I love this movie so much

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Thanks for the memories!

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Is it really this virtual currency, along with many other replicas, the future of the payments and the financial system? I bet it will be. Or at least, I hope so. We've all been familiar for a long time with the idea of "open-source software", and now that it comes to money, it just raises a lot of opportunities for the people who want to step into the field of crypto -currencies, or who only want to get rid of banks, and start living life without the worries of fees, taxes and so on, that banks impose. Of course, we have this kind of things in virtual currencies, but are insignificant, compared to the regulations that the government and central banks force us to obey. I guess we are fed up enough with this kind of plastic we worship, call it dollar or whatsoever, we die every single day for it, just to gain a basic income & we can barely afford the "cheap" things. It's time for change. It's time for a revolution. It's time to join the movement!

Great propaganda. Now, what are the nuts and bolts of how bitcoin works? I watched this entire film thinking I, the clueless, was going to be educated on how to get started. All I got was 83 minutes of "government bad, bitcoin good." I know as little about bitcoin as I did before this 83 minute waste of my time.

Director/Writer: Christopher Cannucciari created a descent documentary that certainly informs the layman on a technological tour de force and how the regulation of money supply needs should be depoliticized. As we know, money laundering could happen anywhere else! However, "Banking on Bitcoin" is a descriptive anatomy of the virtual block chain, where transactions are verified by network nodes and recorded in public distributed ledgers. It's a worldwide crypto currency and digital payment system, since the system works without a central repository or single administrator. An unknown programmer or a group of programmers invented this innovative technology. The question is, who is Satoshi Nakamoto? Released as open-source software in 2009, the system is peer-to- peer, and transactions take place between users directly, without an intermediary.

I found this documentary very well done, particularly in regards of explaining the basic concepts and ideas behind Bitcoin (as both, an open, decentralized ledger rather than a 'currency', and an ambitious social experiment).To me as someone who is relatively new into crypto, it was also interesting and enlightening to see short interview clips with the pioneers of Bitcoin (and other approaches to decentralized payment systems), witnesses to it's early history, and although the movie doesn't reveal who Satoshi was ;-) , Cannucciary found a pretty nice way in teasing the viewer with clues on who he might have been, or at least what kind of person he might have been and the visions that drove him.All in all, this documentary should turn out as nicely entertaining and interesting 90 minutes for every Bitcoin / blockchain enthusiast.
