The HBO program will uncover the name of the founder of Bitcoin.

The person responsible for creating the digital money will be made clear in the documentary “Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery,” which is directed by Cullen Hoback.

Hoback will traverse the globe in the HBO documentary, which premieres on Max on October 8, in an attempt to identify the enigmatic figure behind the money.

“In Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery, intrepid filmmaker Cullen Hoback dives into one of the most enduring and high-stakes mysteries in technology and finance: the origins of Bitcoin and the identity of its anonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto,” according to the subtitle of the documentary.

“Bitcoin today poses a challenge to the global financial system, prompting countries to reevaluate the fundamental nature of money as Satoshi might become the richest person on the planet, more than 10 years after his absence. Known for using digital forensics to unearth covert movements and subcultures, Hoback playfully reveals Bitcoin’s wild beginnings and quick ascent while immersing himself with important figures and unearthing never-before-seen hints. Hoback meets people who might be Satoshi in Money Electric, which presents an exciting, global inquiry into the motivations of the mysterious creator of Bitcoin. The goal is to uncover who is in charge and what they might accomplish with Bitcoin if it were integrated into everyday life.

Hoback is well-known for his in-depth investigative films. In the 2021 movie “Q: Into the Storm,” he examined the QAnon conspiracy theory.

Investigating a chemical spill that “spirals into an indictment of the entire system meant to protect drinking water, revealing cover-ups at the highest levels of government,” he published “What Lies Upstream” in 2017.

Noteworthy among the people who have been credited with creating Bitcoin over the years are software engineer Hal Finney, computer scientist Nick Szabo, and Australian cryptographer Craig Wright.

But as of yet, nobody has been able to provide solid evidence to support their assertion that they have discovered Satoshi Nakamoto’s genuine identity.
