Intriguingly, as the date for the airing of the documentary has drawn near, a number of high-value wallets from the "Satoshi era" have become active for the first time since 2009.

Bitcoin isn't that.

True, it's not private and has too low throughput for transactions per second to be used as day-to-day currency, but something like Monero intends to solve both of those things. There are actually people accepting Monero as a day-to-day currency and living off of it, including myself.

Fair point. There's a good chance somebody would have come up with the idea at some point, but Satoshi was the first to do so with the blockchain, which really did change everything.
