What this 'documentary' has really done is expose the hero worship in the btc community as well as how easy it is to get people who claim to be soooo awake to waste a couple hours of their time on mindless entertainment plus promote the shit out of a Hollywierd production. So easy to pull some people back into the Matrix

Last night, HBO published a documentary that claims to reveal the identity of Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.

We believe this narrative goes against the very ethos of Bitcoin and strongly oppose this kind of sensationalism.

Speculating on Satoshi’s identity isn’t just unnecessary; it’s irresponsible and dangerous.

The power of Bitcoin lies in its design, and Satoshi’s anonymity has been essential in allowing Bitcoin to grow free from individual influence.

This isn’t a flaw—it’s one of Bitcoin’s greatest strengths.

Knowing who Satoshi is wouldn’t contribute anything positive to Bitcoin; instead, it would create a target, invite unnecessary attention, and compromise the principles on which Bitcoin was founded.

We discourage this type of speculative behavior and urge everyone to respect Satoshi’s choice to remain anonymous.

Let’s focus on advancing Bitcoin for a freer future, and honor the decisions that have allowed it to flourish.
