Anthony Pompliano, an angel investor and founder of Pump Investments Fund, released a podcast this week in which his wife, Polina M. Pompliano, talks about Bitcoin, which Pump is an avid supporter of. , asked questions on a variety of topics.
That included the much-hyped documentary about the search for Satoshi Nakamoto, “Money Electric: The Satoshi Mystery,'' which was released earlier this week.
“It's better for the world not to know who Satoshi is”: Pompliano
Pompliano used Ethereum and its frontman Vitalik Buterin as an example to explain why the world should never know who Satoshi is. He explained why some people are interested in buying ETH and others are against it.
The great thing about Bitcoin is that its creator remains unknown, Pomp said, adding that if Satoshi were to be exposed, there would be negative consequences if he held certain political views or had a criminal record. He suggested that it could have consequences. As long as he remains a mystery, Bitcoin is in much better shape than other cryptocurrencies. “The world is better off not knowing who Satoshi is,” Pompliano argued. He tweeted the same thing earlier this week.
As for the documentary itself, he said the producers put together a large amount of random and haphazard evidence. Pompliano believes that if you need to watch it, it should not be taken seriously and should only be done for entertainment purposes.
Polina Pompliano claimed that many people remain interested in Satoshi's true identity. To this, Pompliano jokingly replied, “Please put your curiosity back in your head.”

He gave the example of Ethereum, the second largest cryptocurrency, and Vitalik Buterin, the central figure behind it. Pompliano said some people may lose interest in ETH after seeing Buterin dancing and singing on stage. Here, Pompliano mentioned the Token2049 blockchain event held in Singapore.
On the other hand, Pompliano said some investors are attracted to Vitalik Buterin's high IQ level.
As reported by U.Today, Samson Mo, an early Bitcoin investor featured in the HBO documentary, expressed similar views on Satoshi Today. He tweeted that Nakamoto knew that if Bitcoin was successful, “they would come after him.”
