If the HBO docuseries about Satoshi Nakamoto is a setup, the timing isn’t random—it’s all about the election pump. So, who benefits? Well, HBO falls under Warner Bros., whose biggest shareholders are Vanguard Group and BlackRock. Coincidence? Probably not.
HBO, like Bloomberg, NY Times, or CNN, is just another piece of the mass media puzzle. Larry Fink, BlackRock’s CEO, is known for hyping Bitcoin on media channels and at conferences, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see the same playbook in this docuseries.
The agenda is simple: push the shareholders’ interests, likely boosting Bitcoin. Good news for insiders who bought BTC at low prices, but not so much for the average household buying in now.
Seems like a classic case of media hype benefiting the few, while the rest of us watch the prices climb.
