no one knows the answer to this question. Over the years, there have been numerous speculations about his existence: Nick Szabo, Hal Finney, Craig Wright, Dorian Nakamoto, and even Elon Musk. There is also a theory that it could be a group of people. Revealing a satoshi identity could affect the Bitcoin price, but it's unlikely to affect the network itself, thanks to its decentralized nature. Hbo claims to solve this mystery in the new trailer for its upcoming documentary.

The documentary is directed by filmmaker Cullen Hoback, who previously unmasked the leader of the QAnon conspiracy theory in another HBO series.

Bettors on Polymarket favors Bettors Len Sassaman?

After trailer's release, speculation has arisen about who the documentary may indicate - bettors on Polymarket (decentralized prediction platform) think that it could be Len Sassaman - computer programmer and cypherpunk, who committed suicide after Satoshi stopped posting on BitcoinTalk. He was also a contributor to the cypherpunk mailing list, where Bitcoin was first announced.

To honor his work, Sassaman's testimonial had been permanently embedded into the Bitcoin Protocol.

Will it reveal Satoshi Nakamoto's identity?

The identity of Satoshi Nakamoto is one of the biggest mysteries in modern technology. Will Money Electric reveal who Satoshi is, or is this just a marketing gimmick? We'll find out on October 8.
