My initial impressions of HBO’s Money Electric:
I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
It was obviously well researched, but slanted.
Cullen Hoback is a talented storyteller, but he didn’t overcome the burden of proof.
The movie portrayed CBDCs and their supporters accurately, and hopefully one of the big takeaways for the audience is how dangerous they are for privacy and freedom.
A lot of what passes for bitcoin maximalism is fiat maximalist cringe.
If Peter Todd actually did create Satoshi Nakamoto, I still doubt he could have acted alone. Bitcoin has always been and will always be the combined work of many people.
If Satoshi coins were never burned, there’s no way they can ever be spent now without revealing the owner’s true identity, making them the biggest target on the planet.
Even so, it would not kill bitcoin. But it could get someone killed.
I still need more time to process it, so I might have different thoughts on this film in the light of day.
