Overview

The identity of Bitcoin's creator, long shrouded in mystery, is the focus of a new documentary that argues Satoshi Nakamoto was actually two people: the late cryptographer Hal Finney and Len Sassaman. This theory challenges the conventional view of a single creator and has sparked renewed interest in Bitcoin's origins. The documentary has received public support from Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, who praised it as the best exploration of Satoshi's identity so far.
