An upcoming HBO documentary "Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery" aims to reveal the true identity of the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto.
Nakamoto, the famously anonymous inventor of Bitcoin, apparently vanished in December 2010. Estimates are that if Nakamoto is still around, the Bitcoin creator could control as much as 1.1 million bitcoin, currently worth about $67 billion, at least on paper.
The documentary, entitled "Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery" and out next Wednesday, Oct. 9, was created by Cullen Hoback, the director of "Q: Into the Storm," the docu-series that exposed those behind the QAnon conspiracy theory.

Sonic Labs is planning a ~200 million S airdrop
Deflationary Mechanism Explained
As part of the initial distribution, recipients receive 25% of their allocated S tokens immediately upon the airdrop claim date. The remaining 75% is locked in a vesting schedule over 9 months in the form of ERC-1155 tokens (fungible NFTs).
If a user decides to claim their vested tokens before their full maturation period, a portion of these tokens is burned. The burn rate decreases linearly over the 9 months. The earlier the claim, the higher the percentage of tokens burned.
Benefits of the Deflationary Airdrop
1. Supply Reduction: As tokens are burned through early claims, the overall supply of S decreases, which can create token scarcity.
2. Incentivized Holding: Users are motivated to hold their tokens until the vesting period ends to avoid burn penalties, promoting long-term investment and stability
3. Active Engagement: The model encourages users to stay active within the network, as increased participation can maximize the utility of their tokens during the vesting period.
4. Speculative Opportunities: The vested tokens are represented as ERC-1155 NFTs, which can be traded on secondary markets. This adds a layer of flexibility and speculative opportunity for users who wish to capitalize on market dynamics without triggering the burn mechanism.

▫️Developers will create new modules and pTokens to increase competitiveness.

▫️StaFi 2.0 includes rebranding and expanded functionality to support contract layer security.
