Satoshi Identity Revealed LOL

[NotATether]

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.

The problem with these kind of shows is that it doesn't matter if you state the facts, everybody who watches the documentary is going to believe it's true because that's what they said. Wikipedia is going to write it, because it came from an 'authoritative source' (i.e. someone with a lot of traffic). Every news source is going to quote HBO whenever they write an article about Satoshi.

Now there are going to be a lot of flying monkeys coming here to ask about Len Sassaman like this deleted r/Bitcoin post.

Potential list from ChatGPT searches that might HBO will turn into when the show started. But seriously as per

Dorian Nakamoto Satoshi
Nick Szabo
Hal Finney
Craig wright
Wei Dai
Adam Back
Paul Le Roux
Gavin Andresen
Neil King, Vladimir Oksman and Charles Bry
Elon Musk

How did a LLM manage to come up with an even dumber candidate (Elon) than CSW?

Bitcoin market can be wild after the movie is fully on air. Some will feel exciting, and some will feel fearful of market dump.
I expect some news like the founder of Bitcoin was identified, and Bitcoin will face with uncertain future with more challenge from governments. I am not making fud here and just speculate types of news will be released after the movie launch.

People can behave in very strange ways and this happens constantly - but in this particular case there is no reason to be excited or to panic - because if the documentary in its conclusion announces that they think that the man who has been dead since the middle of 2011 could be Satoshi, then it is not should have no effect on the price of BTC.

If Satoshi is dead, then we don't need to worry about those famous million BTC that he saved in his wallet on the computer where the data is encrypted (if the computer even exists anymore). I think that news like this can be interesting only to children who want to solve mysteries, for the rest of us mysteries exist for a reason, right Mr. Satoshi?

At the point we are at, even if Satoshi were to reveal his identity and sign messages with his addresses,
many people are likely to remain skeptical.
Satoshi has become a philosophy. Satoshi's actual identity is less important than the principles
and technology he left behind. The essence of Bitcoin and its continued success is due to the community of developers,
users, and enthusiasts who believe in his philosophy of decentralization and financial autonomy. Satoshi's identity
is no longer as relevant as what Bitcoin stands for and how it has evolved.
Even if Satoshi were to come back, with other ideals, to preach unpopular things, such as supporting BCH, it would not have to
affect today's Bitcoin, because "you can kill the messenger but not the message."

I agree with you, yes Satoshi has become a philosophy and a symbol, and it does not matter whether Satoshi is alive or dead, the important thing is that he remains anonymous. This legendary symbolism of Satoshi is one of the strengths of Bitcoin.

If the real Satoshi appears and proves with all the evidence that he is really him, many people will not believe him because they loved the legend, and the appearance of the real Satoshi will lose the beauty of the legend and Bitcoin will lose its attractiveness and luster.

Hmm, I'm late, looks like many things were happening in the absence on the forum, anyway, we'll catch up on them later but Stoshi's new version is out now let's have a look into that first. Honestly, this is one of the most over-rated and recurrent topic ever.

If his revelation can blow up the market ever I'm interested but if it doesn't who cares but I just Love him! Internet is down again here from 2 days and it sucks I want to see him live on Stream.

I guess they’ve gotten what they wanted within few hours, I will love to view the documentary besides I want to see the outcome of the story behind bitcoin but, I don’t believe about Satoshi real identity. This has been for long even if I don’t know much I still see few post trying to claim and reveal Satoshi real identity and they never succeeded  in doing that, what’s more surprising they get more streams and viewers whenever such topic is treated due to bitcoin popularity. Let’s imagine all this is real what’s the point showing up now? Just curious to know why satoshi will want to come openly meanwhile I still don’t believe.

You all realize if satoshi is ever revealed it will make it go to zero.
The guy will be tossed in jail.
Look what happened to assange for example of governments not wanting any opponent when it comes to their own laws.
Anyone who goes against the system have been put in their place and dealt with.

This documentary will not tell his identity or else he would already be in handcuffs for some outlandish reason.
Whatever governments holding power wants to make up so to keep their fancy world running.

Wise words! I think that the revelation that Satoshi Nakamoto is not the real founder at least the videos that are resurfacing that he is Satoshi Nakamoto may be a person with that name but the Satoshi Nakamoto that we know is an Icon and not a person for many of us that is a very fond and likely enthusiast with Bitcoin we see the name Satoshi Nakamoto as a figure of Liberation and Freedom,

I agree that the words of the man in the video Satoshi Nakamoto are not really worth it, even if the real Satoshi Nakamoto comes to the limelight I really think that Bitcoin will still reign Supreme in the Crypto world it has given us financial autonomy, and Stability with each passing years it becomes something more that the government wants to control.

I don't believe that Satoshi's identity will ever be known, but i disagree with you that if Satoshi is revealed BTC will go to zero, yeah there would be a lot of panic, people would think that since he mined so many coins in the early days, he is about to dump it, this panic will make BTC price to plunge severely, but never to zero. Just like every other fud, it will settle down after sometime and the price will gradually pump again.
