Topic: What has been more hyped than the HBO Doc? (Read 85 times)
Stirring up controversy in this way and reaching this result makes me unwilling to watch the documentary. They are looking for profits more than it is historical documentation or a narration of some facts, and therefore all the information contained in the documentary is questionable.

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.

I don't know X users have same candidates like ones shared by theymos.
Several topics on this HBO's documentary film.
Satoshi Identity Revealed LOL
Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery (2024 documentary)
Could this just be the "LAMEST" News?
I don’t get why people are so hyped about that documentary. The whole “revealing Satoshi” thing is already misleading. Satoshi will stay anonymous, and there’s no reason for him to come forward. HBO is just trying to ride the Bitcoin hype, like they always do. It’s surprising that some people still fall for it.
HBO just brought Peter Todd into the spotlight, and he might have to need private security to move around because he is now a big target for criminals. If I were in his shoes, the next step would be to sue the producers of the documentary for telling lies and exposing me to danger.
I support this, I guessed he should warn HBO now that if he or his love ones suffers any criminal attacks in regarding this claim, then they should be ready to pay for the damages and every stress they will cause them also. There have been others who have been victims of this, which is very disturbing to their personal life, HBO only got good marketing but empty proof, though I hope he sue them for this, then it will become a lesson for others not to wide their mouth for nothing.
I have not seen the documentary yet but from the reactions on social media it appears to have been a dud. The filmmakers were probably just looking to make a quick buck and created a narrative that was convincing enough for a major platform, like HBO, to give them a lot of money. The speculation on Satoshi’s identity has become a sideshow. The whole Craig Wright saga was such an embarrassment and now people are just picking names at random. People are taking advantage of genuine curiosity for their personal financial gain. It is no longer interesting and we should completely ignore this nonsense from now on.

What has been more Hyped than the HBO doc?
That would be the Fiat system.
I'm a very curious person but the documentary never piqued my interest
Even if they wanted to speculate, I believe they could have done better with their marketing strategy and their reveal.

It was hyped simply because it's HBO. HBO had the funds to make a very interesting and high-production-value documentary with good marketing. This is to be expected, as with having a lack of research and instead just focused on making the documentary look enticing.

We all knew that it was just going to be a theory and that they will not have an answer for sure. Notice how it is deliberate they say that it is 'likely' for Satoshi to be Peter Todd. They did not claim that that is 100% true. I have not watched the documentary but I will definitely check it out even if I already know that at the end of it, they just presented us with more questions and less answers.As their Pick wrote on X " I AM NOT SATOSHI".

There was just too much hype about the documentary, and the market didn't react to its release as some gurus anticipated.
There was hype because they made it seem like they actually found the real Satoshi. Thankfully they did not create some blatant lie to sell the documentary. It would have affected the market more if they actually had a breakthrough but so far from what I have seen, they do not seem to have presented something no one knows yet. It is kind of funny that Peter Todd denied immediately the accusations making the documentary almost pointless.

The documentary brought more questions than answers. How can you depend on someone's reply to a post as a basis or main evidence for your conclusion? There was not even one compelling evidence that Peter Todd is Satoshi. Just because he claimed to be knowledgeable about C++ and made an erroneous post doesn't make the dude Satoshi. Everyone knows the litmus test to prove who Satoshi is: The private keys to his wallet. I hope Cullen Hoback achieved his aim of making the documentary which is to make money.
