Cullen Hoback is airing a new Bitcoin-based documentary on HBO
Cullen Hoback, the filmmaker known for his investigative HBO series “Q: Into the Storm,” has hinted at uncovering one of the most elusive mysteries of the digital age: the identity of Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. His new documentary, titled “Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery,” is set to air on HBO on October 8 at 9 p.m. EST, and the buzz around it suggests it may offer new insights into the origins of the world’s first cryptocurrency.

Hoback made headlines with his previous work, where he delved into the QAnon conspiracy and claimed to have identified some of its key figures. Now, in his latest project, he turns his attention to Bitcoin and its mysterious founder. Nakamoto, who invented Bitcoin and then seemingly vanished in 2010, has been a subject of fascination and speculation for years. The documentary teases the possibility of revealing who Nakamoto really is—whether it’s a single individual, a group, or someone overlooked in past investigations.
While Hoback’s social media posts and the film’s trailer stop short of definitively claiming Nakamoto’s identity will be revealed, they suggest the film will offer a thrilling exploration of the Bitcoin enigma. The trailer hints at a “rollercoaster” of revelations, promising viewers a deep dive into the mystery that has captivated the cryptocurrency world.
The search for Nakamoto’s identity has intrigued many, including government agencies like the FBI, which has kept its findings under wraps. Over the years, figures like Craig Wright have claimed to be Nakamoto but later retracted their statements. Whether “Money Electric” brings any concrete answers remains to be seen, but the implications of such a discovery could have a far-reaching impact on the financial world.
