SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

It is very well made and touches (and explains) most of the more interesting functions and applications of this new technology. Blockchain (Bitcoin) is the key for the decentralized future of humanity, once the centralized and corrupt current systems crumble on their own weight. So this documentary depicts why bitcoin is the future not only for money, but for many more imagined (contracts, global ledger, voting, etc) and yet unimagined decentralized and transparent services for the good of every human being.Just as reference: "Bitcoin is the currency of the Internet: a distributed, worldwide, decentralized digital money. Unlike traditional currencies such as dollars, bitcoins are issued and managed without any central authority whatsoever: there is no government, company, or bank in charge of Bitcoin. As such, it is more resistant to wild inflation and corrupt banks. With Bitcoin, you can be your own bank."

We are living a unique moment, the rise of the greatest invention since the Internet. The Internet of money (do not confuse with the money of the Internet).The film shows some of the history and explains briefly what is bitcoin. It is impossible to watch and not get passionate, unless you really did not understand. It is sad that some people qualify negatively without ever having watched.I highly recommend it. Understand this moment we are living, and the birth of this technology that will surely change the world and human relations.

Unlike the review by Mr John Bast conveys, the current market price of Bitcoin is not relevant. Even if Bitcoin drops to $1, the technology, which has already been acknowledged as "revolutionary" by the Canadian and UK Government, will continue to effect its transformative influence on the financial industry.There is a strange subset of individuals who simply despise Bitcoin, even though it is nothing more than math and software. This leads me to believe that people like Mr. Bast are just upset they missed the meteoric rise in value last November. Nevertheless, those who take the time to understand the technology, and pay attention to the incredible growth in the industry, will see that we are at the beginning of something huge.You don't have to invest in Bitcoin at all. You can just use it, and enjoy the privacy, independence, and freedom of controlling your own money without permission from any 3rd party. Therefore "pyramid scheme" is a misnomer of epic proportions.This movie is a great look into the beginning stages of the community surrounding this disruptive new technology. So much has happened since it was made, that it is already "dated", but it gives a more technical look into what's being created, and where its going. Don't be a simpleton like John and just dismiss it outright. Take the time to learn what it is, and why its going to rock the financial world in the next 10 years. This movie is a great starting point for that research.

Unless you are the type of person that enjoys shoveling your money into a furnace, don't waste your time with this "movie". Its intent is clearly to function as an ad to get greater fools to buy into a pyramid that is already crumbling. You see, bitcoins are nothing but virtual tokens. Greed and ignorance led many people to start trading real money for these tokens (think beanie babies, only even more ridiculous because bitcoins are completely virtual). In order to sustain this scheme, bitcoin "investors" need greater fools to come in and buy their virtual tokens for more money than they paid. That's why you see such great ratings and reviews in this "movie", they are trying to legitimize the scheme. Since the price of bitcoins has been cut in half in just a few months, the people in the pyramid are getting increasingly rabid and desperate. The author of this "movie" is one of those investors. His bias is clear throughout this 96 minutes ad. A true bitcoin documentary would have to be a lot longer, in order to accommodate for all the scams, ponzis, and all the theft that makes up the cryptocurrency world.
