As well as focusing on Bitcoins inventor, the show also takes a look at why Bitcoin was invented, and the impact it has had on the world as we know it today.

If you're in the UK and want something new to binge, you can watch Seeking Satoshi: The Mystery Bitcoin Creator by streaming it on Channel 4. However, if you're overseas you'll be blocked by frustrating regional restrictions. To watch the show overseas you will need to download a VPN, a simple piece of software that changes your IP making it look like you're in another country.
When choosing a VPN, it's important to make sure you find one with nodes in the UK, as you will need to access these in order to watch the documentary abroad. There's currently no information on when viewers in the US, Australia or Canada might be able to watch the show, but until then, a VPN will work fine.
Unless you're in the UK, a VPN is the only legal way to watch Seeking Satoshi, but, as is often the case with these documentaries, there's always the chance the rights will be granted to other streaming platforms, making it possible for anyone who doesn't want to use a VPN to watch it, no matter where they are in the world, but for now, you'll have to either move to the UK or settle for using a VPN.
With so many investors looking towards Bitcoin's future, its refreshing to get a look at its past, and the mystery that surrounds it.
