Could we crowdfund a movie about Satoshi Nakamoto?

[Coinsfera]

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

[NeuroticFish]

if every bitcoin/crypto friend contribute even a small amount, we would have the money tomorrow.

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.

[Darker45]

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.

[kopijos]

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.

How can you make a movie about someone who nobody knows anything 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!

[LUCKMCFLY]

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.

[AniviaBtc]

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.

[ethereumhunter]

We don't know enough to make a movie about Satoshi.

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.

[Anonylz]

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

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.

[Innerpumper]

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.

[btc78]

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!!

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?

[isaac_clarke22]

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.

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 .

[Questat]

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://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3

[dkbit98]

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.

[Vishnu.Reang]

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 $$$.

[4Y078]

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

An outrageous and provocative dark comedy about a mismatched NSA team who kidnap the creator of Bitcoin - Satoshi Nakamoto - and attempt to torture him for the information they need to destroy cryptocurrencies.

[Mr.right85]

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.

[molsewid]

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.

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.

[bekti3]

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 !!!
