Upcoming HBO documentary claims to identify Satoshi Nakamoto identity

[ABCbits]

Some of you probably have heard about this news. HBO claim they've discovered identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. And while their documentary isn't released yet, people on Polymarket mainly bet Len Sassaman as name that'll be revealed on it. I wouldn't bother watch their documentary, but what do you think about upcoming HBO documentary?

What I am expecting is that Satoshi Nakamoto will not be revealed because they can not know who Satoshi is or are.

They will most likely only come with guesses conclusion or their conclusion will be very fake from reality or fake to what that have happened in the past. It is just 4 days from now for them to disappoint people with their conclusion.

You'll see a lot of clips posted on social media after it's released anyway.

This must be the big reveal posts that I've seen. I think it's a money making documentary. At this point, it doesn't really matter if he's identified or not because Bitcoin is beyond him now.

I believe it's just a flashy title in the end, since if they had found out, this information would have been revealed
I think in the end they'll reveal something more generic that we all know so far, that it could be several people, and we'll continue with the same opinion so far haha

Everyone's curiosity has certainly been aroused, so the strategy has already worked

There is no possible way for this to be true at all, and I mean not even %1 chance, there isn't even a lottery chance, they did not and will not. You know why I know? Because there are 100 million and more people in crypto world, and he is one of the biggest mysteries of all time, and from big government agencies like FBI and CIA and Mossad to KGB, they are all looking for him but also all these people are looking for him as well. So eventually one of them would have found already, and this documentary doesn't have people that are brighter and smarter than this 100+ million plus all agencies combined.

Well, we've been discussing Satoshi identity for years but we've only gained more insight into Satoshi's grand vision rather than uncovering his true identity. I don't believe HBO can shed any light on this even if they can create a compelling conspiracy theory.

The crypto community also has many hypotheses but each hypothesis has flaws that make it completely unreliable. I'll wait for the film reviews to see the artistic perspective on the mystery of Satoshi, at least it will help crypto reach potential investors through popular art.

I am not so sure if this coming documentary can definitely 100% identify the real Satoshi Nakamoto. There is now a strong interest and speculation that Len Sassaman will be the name to be revealed by this documentary...and they can come up of some basis why this dead man can be the ONE we are looking for. Unfortunately, the man is dead since 2011 so it would be hard to confirm if he really invented Bitcoin. Now, am quite sure this will not be the last attempt to unmask the Bitcoin founder but nothing will stop the speculation. The only thing that is so clear with me is that I am not the one who made Bitcoin.

yup it is all just a clickbait title and prospect of course people will click on it thinking they will finally have an answer but in the end there will be nothing i would like to check it out tho just to check for inaccuracies hopefully there aren’t much because a well made documentary can help educate much people but if the show is just full of misinformation then well nothing much we can do

[Baofeng]

I'm still going to be watching it do, I have to check Netflix if it has been rolled already in Asia.

Although I will obviously very skeptic about the whole documentary and maybe caught some mistakes about it. We have been chasing the shadow of Satoshi for many years and up to know, no one has claim or no one says definitively that they have found the creator of Bitcoin.

You're probably right. It's safer rather than choosing someone with weak proof or choosing controversial feature (such as faketoshi).

It's HBO exclusive for now. Which is why some people (on different website) also speculate it's HBO tactic to make people subscribe to their service.

[Jating]

I don't know, but for me, I might not watch it at all. I have been in the crypto and Bitcoin for at least 8 years and so far no one, not even FBI has come up to claim that they indeed identified Satoshi.

And we all know that there are a lot of personalities in the past that everyone has suspected to be Satoshi. But up to this day, majority of us believed that Satoshi will not be found, unless someone had signed a message on a supposedly old Satoshi address.

[robelneo]

This is another hype on finding Satoshi Nakamoto that happened 5 or six years ago, and now they want another hype and HBO wants this maybe to increase their subscription base or whatever but this is interesting not because they may have found the real Satoshi Nakamoto but what theory they are going to offer this time, maybe its somethign new that will generate interest and lets see if the Satoshi version that they've found will admit that he is the real Nakamoto.

This is a bunch of bad propaganda and trying to sell this documentary to more people before release day, and I think they managed to do it.
I am not expecting from them to say anything new that we already don't know, just a bunch of speculations and interviews.
Bottom line is - they don't know who Satoshi is.

Here is the trailer for anyone who didn't see it already:

[Rami]

I guess we’ll finally find out if Satoshi is a genius coder or just a really good magician! 🎩✨ If it turns out to be Len Sassaman, I hope he’s ready for a lifetime of “Are you Satoshi?” questions at every family gathering!

[Freemind]

Many people, governments, security agencies and more have searched and continue to search for the real Satoshi, and have never found him. It seems an insult to me, and very coincidental, that HBO, a payment platform, knows who Satoshi is and is going to reveal it to the world. theymos, the person who may have more information on this matter, made it very clear in a post on BitcoinTalk.

Satoshi Identity Revealed LOL

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.

I think the documentary that HBO will premiere on October 8 is just smoke.

@_act_ I deleted the new thread, thanks for sending me to this thread, I hadn't seen it.
