Finding Satoshi: Did A New Documentary Finally Unmask Nakamoto?

About this episode

This episode explores the investigation behind the documentary 'Finding Satoshi' and the quest to unmask Bitcoin's creator.

Bitcoin's origin story is the greatest unsolved mystery in financial history and the team behind Finding Satoshi spent years doing what dozens of others couldn't: actually closing in on an answer. In this episode of Gen C, Sam sits down with documentary director Tucker Tooley, investigative journalist Bill Cohen, and private investigator Tyler Maroney to break down a multi-year investigation rooted in real methodology — cryptographers whispering names, blockchain data analysis, and years of trust-building with the cypherpunk community.
