Next Tuesday HBO will release a documentary titled “Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery”, through its platform MAXwhich will seek to resolve one of the biggest unknowns of the digital age: the identity behind Satoshi Nakamotothe creator of Bitcoin.
This is the pseudonym used by the developer or group behind Bitcoin, the most important cryptocurrency in the world. Currently, it has a value of US$61,780 and a market capitalization of US$1.22 trillion, according to Bitso.
Nakamoto separated in 2011 from the mining network launched in 2009and left a large amount of BTCs unspent, and its value would amount to US$60 billion.
HBO released the trailer for the documentary this Thursday through its social networks, in which they showed that the production has the participation of the cryptographer Adam Backone of Nakamoto’s close collaborators.
But another interesting fact about the progress is a nod to Argentina, which is one of the countries with the greatest growth in cryptocurrencies worldwide, and specifically in the region. According to a report from the Lemon exchange, 40% of the 55 million people who use crypto wallets in Latin America are Argentine.
This detail can be seen at minute 2:19, where you can see a person counting $1000 bills. This could suggest that the team investigated in Argentina, or that even the creator of Bitcoin could be or, Why not, be a native of our country.
