Documentary 'Finding Satoshi' will investigate the origins of Satoshi Nakamoto

[famososMuertos]

The documentary genre has lost its objective in the abuse of exploiting the stories rather than the art of documenting the truth, suspicion or simple facts in a short film.

^{Obviously they are not all filmmakers and producers, fortunately the genre still maintains quality.}

If none of that exists, it is fiction, although they intend to call it documentary, I am sure that one of the main sources consulted, which is this forum, will have no credits, it is impossible to make a documentary about Satoshi and not refer to the forum and add that there are characters ( nick-users) active in this forum that could well provide testimonials and if there is not, at least add as is done in any documentary that certain sources were consulted but no answers were obtained.

I think you have to change "investigate" by script in this case.

Why should we care about who satoshi is today?

Maybe the real identity of Satoshi is not important to you but I'll say unraveling Satoshi will be a great achievement for anyone that succeeded. The researcher (if successful) will just be as famous as Bitcoin and Satoshi, it will also be good for record purposes.
Although many here doubt the motivation of the documentary but I'll give the researcher a chance as any new discovery will be definitely useful.

I am not sure if they can reveal the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto since there are no original digital tracing about what he/she/they did before. Even Satoshi is not used social media, although, in 2009, we know that Facebook and Friendster are got attention from people to share many things and as the popularity of social media at that time.

It is hard work for them to contact many people who already communicate with Satoshi and ask many things about Satoshi. Those people really do not know who Satoshi Nakamoto is. I am afraid that they can stir up the whole story and use someone to blow up that person as the real Satoshi and lie to the public about the truth.

But I am curious what will they make with that movie.

I think I also commented before on one of these satoshi threads that actually yes, his identity and locating him or at least shedding light on his whereabouts, this is actually important but only for a sociologist and anthropologist (or crypto anthropology anyway). We cannot deny the value of finding him in this context.

But as to Bitcoin itself, the development and future, of course, Satoshi is now irrelevant.

People make research and try to use satoshi name to make fancy stories. It can help them to grow their groups, channels and so on. I don't get in other reasons to find satoshi, if I am not government.

As member of Bitcoin community, I would like to see identity of satoshi being anonymous forever. It is good and best for Bitcoin and for all.

If satoshi is found, Bitcoin will lose its King position in crypto. Bitcoin is an icon and legendary cryptocurrency because of its anonymous founder.

Agree. In my opinion, Bitcoin's anonymous identity is the same as in the case of his identity. Because it is extremely difficult to track down or discover the person of interest, I believe he/she has put in a lot of effort to prepare. I believe this documentary will be interesting to watch to see who is the person of interest. I also believe it is safer to keep Satoshi's true identity hidden for security reasons, especially since this is the first time we have heard of him/her. I believe it is best to stick with the Satoshi being anonymous.

I'm wondering about this documentary actually bringing some new facts and information on the table.
Most likely,the documentary is going to repeat all the info about Satoshi that we already know and spice it up with some conspiracy theories about "Who created Bitcoin?" The crowd loves conspiracy theories...
The producers of this documentary want to capitalize on the increased interest over Bitcoin/blockchain technology.They want viewers and money,they don't want the truth.That's the main problem with "documentaries" like this one.

[kryptqnick]

I think it's a lost cause to look for Satoshi, honestly. I truly don't believe that a documentary can come to the true answer and reveal Satoshi's true identity. I also think it's kind of a wrong thing to do to look for Satoshi and reveal this person in a movie because Satoshi clearly didn't want to be found (unless it's Craig Wright, lol), and this wish should be respected. But what's good is that the movie will bring even more publicity to Bitcoin, Blockchain, and perhaps remind of some key historic events. But I highly doubt there'll be anything new here. At best, they'll summarize all the previous major investigations.

The name Satoshi Nakamoto really makes other people curious about his/her existence and badly want to know why did he/she vanished. We don't even really know for sure if it's a group of people behind that name. Let's just appreciate his/her/their works and respect what they want rather than disturbing them at all. People really wants privacy so why don't these people accept the fact that neither can uncover who he/she/they are. Let them enjoy and rest at peace guys, we will know if he/she/they will starts to move again or decides to unveil the identity.

I only quoted the writers.

I personally think Satoshi's identity is good the way it is now, anonymous and with no new leads and I also agree it's good and best for Bitcoin, but I still think regardless of what developments happen, it is entirely irrelevant. Look at CW right now celebrating his victory despite being asked to award damages. Even if some lawyer or some court believes he is satoshi, that is not relevant to Bitcoin.

I've no idea what you're trying to say actually... but if I was to be interested in Satoshi I would have to read 100s of emails and documentaries and books. And be nowhere different in terms of what I know. As I said above, this is purely an interest for history and anthropology, but has zero impact on Bitcoin itself.

I doubt they would be able to keep this kind of news under wraps as the primary investigations are probably done by this point and the footage will more or less be a follow-up on those investigations. It will probably follow through with some possible suspects with some drama thrown in. Still a good watch IMHO.

I don't think it's true because before any documentary is being made, we already know the truth behind it that there is no conclusion on what they are seeking because until now, the only information we know about Satoshi is the info he left public long ago and that was the last clue we have and we don't hear anything anymore from him. As for the new claim that new information is being attributed to him these days, that's all hoax or probably someone wanted to steal his identity again by the false claim of other impostors.

[Zilon]

Hope this doesn't give rise to impersonators and imposters at the end and I just wonder why care much about satoshi's identity. All we need to do more of is study the technology and it's growth in recent years and forget about unraveling the identity of Bitcoin because scammers will love to sieze the opportunity for their malicious attacks
