Topic: Satoshi Identity Revealed LOL - page 10. (Read 3950 times)

No one watches TV anymore, HBO needs to invent some new themes to attract attention

Same thought here, there is no more enticing than uncovering the mystery behind the creator of Bitcoin.  This is just an ads to promote their upcoming video.  I say this is somehow misleading people into thinking that they had uncovered the secret but yet I believe we can only see hints and insight of the producer and interviewing candidates of people who are to be satoshi. 


For exposure yes but for the economics of Bitcoin... who knows?

Who knows, maybe this can be good for Bitcoin. As they say, any publicity is good. Even if it is bad publicity, it can still bring more attention to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general.

I get what you are saying about how these Bitcoin documentaries can be overhyped.  But even so, part of me thinks this one might actually give some cool insights.  Sure, they probably won't unveil Satoshi. But learning about the early days of Bitcoin could be interesting.  Just imagining those programmers working away at this new technology kinda gets my mind going. And even if the doc ends up being overly dramatic, peeking into Bitcoins origins seems worthwhile.  Though yeah maybe Im being too optimistic here! I know how these things often turn out.

Duh, Satoshi wouldn't even ask those questions. He would already have all needed knowledge for that. He had a separate test chain with 20-bit difficulty blocks. More than that: he knew exactly, how to swap coins between different chains, in a trustless way.

And if you have that kind of knowledge, then for example you also know, how to create an altcoin in a way, where those features would be just built into the new protocol (so you wouldn't need any external tool, because you could then do the swaps directly from your wallet, without even bothering about listing your new coin on any exchange).

The only thing that sticked to my mind when I watched that trailer is that "Satoshi might be a group" which in this case, might be true.

This will be one of the many documentaries where they will try to reveal Satoshi's identity but in reality, they can't pinpoint who he/she/they will be because... they don't even know it at first place. It's also stated on that video where someone said "The more you dig deeper, the more inconsistencies you be seeing." hence, I don't think that these investigators already know who Satoshi is. Based on that trailer, they interviewed also the early contributors of Bitcoin, and I guess they don't want to speak too much about it as well, and there's a chance that it might just be a clip from an interview years ago.

Anyway, I might try to watch the whole documentary just for curiosity, but I will keep my expectations low as to revealing who Satoshi is because they will never know it.

Folks, out of respect for the people who have maintained my forum so well for so long, I want to post this here first, for the record:

I AM SATOSHI

I was literally about to post something if this topic wasn’t already made haha although I know it was published yesterday I just came across this article on the subject https://www.forexlive.com/Cryptocurrency/bitcoin-creator-satoshi-nakamoto-has-been-identified-will-be-revealed-in-a-tv-show-20241003/amp/

It looks like you found this and posted it a bit before I found and posted the same ( did a search but didn't find anything, especially anything saying "HBO", so hence didn't see your post). Anyhow, this is pretty laughable as in the 10 years that I've known of bitcoin I can't count how many times I've heard people say they know who the real satoshi is and that they are going to reveal it to the world.

Well guess what, that never happens.  Still going to watch this just because I get HBO.  Sure provide plenty of lulz.

Evidence #1

Evidence #2

Evidence #3


Case dismissed, your honour.

I first heard about the case of Len Sassaman on an Italian podcast a few years ago. I found the idea fascinating, as it coincided with my idea that :

• Satoshi is a single person
• Satoshi is dead

The search will continue to be made just to seek sensation or attention. We have seen several times that there are people who know Satoshi, and there are also people who claim to be Satoshi but it is just a fantasy. I also believe they make movies just to attract a lot of people like you said.

So HBO released a documentary about BTC and Satoshi even claimed his identity has been revealed. I think it is all clickbait and lies. There is no way it is true, and we will waste our time if we watch it because in reality Satoshi is everyone, and We are all Satoshi because bitcoin is for everyone.

Probably a bait to get more viewers and free press from everybody talking about this now.

I think HBO just want to increase their subscribers so they come out with this kind of documentary, The clip did not offer anything, so I'm sure all they're going to do is speculate on who and what Satoshi Nakamoto really is because if someone on HBO knows who or what Satoshi Nakamoto is, there's going to be a leak first, then the documentary.
I don't like documentaries because it feeds our curiosity to ask for more so they can have another sequel or another documentary, I'm sure this documentary is what they believe in on who is rather than pointing with fact who Satoshi Nakamoto is or are.
I think I'll wait for the spoiler instead of subscribing to HBO, I like Netflix better.

Not sure though but since its a documentary they might clip some old videos that could be helpful with their "show".

Too bad. It must be  Just in any case they opted and contacted you, would you cooperate in giving slight clue or details that could drive to decipher possible identity of Satoshi? Or for all time sake, bury this chance to grave for Satoshi's sake.

Im sure many here dont believe what they are trying to reveal on that documentary later on, but still some will watch to see potential lead to Satoshi. Honestly, theres a part of me wanting to know who really Satoshi cause his really great.

If ever I had one wish that is on the top of the line, to meet or knew the guy started all of great things on crypto industry.

I came across this in a media days back , I didn't even care to put more attention to it because to me seems like a way for them to drag some irrelevant attention to themselves. All I know is that Satoshi is an anonymous hero , and being anonymous make things way more exciting.

Some of the comment in that post is kinda of shitty to me , alot folks are just saying some shitty stuff on the comments section. But well let's see how things goes though, concerning Satoshi identity Revealing and stuff .

Are all of the interviews in the trailer original? I got the feeling that several of them were interviews I saw many years ago, though I could be wrong.

My current feeling on Satoshi's identity is:
 - Sassaman is a very bad candidate. If this is their conclusion, then they totally failed to do proper research.
 - 50% chance it's someone nobody's ever heard of, and nobody will ever figure it out
 - 35% chance it's Hal Finney. (Over time, I've moved more probability into this category.)
 - 10% chance it's someone else in the Bitcoin-verse
 - 5% chance it's a group within the CIA

But I'm really not a fan of the whole "search for Satoshi" genre. Being anonymous, Satoshi is an excellent myth and source of inspiration, since we can't see much of his flawed humanity. Mythical-Satoshi is a humble man who, with a lot of persistence and skill, but not with a level of brilliance beyond the reach of us mortals, single-handedly created a clockwork device so powerful that it shook the world. And then, in an action which nobody in the traditional halls of power would ever take, he had the wisdom to walk away: a modern Cincinnatus. I like that myth very much, and I'd rather it not be tainted by association with an actual human.


No, I only heard about the documentary when I read the headline on CoinDesk today.

They can be trusted by anything related to their tv series and others, but when it comes to revealing who Satoshi is, i don't think it's something that can be accomplished like that except they're acting for such role as well during any of their shows, Satoshi identity is what we should erase our minds from seeing come through, not again, we should instead be more focused on what bitcoin has to offer us and the entire people.

HBO really tryna do anything for money, ey?

As much as I don't want to support what they are doing, I am just as much interested in what kind of speculations they'll spout that hasn't already been said LOL 

It's funny though that I even say this since just last year, I was also crazy about trying to find our boy Sats Nako's real identity and only came across crazy unhinged people claiming they know who he/they are lol.
Anyways, looking forward to the Bitcoin's equivalent to a YouTube Rewind LOL

That story then does not match what can be read by some people like Gavin Andersen and other developers who claim that the last private communication with Satoshi was April 26, 2011. After Satoshi published the last message on this forum, he allegedly continued to communicate with several people exclusively privately.

If we take their claims as credible, then Len can't possibly be Satoshi - nor can Hal, who was unequivocally established to have been in public places (races) at the time when Satoshi communicated with other developers.

Its HBO, I am not surprised, they are probably going to print a lot of money from this that's why they do it, if money isn't coming out of this they won't give it a try in the first place, so expect some stupid fake news with zero proof that someone is the real Satoshi.



The real Satoshi Nakamoto might not be the only one who is a smart cryptographer like you wrote, maybe Len Sassaman is also as smart as Nakamoto? Still there is no single proof that shows that he is Nakamoto, forget the part that Len died two months later after Nakamoto posted his last message.

HBO is obviously going to print cash out of lies if truly this is all they've got.

As far as I understand, this documentary will provide further evidence that the inventor of Bitcoin, known to the world under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, was Len Sassaman. This is a fairly plausible hypothesis.

Len Sassaman was indeed a very talented cryptographer. He is also known to have been a cypherpunk and a strong advocate of anonymity and privacy on the Internet. He committed suicide at the age of 31, 2 months after Satoshi Nakamoto published his last message (on the Bitcointalk forum).

Len Sassaman's personal computer was securely encrypted, and to this day no one has access to its contents (which explains the fact that the coins mined by Satoshi Nakamoto have not moved).

I will watch this documentary with interest.
