Yeah, David, there's a good question.
I think it was serendipity as much as anything, really.
I mean, you've been very kind about your compliments about the film, which I really much appreciated.
I think one of the reasons it works is because neither Tyler nor I had any agenda when we started this, and I don't think, frankly, knew all that much
about how, you know, Bitcoin really worked.
And so it was kind of a, you know, investigative journalistic mission, you know, trying to sponge up as much as we could along the way.
And what you may not fully appreciate is that I probably worked on this for, and I was just minding my own business working on another book.
When I got called by the producer and the director, would I be interested in being part of the film as like the interviewer and trying to speak to as many people as I could who could help us answer the question of who Satoshi was and what you may not appreciate because it's only...
hinted at sort of at the beginning, is that for like a year and a half, I spent, you know, I was interviewing people all over the country, you know, during COVID, you know, who are like the OG Bitcoin people or the OG cryptocurrency folks, you know, the Michael Saylors of the worlds and the Joe Lubbins, etc.,
who we thought initially, because what else are you going to think, would know or have some idea or would have a lead about who Satoshi might be or some thoughts or whatever.
And it turned out, much to our surprise...
that these people really either didn't want to talk about who Satoshi was, didn't really care who Satoshi was.
Like, as Michael Saylor said, you know, Prometheus showed up with fire and gave it to us.
Who do we care who Prometheus was or who actually created fire?
I mean...
Who cares about who created the Internet or the combustion engine or the cotton gin?
I mean, you know, it's here.
We can use it.
We can do what we want with it.
We can invest in it.
