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. More than a decade after Satoshi's disappearance, Bitcoin now threatens to disrupt the global financial order, forcing nations to reconsider the very nature of money as Satoshi potentially stands to become the richest person on earth. Known for uncovering clandestine subcultures and movements through digital forensics, Hoback immerses himself with key players, uncovers never-before-seen clues, and humorously unravels Bitcoin's chaotic origins and meteoric rise. MONEY ELECTRIC offers a thrilling, globe-spanning investigation into the intentions of Bitcoin's enigmatic inventor, as Hoback encounters those who could be Satoshi, seeking to reveal who holds the power -- and what they might do with it if Bitcoin were woven into our daily lives.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/29/24 Full Review Natalia S Before watching, I only had a vague understanding of Bitcoin and mining, and I never imagined the scale and complexity of this network. The film does an excellent job of explaining how the system functions and raises important questions about who truly holds power in this digital world. It was fascinating to learn how digital currency operates outside the traditional banking system. The film makes the topic accessible even to those unfamiliar with technology. I gained an understanding of the essence of cryptocurrency. But I became even more curious about who is behind it all. Could one person or a relatively small group of like-minded individuals overturn the entire financial structure of the world in an instant? What are they striving for, and what ideas do they pursue? Highly recommended for anyone interested in understanding the digital currency revolution, regardless of their technical background. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review Valerii Ege D I just wanted to learn a little bit more about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, especially the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto. I learned about Bitcoin's history, but overall, it is a boring documentary. Particularly the last 30 minutes were really boring and a bit unnecessary. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review P N This documentary was based on speculation rather than any solid proof. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Brent K 10/10. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I've been crypto & bitcoin curious for about 7 years— this film excels at telling the story of its origins and the mystery of Satoshi (Bitcoin's "founder"). My opinion is that there are a LOT of bitcoin fans/cultists who *want* Satoshi to remain unidentified, but I think Hoback is correct to raise the question : What happens if Satoshi were to cash out and become, suddenly, the world's richest person? My only complaint is that I wish it were longer (a full season, like The Tiger King), as there's so much more here to explore and uncover. Still, it's the best documentary on Bitcoin I've ever seen.
