Apparently according to the news there is a new Movie which is going to be released in regards to Mr. SATOSHI Nakamoto. Apparently he is being tortured by NSA , kidnapped to give useful information to the government so that they can successfully destroy the cryptocurrencies.


What's bothering me is :
Meaning of decrypt


Now this is straight from Google '
Does the movie title signifies something??

Is the National security agency capable of doing something like that ? - I do think that we can be sure of since we have seen time and again that these agencies abuses power to an extent that they are hurting the people they are supposed to protect.

- Now does it mean the person who actually helped all of us in various Sectors was seriously tortured by a government agency ( seems true , I don't support hoe government works now a days ) ?

We don't know how it ended , but we should give this movie our support even though it's true/not true , I do think this would be first movie on a big scale all about Bitcoins.

Yes, they are capable of doing such nuisances.


No, it's just a movie and we should take it as a movie only! To make a movie worth watching, it has to introduce plot points, layers and suspicion elements. So take it as a movie only. I am sure it does not signifies anything to bitcoin. It may be just a prop to the protagonist.

Let's wait and watch!

there is already a thread about this movie(Provocative Film About Satoshi Nakomoto Was Funded By Cryptocurrency (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5256850.msg54653575#msg54653575)). and to be honest, after reading the story plot I won't be looking forward to watching it when the movie is released.

if you're interested in reading the story plot you can check this site https://www.substantialfilms.co.uk/decrypted-film (which is also in the thread)

At first I'm really interested to this new movie but after I saw the word 'comedy' my mood suddenly ruined. Why not action thriller/gore? Well, I just hope the movie will focus on Satoshi's character and the search for taking down the crypto and only make minimal funny moments because it was a serious matter after all :D.

I don't think the real Satoshi is in the custody of any agency simply because bitcoin continue to exist until now. And when it comes to interrogation processes, I strongly believe that they perform torturing parctices (even this is against human rights) if really necessary  in order to squeeze intelligence from a particular person. Just like what we see from movies.

Be calm, it is not an intelligence report on Satoshi or an official analysis from the US government.
The movie may affect, since people will know a lot of information wrongly, but most of them will not be fools, they will search for it and then they can know the real news from the fake, the most important thing they will know about Bitcoin.
We do not have information from independent sources about who is Satoshi.

I bet the movie is going to be a dark comedy rather than an actual portrayal of anything, if you plan on watching the movie just watch it as a popcorn movie and if you look at the movies Tom Sands helm as a director i have not seen any movies that is worth watching but his recent movie False Witness is not that bad and if he could come up with an interesting plot then i will watch that.

The producer did said that most of it's part are fictional and are for entertainment purpose. The movie revolves around satoshi and his girlfriend but he also claims to have made any reference to bitcoin as real as possible. The movie is not about bitcoin and we should take the movie as a light entertainment fiction than any research documentary.

Can apply the good or bad publicity it's still publicity. But not all people will do research and they're already good knowing information that was provided by the media and that's where they will lean on what they know. I wonder what will be the personal reaction of people related or knows the fact who satoshi is after watching this film. Well, this film makers now what exact subject they have to go if something's becoming familiar lately.

The entire script would be fictional as Satoshi is a mystery to the entire world and the only things we know about him are the posts he wrote about bitcoin and only bitcoin, only the name Satoshi will be taken in the script the rest is just fiction and hopefully we will see something interesting. If the movie is about bitcoin then we could rather call it a documentary. Lets see how Akie Kotabe portray Satoshi in the move as i have not seen in extended roles.

Adding is quite off for a movie idea like this, it could've been made more of like the Snowden, real life based movie of the most famous american whistleblower agaisnt NSA. Making it gore looks like disgusting to me, you don't see a lot of blood in a futuristic movie if it will be done that way. I suggests them to follow the story of snowden, a government organization who is after a man with their copied data, looks Satoshi's story for me too.

Can't discuss about satoshi right now, speculation is getting smaller in chances as the days have gone by, we don't even know if he is alive or not. What I believe is that the government is not after Satoshi, they can't just do nothing about him. What questions would they ask to satoshi? lol

But they put a US born Asian in the main role, so they're following the typical misconception that a pseudonym must be revealing and the founder wouldn't use it if he wasn't of Asian descent. Anyway, I won't complain anymore since it's supposed to be a comedy, not a documentary.

Well, it's somehow intriguing on how they will portray a person who is still a mystery to all of us. We're not even sure if he is Asian or not. Maybe he just used "Satoshi Nakamoto" as a screen name or for whatever reason he may have. At least that's what I thought.

Anyway, we'll just see how it'll go. It's for entertainment after all, so might as well be entertained by something we can somehow relate. Hopefully, there'll be a research documentary about Satoshi, too. It'll surely be challenging since they'll have to do some great digging about him.

I enjoy dark comedies sometimes, but the gist sounds too ridiculous to me. Information about destroying cryptos? Really? They could take a hint when Russia tried to ban Telegram or when someone tries to destroy torrents. It's not something you can destroy, and I'm sure the NSA knows that. But a comedy means that at least it won't be something seriously against cryptos like that movie "Crypto", so it might be not bad publicity for Bitcoin. If it gets positive reviews or I have nothing to watch in December, I might be interested. I'm wondering how much about the way cryptos work they'll actually take for the movie. Hopefully, there won't be any grave mistakes. The director mainly makes documentaries, so perhaps they did their research.

Why a produce/release movie about "Satoshi Nakamoto", with a story that doesn't have anything of the real events surrounding Satoshi Nakamoto, or the development of Bitcoin?

Tin-foil hats on. The movie is a socio-political attack to confuse people. The A-game Carlton Banks was talking about.

Yeah! You got a point. Making the movie gory is too much because the attention of the audience will be directed to the bloody scenes instead of the main story ;D. But I'm still hoping for some brutal scenes since torturing is already mentioned.

The idea of making it similar to Snowden is fine with me too. Though it is a little bit boring but I'm confident that many people would love it especially the computer geeks.

not even a relevant story line
bitcoin is open source. bitcoin has no secrets

yes it uses encryption for its keys. but that encryption is well known to the NSA way way way before bitcoin was a thing. so its a bit backward.

i think its going to turn out to be a silly b-movie parody trying to combine many conspiracy and social trends.. kind of like how 'scary movie' tries to be a parody of scream but has loads of other random movie sub plots added in for no good plot story bases

one of them movies hoping to get people to by tickets by covering as many trend topics as possible
#LGBT #crypto #racist #conspiracy

Well, that's surely a movie to keep an eye on for sure! I just hope they really focus the story line on real facts about Satoshi Nakamoto as he was known in this forum and not just come up with their own ideas. I can't wait to have a glimpse of this piece of creation haha.I am sure it will be launched with the sale of Bitcoin auction.

Whenever I watch movies/series  and the word Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies pops up most recent ones being The Blacklist, Queen of the South etc . They always like never talk anything good about it. It's always about Money Laundering, drugs, terrorism, hacking and heists.

You will never see them showing a business accepting BTC payments, Bitcoin's trading benefits, Bitcoin ATMS or bitcoin millionaire  ;D etc. Sometimes I think some of these movies are produced to make it look like cryptocurrencies are something so evil and the public should never have any interest in them.

And the Oscar goes to... Craig Wright for playing the amazing role of Satoshi Nakamato and claiming for years that Wright is Satoshi and still doesn't give up.

I am captivated with fact but not with the movie details. Personally, I think it would be better to have TV series, something similar of Breaking Bad but about satoshi nakamato. Cryptocurrencies with it's original stories alone won't attract a lot of people but if they make it a little bit Sci-Fi, intriguing and put their fantasies in it, then they can film amazing TV series. Plus in series they'll be able to put a lot of stories about cryptocurrencies, satoshi, bitcoin, altcoins and so on.

My quick version of plot: Imagine one man that's wanted and is hiding from government. He is hiding in his cellar and is trying to create a payment method that will be independent from governments and wants to bring more anonymity to society and get rid of excessive control from governments. He collects some people online and releases the project called - Bitcoin. Time goes and this innovation is welcomed/adopted from people. Then PC virus comes that's trying to get access on every computer that's online and this virus is trying to delete every leavings of bitcoin from computer. Along this, governments create centralized altcoin and want people to move on it and shows how secure it is and etc.

Sounds silly? Ok, but for me it sounds funny and quite interesting :D There can be some elements implemented from The Matrix franchise.

Does the team really know about Satoshi Nakamoto? Did they get permission and it is not needed to play a role as Satoshi Nakamoto? Well, this is interesting and personally I'm interested to watch this movie. However, I'm curious about the main character of SATOSHI Nakamoto. he is Japanese.

With this movie, do the people who do not know really about SATOSHI Nakamoto will really believe that he is Japanese? Will, they also believe in how the story as reflected in the movie?

However, I realize that this is actually not a kind of serious movie genre.
Is it a comedy?
Interesting

This is the reason why many people are still hesitant to touch bitcoin or crypto because of all the negative ideas that media is shoving to them. But if they are curious enough, they can always dedicate their time to study and understand the real nature of bitcoin or crypto. And if that happens, I don't think they will ever believe again what media is portraying.

Or a high-level disinformation campaign, to gaslight normies? 8)


The effect is opposite. How many people became interested in Bitcoin, and BOUGHT Bitcoin during the Silk Road/Ross Ulbricht trial?

The Satoshi Nakamoto "movie" is different, it might be an A-game troll-job/gaslighting campaign. Tin-foil hats on.

But why would NSA have been convinced that it could stop bitcoins? Decentralization is there to avoid the single point of failure. I don't understand how they could have believed to stop everything by stopping a man...

If this movie has a violence act against bitcoin creator and if the flow of the story is not good,i think it will give a negative impact to the viewers. Even though it's just a movie and let us say it was not true and the story is just imagination but we can't avoid that it will give a negative or positive effect it will have on people who watch. Hope that it will not affect on crypto currency. Or they just made this movie as intend to say that they can stop bitcoin if they want.

As for the National Security Agency, it is able to do anything you want without fear or objection from anyone But I don't think they did this to Satoshi Nakamoto As for the film, it is an imagination and we must consider it as a film only, so the film directors need events that attract viewers, and these are the events of the film, where we will see that the National Agency is torturing Satoshi Nakamoto.

There are tons of issue regarding to this behavior so what bothers you asking this?even How good they are Hiding their dirty action still it will comes out and will be revealed .

Who knows if this is true?what we are certain is their capacity to do such but at least there must be some proof before we finally trust the story because i believe that this has been in talk from long time yet still remain as story.

that is what i also though would this movie be. these people are just going to make the price drop further down. make it look like its a scam in the middle of crisis.
i'm guessing this will also be a free movie to be flashed on youtube for free and on TV that it look like its a documentary. its going to be disinformation campaign.

Sorry but what made you decide not to watch the movie once released?would you mind sharing us what made you this?

I am also worried about the affect of this movie to other crypto because it seems that Satoshi is being Grilled here and will bring hatred to people.

I think it wasnt about the man but about the contribution Satoshi might Give to their plan,and i don't think they really want to stop crypto instead they are looking how to managed and control this.

That's the image of most of the community about Satoshi Nakamoto, so they probably just go with that and hired a japanese actor. I personally don't really see it as a bad thing though as long as the protagonist make a good impression about Bitcoin.

This is kind of exciting though because considering that they hired a bunch of actors and actresses who acted from different famous movies, they certainly have a budget for this one. It's comedy so they might make some twist here and there.

That would be a great movie, there are many people who are interested with the life of Satoshi Nakamoto, we are all inspired of what he has done for the crypto community, good thing is that even though we don't know him so much, we are still able to admire him to the things he has made.

I think that movie will talk about how Satoshi Nakamoto made the successful bitcoin, it would include the process and the struggles he had faced before he made the successful bitcoin. I am so excited to watch the movies, hoping that it will be released as soon as possible.
Well said but movies are just movies, even though it is not true or just fiction, we are still interested in it because of the main characters or the content of the story.

I think because of ever growing industry of crypto, lots of interesting stuffs about it should be known and introduced to those people, who dont even think it existed. Here in our country, bitcoin is yet known but always be associated with underground or black market per se. I never tried to explain it to them, cause it will consumed my time and effort explaining everything from the start, it kinda waste my time really. What I always recommended to them is to try it researching on their own.

Well, thats so far knowing that movies will find the best plots in order to make the story very interesting. And the interesting part was that it will be as close as to the truth. Because, it is in fact well managed and research team had dug lots of information to make it interesting right? Information as to what it is supposed to be.

Well, i cannot wait to watch this movie, this is very exciting...

Actually it is very interesting, if the film about Satoshi Nakamoto is told according to real events. But unfortunately the film maker decides
make a dark comedy story that focuses on telling the NSA to catch and torture Mr. Satoshi for the sake of getting valuable information to
destroy cryptocurrency. Don't over-expect the film, if you don't want to be disappointed. In my opinion just think of this movie as entertainment.

   Shasha80 you said it, if the film is told according to real events. I think just few people know what really happen,
and there're many people who take pretend to be Satoshi, some other big names with shady past. I read the whole
article, except people who participate in the movie I didn't find anything about who wrote the story.
   This will be good movie for people who don't have connections with crypto-currencies, but for us this can be just
a marketing move by some Bitcoin billionaire! I wonder how much truth will be in the movie?!

I think no one know with satoshi nakamoto and do not know what is background and how to make his story in movie, maybe some one try looking for who is satoshi and where is come from before creating in movie diary, maybe today many people claim they are real satoshi but do not know which one is true and real satohi nakamoto.

Which actor that usually just plays super-villians will play Craig Wright?

It is funny how the portrait of Satoshi Nakamoto is Japanese.

The name really is Japanese but from the past information, he is not. I know that this is just a movie but it is just funny how they interpret it like that. I do understand that he is one of the mysteries of the internet and I think they just wanted to portrait Satoshi being tortured so they could get information to him to maybe catch another person. He is a genius.

It could be just a movie but it could also be true after all we didn't hear anything from Satoshi ever since the person vanished out of the thin air.
So we couldn't be so sure about it either it could be a work of a beautiful mind to keep us some details on what is actually happening to Satoshi or just pure plot for their movie to get us all excited.

I just wonder on how could they execute it and how they will execute the movie since we all know no one really know on what is the real story behind the life of satoshi since for the past decades his/her identity is unknown and yet maybe forever he will hide since no foot steps or any prints of his existence showing until today. but I will still watch if there's a movi e or documentary regarding on this since I'm a huge fan of it.

Everyone must understand that this is about artistic freedom, and that the film is not based on any new discoveries about the creator of Bitcoin. This is just one of hundreds or thousands of possible versions of reality, as the screenwriter, producer and director imagined it in their mind.

Also, the film will first be distributed through some "crypto video-on-demand platforms", and after that maybe movie will be available through Netflix and Amazon Prime. However, it seems to me that most viewers will be from the crypto community, because today people watch movies because of the actors who act in them or because the movies are advertised very aggressively as something you just need to see. Decrypted simply does not fall into the category of a film that will reach the broad masses.

I had remember that since the first time i enter this Forum there is a talk about that same thing ,Satoshi Nakamoto being forced by authorities to tell how they will get enter about blockchain and the tech behind this.
But after years this is still an story and now there are Movie coming out?
I am looking for this as well,Who can portray the life of CSW?

maybe Jim Carrey ???lol..

It will be boring and will not have a box office appeal if the movie will just tell us how Bitcoin was created,there, should some drama and plot and a little action to attract audiences, or it will just become a boring documentary, we have a lot of documentary about Bitcoin and Satoshi Nakamoto already onm Youtube, it's better if we have Keanu Reeves starred in that MOVIE.

So are they sending a signal that they wanted Satoshi Nakamoto and they wanted to spill the information about him and the bitcoin? Even if it is a movie they might just use this movie and they are really sending a message to him but still, it is just a movie. I hope they could also feature some of the important people behind the technology of bitcoin.

what information can SATOSHI Nakamoto provide and that information they need to destroy digital currencies?
Do they think that it is a bomb and SATOSHI Nakamoto alone knows the words that deactivate them?
The problem is when the movie writer doesn't know much information and wants to take advantage of some ready-made scenarios with little thought to make a new movie and make profits.
I will never watch such moveis

Actually, it gets better. Hollywood is so distorted, they seem to ignore the fact that. the NSA which is largely composed by the best "nerds" (that's right, you are more likely to find a math or crypto geek person in there than some spy guns blazing agent) is actually long contributor to free open source software. I think they know Bitcoin far better than whoever wrote those scripts. Heck, I'm sure they are here but can't ever reveal it due to national security yadda.

SELinux is a set of improvements to secure Linux. Its fully open anyone can audit it, just like Bitcoin. Who is behind it? Yup, the NSA.
Did the NSA recently tried to sneak some lousy backdoored algo into Linux? Yup, but the community detected it and kicked it out. Nope, you can't play games with a fully transparent community, and cryptographers know this the most: obscurity doesn't make a good crypto algorithm. Only open transparency and peer review works, just like the rest of the scientific community.

Now why would, a part of the free open source community do something this silly? Its released already, who cares who made it, could be themselves for all we care. Or, a more realistic scenario, if the author is, say, American, was simply recruited. That's something the NSA actually does, recruit brilliant minds, not kidnap them like some evil James Bond nemesis.

But meh, Hollywood noise actually helps cover their real activities. The NSA is also a helper agency, CIA, FBI, DEA, etc work together. Yes, in the name of National Security, you can be ordered to shut up and let them tap, if you are American, you have no choice. Therefore, no American company can be trusted anything for that matter. All you can do is close your company quietly once it breaks your morals, but even that can sometimes be difficult.

I feel like if this movie ever gets done, it's surely gonna be as controversial as any Jesus movie  ;D

It is about time, Mr. SATOSHI Nakamoto deserves this, Bitcoin is not just a product, it is a revolution to the entire financial world.

I am a movie lover and a cryptocurrency enthusiast, so a movie about Mr. SATOSHI Nakamoto is a welcome development. To everyone who owns cryptocurrency whether Bitcoin or alt coin,   this movie is for you.

The movie has a lot of story to tell and hopefully in the hands of a great screenwriter, it would have amazing twists and turns. The mystery behind who Mr. SATOSHI Nakamoto is could be another aspect of the movie that needs to be explored. Hopefully, he reveals himself soonest.

It's obviously just fiction, as Nick Szabo is still alive and well ;)

Of course, I support this movie. I would like to see it and it would be very popular for Bitcoin. The plots of the films are always mixed with mystery and lots of action to make them more interesting.

I am curious to know why the creators of this movie chose Satoshi Nakamoto as the central theme.
 

I don't think he will reveal himself just for this movie. Let's just accept the fact that he will not reveal his identity to the community. A lifetime mystery for bitcoin. Interested to see this movie as well as the last crypto-related movie that I've seen - Crypto, didn't justify its title. Maybe we will see more of what bitcoin is all about here in this new movie. I hope they will stay more on the facts available and not be too fiction about crypto.

There is no doubt about the revolution in the financial sector after a century and Satoshi deserves more recognition and acclaim but the problem remains that the person behind the moniker is still a mystery and if you start writing a script about someone who is literally a ghost you cannot expect anything substantial. So enjoy the movie as it is and nothing more.

It is going to be a fantasy story and nothing else.
