 People can say what they want to say at the end of the day. But if you remove the fluff, this being your attitude is why you had the most popular Bitcoin podcast at an important time I believe. People can pick away at the nits and dispute the small philosophical ideas or argue whether satoshi being known is dangerous or not etc. But the facts remain: 

1. There is one way to prove the identity of the pseudonym Satoshi (cryptographically). 

2 . Bitcoin is useful.

Personally I feel satoshis identity is moot at this point, which is why every value contributing member of the Bitcoin network could be considered “satoshi”. Because at the end of the day, it’s about carrying the torch. Insert quote about the power of an idea here. As far as I am concerned if the documentary doesn’t finish on a note like this (satoshis identity doesn’t actually matter, it never did). Then it’s probably not worth watching.
