Topic: Could we crowdfund a movie about Satoshi Nakamoto? (Read 734 times)

We can, but then again what would it be? If it's a documentary, we can work that out, however if it's going to be a biography, we can't make that since we don't know a thing about Satoshi, not even what he looks like, other than the fact that he is the one who created bitcoin. If we're going to create a movie, it has to be something that doesn't have to compete with other movies in its category.

You must into script and movie production for you to reason along this line. It is funny though how you have planned everything so well. The movie won't be played well because nobody knows much about Satoshi Nakamoto

That money could be better spent elsewhere. I saw the recent movie Silk Road. It was an independent production, and therefore failed to garner much hype. I felt bad, because the movie was 99% accurate about Ross Ulbricht and the dark markets. But the problem is that it is extremely hard for the independent productions to attract large viewership. Hollywood is being dominated by a handful of powerful producers. And this is why I am of the opinion that crowdfunding the movie may be a bad idea.

Satoshi Nakamoto is just a name given to identify the creator of bitcoin. No one really knows if it is one person, group, or maybe a company that developed it way back in 2009. It's just the creative imagination of many people because Satoshi is a name of a person. It's like making a movie about history that didn't happen at all in the past. It would be a shame if the real creator(s) of bitcoin sees it. If Satoshi really wants to reveal himself in public, he should have done it already. Maybe he knows that he won't be able to live peacefully if people know about his identity.

We have to admit that the idea of the opening post was actually quite good by making a movie about Satoshi Nakamoto. It can make Bitcoin
more recognized by many people, and can also provide education about the history of Bitcoin. But the problem is that there isn't much information
about Satoshi Nakamoto that can be known and told in the movie. Because without accurate information, it is feared that the movie will mislead
many people. So, for now, the idea of making the movie should not be realized first.

Your idea is to move this market to a different area, reach more audiences and make it known more by people, but we do not have enough knowledge to shoot this movie. How can you make a movie about someone you don't know who they are and how can you present this movie to people. While there have been a lot of fraud news lately, we shouldn't risk ourselves by telling people that are perceived as deceiving people and unrealistic things.

As a woman, I would like them to make a Satoshi movie, I would like to find out that Satoshi was not only a man but a group, and that there was participation of women, I see him as a very smart group from the NSA. , or maybe a group of scientists from NASA, I think it is difficult to make the film for not knowing who Satoshi is.

You say it as if Spielberg spent all of his time making only good movies. Do you recall Indiana Jones movie "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull"? (I won't be surprised if you don't. I'm trying to erase it from my memory, too.)


We have movies about Jesus and the early Christians, right?
I know, it's not the perfect analogy, but if we can have blockbuster movies with a raccoon and a talking tree as main characters, who's to say that a movie about Satoshi can't work as well?

Well, I've never thought of the founder Satoshi Nakamoto as not being a single person. I feel more comfort in him being an individual than a group though, I believe he or she must have a co-developers in the bitcoin dream but then, the way they've been able to handle the secrecy behind this mysterious name @Satoshi Nakamoto and his person has been a thing of wonder that, the story behind the development of bitcoin would be far too fictitious on his person. Almost nothing is known.

Come to think of it, is the founder a male or female?

Anyway, a movie of this nature would advertise bitcoin to a far extent and would bring forth some certain truth and realisation of citizens of  actions on truths about bitcoin but, it would be delay a lot as to its origin. Though, I think people would be a lot more interested in the movie.

I like the idea itself, but it's not very clear to be honest how it should look. It would be logical to shoot such a film after revealing the identity or a group of people who could at least make something clear about themselves and their motives. Yes, we already understand and know something ourselves, but these are rather assumptions of third parties, and when you shoot a biographical film, it would be nice to know who it was filmed about. On the other hand, it may be a film in the blockchain in general and its history, but there are already quite a few such films, as I understand it.

I wonder what genre of movie it would be to make it interesting for non crypto people too.
If it would be a docummentary movie then I think it would have to be educational so the newbies would also learn from it that up till now we still haven't found the real creator.

I think you're right, creating a movie about someone doesn't know the full identity will be a wrong move. Since we don't know her/him it will be fictional movie rather than something real. But movie about Satoshi needs to be real to get the attention of viewers, people are interested about Satoshi since he/she still unknown. Those documentaries you telling would be nice rather than to have a movie without enough information about the main character. I think it's possible to crowdfund a movie about Satoshi Nakamoto since he/she still intriguing and for sure all the people in bitcoin would be excited for this. But  before doing a movie we needs to have a profound informations about Satoshi Nakamoto so I think looking for her/him and agreeing her/him story to be shared should be the first move.

I was just going to point it out. How can you make a movie about Satoshi Nakamoto, someone who is anonymous and nobody knows? How would you gather the necessary information needed to make a movie? How would you gather his biography?  How would date the plot of the movie since you don't even know the age of the Satoshi?
I do believe that if this will possible, however it will be, there would be a lot of work to be done. One would need quite a lot of resources to accomplish a feat as this.

it would be wrong to do the filming but there are no resource persons, and the bitcoin story is just fictional. If there is a story and plot error I think it will impact bitcoin on the crypto pasa because it concerns bitcoin. so it may not be effective to make a film about bitcoin before knowing the real source

I think it's about the money! So whoever hit a billion-dollar wallet first, should give 10-20 million for the movie. Maybe Spielberg needs more money, but any billionaire could handle any request!

We all to crowdfund the movie will not be right, but I guess some smart contracts would be able to calculate all investments, and in the end, everyone would get a share of the project... classical ICO, or IEO...

Jokes on aside, we should respect the privacy of the creator! But that doesn't mean that some imaginative person can't deliver a story that could look like some real thing! Artist freedom... somehow I am sure we will see something about this very soon. Crypto, especially Bitcoin, is becoming more popular, and movie industry will use it!

Lol it would be either fun or waste of time. Steve Spelberg will not waste his time for this project

Satoshi loves to be anonymous and live in the shadow. Creating a movie about him against all of his free will. We should respect his wish. He has given us the greatest invention ever

What you are suggesting will be a fictional movie rather than near to something real. There are already many documentaries which you might have seen or check out. They are not Satoshi-centered but related to the birth of bitcoin. There are many projects which do crowdfunding for new movies and I guess they can help out or plan for something like this. Moviebloc MBL is one of them, they already have an OTT platform and it will be easier for these types of projects to make a movie or documentary.

I am a professional screenwriter and have compiled many Hollywood blockbusters. This is a very, very good movie theme. How can we connect? Please let me know by email. [email protected]

I don't think that it would be a good idea, we don't know the story of Satoshi Nakamoto and if we are going to create a love of his life then for sure it will all just a lie, we will just be based on some other opinions and from not accurate sources. I don think that Satoshi Nakamoto will be happy once he watched a movie of his life in all lies. Maybe we need first to Identify who Satoshi Nakamoto is, who is the real Satoshi Nakamoto, and interview his life because he is the one who creates the successful bitcoin.

I also agree, guys! Satoshi's character has little historical data to give him life in a movie. Unless the emotions are collected for each line that he wrote in bitcointalk and the times that he shared email with the other personalities that he maintained close communication so that the writers can create a character based on his ideas and temperament. That was the reality of him, an enigmatic and brilliant man. I think we will be satisfied if the story is based on real events.
For my part, I would love to see a good movie about Satoshi in his honor because without a doubt he will be the most important man of the 21st century as bitcoin becomes more popular and it has allowed the development of a new economy with cryptocurrencies.

Making a movie without solid facts is just futile. You can't give a good narrative if the lead person himself has blurred personal history. So I don't think someone can ever make a movie for Satoshi. They can always use his persona in a movie but dedicating a movie for him is quite a challenge. So right now, even if someone has the funds to make it happen, they can't as they are not holding the facts about him, mostly are conspiracy theories and fake individuals admitting they are Satoshi.

using it for a marketing stuff will not really work because he/she isnt someone that people knows. using a faceless personality wont have a big impact. a simple writeup will be enough to pass the message.

Good suggestion but how can anyone make biography on someone who is anonymous and little is known about him.
We all know Satoshi created btc but how do we now what circumstances lead to this, what difficulties he faced, what real purpose he had for creating btc etc.
Without ample knowledge about the person, making a movie on him will serve no purpose.

You're actually right.We can't make a movie without knowing the main character. For my own opinion the most possible thing that we can create from all the informations we know about him is documenting. Document all the emails he left or other stuff that can be important. I think people would be more interested to watch documentary rather than a movie without complete and enough context about the main character. I also agree his name sounds japanese.

For making film you need to have proper script which might also be fictional like Indentity of Sathoshi Nakamoto is not known at all.From past incidents which are known making 2-3 hours of proper movie is difficult task.Making audience addictive till last of the movie is main task and how you portray his character.Budget is not at all a problem because if your story is liked by everyone you will get many producers for your movie.Here is one article in which a similar movie discussion is carried out.

Sathoshi Nakamoto new movie "Decrypted"


The film is supposed to be released on 1st July 2021 under the Substantial Production House.


Let's see what they have come with up in this movie and how have the lead actor played the role to make movie better.

Satoshi Nakamoto is the presumed person who developed bitcoin, authored the bitcoin white paper, and created and deployed bitcoin's original reference implementation. Making a movie about the creator of BTC who's still unknown even now is absurd. How would you make a movie out of a person whose identity is unknown? We're not really sure if he's the real creator of BTC.

That is far fetch thing to speculate satoshi's nationality since his way of talking resembles of a British wording and IIRC Satoshi is not a Japanese word. Regarding a movie about him, I would watch it if that movie is accurate and will tell us who really is satoshi.

I don't think we can make that movie without knows who is the satoshi is. All i know about him just a view post in this forum and i think she from japan because of he's name.

movies dont need crowd funding.. and if they did. they would end up in the 'indie' category and not become a blockbuster hit.

if you want a movie worthy of viewing. get a CORRECT and accurate script that has enough content to be entertaining and informative. then hand it to movie studios.

there has already been movies released about crypto with big names in it.. there have been many tv shows too
https://www.imdb.com/search/keyword/?keywords=cryptocurrency
its even had many features in individual episodes and movies where crypto was mentioned but was not the main plot
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin_references_in_TV_Shows

Like it is very difficult to come true if you have to raise funds in order to make Hollywood films with famous stars. The costs required are enormous,
but you are free to dream, there are no restrictions on this. But why don't you think a little realistically, especially in a pandemic situation like now,
it is impossible for your idea to be realized. Because making a film is not as easy as we think, it is not only a matter of cost that is thought. There are
many things that must be taken into account. Moreover, information about Satoshi Nakamoto is very limited. So it's not easy to make a film about
the biography of Satoshi Nakamoto.

I would love to see it but unfortunately, the chances of this to happen will be close to zero.
One thing more is that, how can you make a movie regarding a person/s who we don't know its exact identity or identities.

I think documentaries regarding Satoshi is enough already and creating a movie isn't necessary and one thing more is that it doesn't really need a movie unless there will be some greedy directors and actors out there who will try to create a movie regarding Satoshi. I don't think too that it will be watched by many people too especially us who have been involved in crypto for a long time and yet we don't know who Satoshi is.

To me, it is a brilliant idea but I can't decide for everyone. If it happens, I will contribute my quota to make it a reality by donating some bulks.
The movie will be a hit because many will want to know more about him through it.

Could be interesting movie and possibly many would be interested for this production
thing is no one else but satoshi(s) really know the story behind the story...

This is not something I agree with. Satoshi Nakamoto has more than enough money (bitcoins) to finance his own goddamn movie, in my opinion. 

What will be the content of the movie when no one actually knows who is the Satoshi Nakamoto? Just create an imaginary thing is say this was happening while creating bitcoins. Biography are for the one who is known and they will tell the writer about their whole story here someone assume and write everything as fake is not actually going to benefit anyone.

I just wanted to know how the plot would have been depicted if the film was made. because so far we have only heard biased information and do not provide strong references regarding the figure of Satoshi Nakamoto. For me this is a pretty good initiative, and I would be really excited to see how this film is made and officially released.

At that level that you mention (people involved), an idea is useless, even without having a single dollar in your pocket what works is an original script or maybe a book and making an adapted script, after that comes everything else . If you have a good book or a good script, the movie has financing in any streaming and since Steven Spielberg does not bet on streaming, we rule it out.

There already are tons of documentaries about BTC which includes information about Satoshi. The thing is that there is not that much to film about, Steve jobs is a person who you can talk to and find all his lifes work . But since we dont know who is Sataoshi it would not be that interesting because of lack of information.

I think that to get such popular people to work on the movie, you'd need way more than $12 million unless they feel generous because of caring about the topic (which I don't think is going to happen). That movie Steve Jobs you're referring to cost $30 million, so I guess that's a more realistic budget. Moreover, it's really hard to make a biopic about a person whose identity remains a secret and about whom we have very limited information.
Apart from that, people like this don't work on a story they aren't interested in, and while Steve Jobs is extremely popular and recognized for his achievements, whereas Satoshi is definitely not that popular.

making movies is not as easy as imagined. that's what crossed my mind until now. maybe for you it looks easy, so go ahead if there is a plan to make a film about the history of Satoshi Nakamoto journey. for me the idea is very good, the most important thing is to provide work and education for everyone regarding the history of the birth of bitcoin.
However, again, will that history give us a cure for Satoshi curiosity? I do not think so !!!

Accurately, actually i've already read one of the article that tackles who would be the true Satoshi Nakamoto and to my surprise they have a three person involve being accused as Satoshi Nakamoto. But on the other hand, this will going to be an exciting mover and I will surely watch it coz i do want to know the real Satoshi Nakamoto. However if this might turn into reality this will really affect the the price of bitcoin.

It would be way too much fiction to make a movie about someone you've never known, met or seen. I know we are always enthusiastic when it comes to bitcoin and view Satoshi Nakamoto as a hero but then, crowd funding and making a movie about some one you knew not what was on his mind or exactly at what point the idea of bitcoin popped up on his mind is not going to tell the actual truth about bitcoin and it would live the masses having an idea of the character just as it would be painted which would be so unreal for a real story. Its not worth it if you ask me.

unless you are living under a rock they are already making one https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11763296/    Decrypted (2021)

I don't think that this is a good idea. That money can be better spent elsewhere. Obviously you can go for a low-budget option, but it won't generate much interest without the Hollywood stars, hype and advertisement. Look at what happened to Silk Road movie, that was released recently. It was a really good movie, but it didn't created a lot of interest at the box-office due to lack of hype and advertisement. If we want to make a movie about Satoshi, then it should be a big-budget production staring some of the well known names, such as Matt Damon, Johnny Depp, Jason Statham or Will Smith. But that is going to cost big $$$.

I would very much like to see some big budget movie(s) about Satoshi Nakamoto and Bitcoin and this could be one more thing that would help bring new people to crypto space if done correctly,
but the problem is that this movie can't be fully based on real events (for obvious reasons) and some people like Faketoshi CSW could abuse this to again present himself as a real Satoshi.
Bitcoin whales and donations could help funding this movie but they would not all agree on scenario and actors, you would have a ton of people complaining that it is just a fantasy movie and this would probably drag forever.

I think that is interesting, we did not know who really satoshi is but a documentary like movies is possible and that is by analyzing all information he had before he completely disappeared in the space.

I think we they should start by analyzing his post here. https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/satoshi-3

I would do the same and those words are coming from me who isn't a fond of watching any documentary. I mean what is the point of making a movie about Satoshi? We don't know the person behind the legendary name and knowing Hollywood, they are probably going to butcher his story because .

Nah, sorry OP. Not gonna happen.
I rather binge-watch a lot of Bitcoin-related documentaries than documentary about someone that we didn't even know.
Don't even get me started about those fake-toshis here in the forum.

It would be somehow interesting if it somehow have the story the same as Edward Snowden, though I may be going a bit off-topic there already.

Have you asked yourself also if Satoshi Nakamoto Wanted this to happen? why We are taking it down when the Creator/creators itself don't wanted to even reveal Himself?

Do we really Not respect Satoshi for His decision to stay Silent and anonymous?

---

And since you are the one who wanted this to be in Film then why ask for Crowdfunding ? why not Fund it yoursel?

Very interesting, I think it will also make those who enjoy the film will be interested in the development of bitcoin if it enters the film industry will be better. Let's discuss it to the highest person in this forum and to the investors who fund it.

Very good question, the way the op analyse the move procedure it almost seem like he knows one or two thing about satoshi that the rest of us don't,
Before anything like this can happen, there must be some proper information about the person/people but in this case there is like zero information about satoshi and his/her/they life style,
Between what makes op think Keanu Revees would agree to play the role of an anonymous fella  

Satoshi is a genius, so if you are going to make a biography about him/her/they, you might as well make it count, not half info for a biography of such magnitude.

I think we can make a movie about Satoshi. Even if we do not have much information about Satoshi, we can use technology to explain the bitcoin journey from the beginning. So that can educate people out there about bitcoin, how bitcoin invented, and who the creator is. People will see that bitcoin is a good investment besides gold, and they can try to invest in bitcoin, which can give them more opportunity to make money in the future. But we need to collect more information about Satoshi because he is the creator of bitcoin.

So you want to make a movie based from other people's story that doesn't have any proofs and evidences?

We don't have any validation about Satoshi Nakamoto's existence and yet you want to make a movie about him? It is not good to make a movie about something that don't have any realistic basis because it can create a negative view about bitcoin and people will question everything from the movie.

If there's already a proof about his existence and how he started to create bitcoin then that is probably a good idea when someone make a movie about him.

It can somehow affect bitcoin's price in the market positively.

The truth to me if I would like to see a film by Satoshi Nakamoto with the little information that is known, although I do not know how it could be raised well, it is not known if Satoshi is one person or there are several people, the approach that he The director of the film himself could set the tone in the belief of who Satoshi really was.

Steven Spielberg is a great option that can raise the plot of the film, but he would not take a chance with so little information, I think that if more information is known about Satoshi if possible, in the meantime the best that can be done for now is a movie about Bitcoin or a series, where bitcointalk is also talked about.

Exactly! Was just about asking the same question. We don't even know him/her. Maybe the little we know isn't up to 10% of his/her real life. Unless the movie will just be a movie (not based on the real life Satoshi). But then, if we had enough information, i'd be interested in the movie cause i believe it could serve a huge inspiration... One man changing the whole world... So much!

The main step before making the film was to be able to find a source who could be accurate, because even Satoshi Nakamoto was unknown. I think you have to be smart before giving the idea to make a film. so I think bitcoin films must be made real with real sources and cannot be done fictitiously because it will affect the price of crypto if the film is made fictitiously.

There is a possibility that a movie about Bitcoin, its origins, challenges, and ultimately success would come out in the near future. If a movie was created out of Facebook and Steve Jobs, there is no reason why one about Bitcoin wouldn't be made. What Bitcoin has gone through was one hell of a ride. The odds were seemingly insurmountable but Bitcoin weathered all of it. Well, so far.

But I don't think a crowdfunding is needed. Let those interested who have the money fund it.

I think that the first problem is not the money. I think that the first problem is a proper script.
Maybe you should start with gathering stories, which, if you want it proper documentary, have to be well checked to be true.

The idea sounds well but information about Satoshi Nakomoto may not be enough for a movie.

It would only be a fiction movie because Satoshi Nakamoto is still anonymous and no one knows about his story, so the story would only be speculation, Yeah, but this movie is not that easy to create and a lot of time should be needed before we create the whole movie, besides if ever Satoshi is still alive I don't think that he would be happy about the story because for sure the story would be a whole lie and different from his real story.

It'd be closer to fiction in that case, and honestly, I'd rather watch a well-written fiction about his life rather than a forced story made from the info publicly available on the net(whether its true or not idrk though).  Heck, the story could even progress with Satoshi just being a blank person that speaks in the background without being revealed. Though in that case, it'd be closer to a story of how Bitcoin was developed instead of a movie about him, which imo is the only movie possible since again, we don't really know much about the person themselves.

That's right, making a film about someone you don't know about will only create a false story...
making a film about Finney or a veteran member who founded this forum for the first time will be much better and will definitely get a good rating.

Nah, this won't be a effected marketing since nobody knew Satoshi. Everything will be base on fiction, and we all know that Hollywoood doesn't give justice portraying real life personality because they are going to add a lot of things which didn't happen.

You can't compare it to Steve Jobs biopic obviously, Satoshi is unknown.

Yes franky1, it would have to start with the cypherpunks and their different efforts
to create a form of digital currency.

It of course would have to be massively dramatised, like a drama thriller.

! The cypherpunks, Nick Szabo, Hal Finney, Gavin Andeason and others working on various projects.

! Government agencies investigating their efforts

! The cypherpunks receiving a random email with the Bitcoin Whitepaper

! The cypherpunks pouring over it and discussing it, then them replying to the email

! at this point Satoshi appears on the screen, this shadowy person, we cannot make out
it is a he or a she (for the screen, it wont be a they)

! the government agencies are getting closer and switch their attention to Satoshi

! more interaction between Satoshi and others and how they along with the law are trying
to find out who Satoshi is, while helping with Bitcoin

! Government agencies getting closer, it looks like they are about to knock on Satoshi's door,
but then Satoshi is not there...

I wonder how the movie would be since we know very little about the creator and what kind of movie it would be.
When I read the title I just laugh and imagine the whole movie would revolve around a dark room and a PC with a person who we wouldn't see the face be sitting in front of the pc and typing codes or emails.

Crowdfunding has its limit and given your cast, director, writer and music score, I don't think that 12 million is going to be enough, not to mention that how can you make a movie about satoshi when no one knows a thing about satoshi, what do you want them to do? Make a fake back story which is likely to happen since Hollywood can do this kind of thing for dramatization purposes but that would mean that they wouldn't be faithful to the original but what can they do when they are in a paradox. I would say that we can crowdfund but the problem is will people are going to jump in the crowdfund mania?

So you wanna start a crowdfunding campaign and gather a few million dollars,in order to hire Steven Spielberg/Danny Boyle,William Defoe,Keanu Reeves and Hans Zimmer? Yeah,this is definitely going to work.
Any idea about the plot?Is this going to be the story about the most anonymous man in the world,who sits in some secret place and creates the Bitcoin code on his computer,while nobody knows nothing about him?Computer programming is so damn interesting,the viewers will be excited for sure.

a movie about satoshi should not involve Dave Kleiman..

DK and CSW had nothing to do with bitcoin during satoshi era

if you want a movie about DK and CSW.. then you should put it into the fiction category

if you still believe CSW/DK had something to do with satoshi. then you are definitely not the right person/expert on what the movie should contain/be about


now go do your research and realise CSW and DK only got involved in 2013 when CSW made a scam about owning lots of bitcoin.. a scam created by grabbing public addresses and pretending that public addresses is proof of ownership

CSW/DK had no involvement in 2008-2011
go research

..
as for a true satoshi plot
have it as a over-the-shoulder(no face) view of a guy piecing together different cypherpunk idea's and then releasing his masterpiece.
maybe the scene is him doodling on a whiteboard piecing it together (beautiful mind style)
skip to the rease and then the week later where the first transaction is made. have 2 characters getting excited that the idea actually works.
move forward to the lazlo pizza
move forward to alpaca socks
maybe feature it as a farmer that is struggling to sell his alpaca socks so comes across bitcoin and implements it. and suddenly his business gets busier
then bitcoin cupcakes.
then wallstreet
and so on

..
ofcourse stretching it out for 90 minutes would mean many social scenes explaining how different events changed things for people in a dramatic way.
so it can play out how it follows the bitcoin alpaca guy over time. evolving the storyline. could involve hal finneys slow progression of his ALS

..
but anyway the topic creator doesnt appear to know much about satoshi era facts. so i would not deem him worthy of being a project manager about satoshi era

If a movie is ever made I really think it should be about the early days of the history of bitcoin, for example it should include all of the people and the developments that led to the creation of bitcoin in the first place, then we will see all the people that collaborated with satoshi back in the day in order to improve bitcoin after its creation and obviously some part of the movie could be about the mystery of satoshi and may be even include some of the candidates for that name.

However I think it is a better idea to let traditional studios to make the movie instead of trying to raise the money for it, otherwise it is entirely possible that this could lead to many scams.

It's funny sometimes when I see what you guys consider cryptocurrency realm to be, a place to raise fund to make a movie about someone (Satoshi Nakamoto) that value his privacy and no one know the genuine story about his biography.
Wait are you trying to spread false information about him?
This is another scam strategy isn't it?

If you can make it, then crowdfunding for a movie is good. As most users mentioned, it is not a fair thing to produce/direct a movie about a person whose identity isn't known. Without perfect information about a person, taking a movie about him will surely cause some form of mistake and the same might bring negative impression over him.

At the moment Elon Musk is creating more and more positive support for the growth of cryptomarket. Maybe you can do a research and make a movie about him.

Yes.

Nobody's stopping you. Just start your crowfund, open a thread here (and maybe in reddit) and see how it goes. Reddit is a better place if you want to get more attention though. You might wanna ask the same question there too.

However, I dunno If bitcoin really needs a movie... hiring actors and stuff will be expensive too.

That bunch of emails and bitcoin talk posts is enough material for the movie... It could be a nice suspense movie where at the end just make the doubt bigger about who really is satoshi.

The hard part is to get all the information and put it together in a 2h movie. I would love to watch something like that.

Even the cypherpunk movement could be part of that movie, just think about it.

Of course Satoshi Nakamoto may be hard to show in the film because of the lack of information, but it may be a good idea to show even those that we have nowadays in different variants and left viewer with the unfinished final scene or with a mystery ending. May be someday someone will fulfil this idea you wrote about even despite nowadays it seems to be strange.

Yes it would not be the actual Satoshi -is there ever anyone by that as a real name- I think in every Bitcoin-er's head we all have this view of the whole thing, so if there is to be a movie it's shouldn't be about satoshi but rather about bitcoin, and satoshi won't be centered in the movie, so the movie can have an originality to core bitcoin lovers, there is going to be emphasis about an anonymous creator but that would just be it, I think a good production Company can see the big box office in this if it's done right, there is no point to crowd funding it.

It would be a fiction movie then, because we can only speculate about Satoshi and his daily routine developing bitcoin until his disappearence. Even the reason behind his disappearence is pure speculation.
For entertainment purposes it may be a good idea if well directed and played, but for history it wouldn't have any value.

But don't worry, sooner or later someone will come with a project like this asking for investments and promising returns later, from the movie's revenue.

I would be more interested in a documentary instead of a movie but not for the purpose of marketing.

Majority of the current breed of investors and the future buyers or users probably do not care who invented Bitcoin. Maybe they are just buying because Elon is into it. I'm sure there are also people who are interested to know his story but to use it as a marketing stunt would be a failure.

How can you make a movie about someone who nobody knows anything about?
All we have about are a bunch of emails,  bitcointalk posts  and so on.

Nobody know if he was an individual or a group of people.

I guess a movie could be about hal Finney or someone else who is known, and who interacted with him online.

Or a very talented writer could make something entirelydifferent

I think we should take bitcoin/crypto marketing to the next level and motivate all bitcoin and crypto friends to crowdfund a movie about Satoshi Nakamoto. For example, the movie biography about Steve Jobs cost about 12 million USD. So I think it's even affordable...

As main protagonists I would suggest Dave Kleiman (scott patterson) and Hal Finney (Willem Dafoe/ Sean Maguire), and a third person/satoshi (who is just unknown and whose identity is not clarified;Keanu Reeves).

Director: Danny Boyle or Steven Spielberg.
Screenplay: Aaron Sorkin
Music: Hans Zimmer.

We could do this as huge bitcoin community project and if every bitcoin/crypto friend contribute even a small amount, we would have the money tomorrow.

It would be even better if a crypto celebrity would start the call to increase the range!!
