About the Series

What is Satoshi's Mirror?

Satoshi's Mirror is a multi-part anime documentary series that traces Bitcoin's evolution from its birth in the 2008 financial crisis to its impact on the modern world. Through mature animation inspired by Ghost in the Shell and Cowboy Bebop, we explore not just the technology, but the philosophy, economics, and human belief that shaped a revolution.

Every revolution begins with a question. Every system, with doubt. This series examines how a handful of believers created something that challenged the very foundations of money, trust, and power.

The Mirror Concept

The mirror doesn't judge—it only reflects. When people look at Bitcoin, they see different things: some see greed, others see freedom. Some see chaos, others see mathematical order. Satoshi's Mirror explores these reflections, showing how Bitcoin reveals as much about us as it does about money.

Visual Style

Drawing inspiration from mature anime classics, the series combines:

• Ghost in the Shell - Philosophical depth and cyberpunk aesthetics
• Cowboy Bebop - Jazz-noir atmosphere and character-driven storytelling
• Golgo 13 - Serious tone and documentary realism
• Berserk - Dark atmospheric lighting for crisis moments

Episode Structure

Season 1 explores Bitcoin's early history, from the 2008 crisis through the formation of a movement that challenged the foundations of money, trust, and power. Each episode examines a pivotal moment, character, or concept that shaped the revolution. From Satoshi's whitepaper to the pizza transaction, from Hal Finney's contributions to the community's growth, we document the real people and events that created this transformation.
