Pseudonymity is and has always been a key feature of the Bitcoin privacy model.
This should apply to your own pubkey and identity as well as Satoshi's. If Satoshi had wanted to reveal his identity, he would have done so. It is a matter of decency to respect this.
I am so tired of this KYC mentality, which is also inherent in the documentary.

quoting note15v6…c4eyLast night, HBO published a documentary that claims to reveal the identity of Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.
We believe this narrative goes against the very ethos of Bitcoin and strongly oppose this kind of sensationalism.
Speculating on Satoshi’s identity isn’t just unnecessary; it’s irresponsible and dangerous.
The power of Bitcoin lies in its design, and Satoshi’s anonymity has been essential in allowing Bitcoin to grow free from individual influence.
This isn’t a flaw—it’s one of Bitcoin’s greatest strengths.
Knowing who Satoshi is wouldn’t contribute anything positive to Bitcoin; instead, it would create a target, invite unnecessary attention, and compromise the principles on which Bitcoin was founded.
We discourage this type of speculative behavior and urge everyone to respect Satoshi’s choice to remain anonymous.
Let’s focus on advancing Bitcoin for a freer future, and honor the decisions that have allowed it to flourish.
