 Just watched the whole thing. It's great until it goes off the rails in the last fifteen minutes. I think it's Roger Ver and Amir Taaki that sent the documentary maker chasing a ghost. They made RBF seem important, even suspecting it to be a government sabotage effort. This glorifies @pkt's image in his head, which Peter then openly exploited - while being very honest about doing so.

The bigger meta mistake the documentary maker made was to seek out people who enjoy being on TV. If he'd contacted experts in a more systematic way they would have ruined the plot. But this is more fun for everyone. nostr:note1w0679347vjl0sjny793aahr3k7cxzxjklrzqdd82dfatfe64m2rq97nkww 
 He also made the mistake of thinking that particular comment was "super technical". Sure, it requires someone to paid attention to digital cash and Bitcoin for a while. But it doesn't require having implemented all of Bitcoin. 
 Blocksize War book for bitcoiners 

HBO and entertainment for normies✅ 
 Plenty of inside jokes in that documentary though, so it's certainly entertainment for bitcoiners.
