This episode will come out in a few weeks.

But it was this sweeping investigation, yet another sweeping investigation into the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin.

And I'm not even interested in talking about who Satoshi is.

Me either, actually.

I haven't cared about that for a really long time.

But this piece came out and I knew we were talking.

And I'm just so curious about your impressions of this sort of like mythology experience.

And online fascination and almost sort of obsession with this like mythical figure, this magician, this wizard who created Bitcoin and sort of catalyzed this entire movement that we're now talking about.

What are your thoughts on that?

Sort of like why does that exist and how does it feed into what you're sort of getting at around cryptocurrency today?

I will admit, I mean, I love a long story.

I did finally at one point was like, oh, I gotta just scroll to the end.

Like, did they get the guy?

And yet again...

We are not sort of like dead to rights, it's this guy.

He's not like, yes, you got me, it's me.

And I would imagine that whoever it is, it is advantageous for that person, if they are still alive, to retain that sort of mysterious, mythical air about them, right?

Because as you said, as soon as everybody knows who you are and it's you, that sort of like veil of mystery and the sense of like nobility and a noble cause is...

or at least starts to dissipate.

I mean, what do we know about Adam Back?
