Banking on Bitcoin

The future is truely here and Bitcoin is the future ...its here now and allot of us are using it. $10,000 for one bitcoin in the years to come. It only takes one small smart hedge fund manager or small bank to invest like they are in Japan to put it over the top. Currenlty at one bitcoin is $1000. Get it while its still low since there are only 21 million of them. I've always figured Japan is 5 years ahead of the US and so it will be huge globally in a year or so....Good luck...and let me know you read it here first in your comments behind mine when it goes beyond your expectations.

Really clearly presented and very entertaining!

..and I'm happy to be part of it.

Great documentary. Explains the rise (or perhaps I should say "the high") and fall of Bitcoin, reasons behind a regulated system, and the hopes and dreams Bitcoin enthusiasts. Innovation is a wonderful thing and when done well, it improves our world and succeeds. The first time I heard about Bitcoin, I was intrigued but it seemed doomed to fail. Essentially, an ecosystem for illegal activity (drugs, money laundering, guns etc.) was built for those who want to remain anonymous. It was then advertised publicly. Perhaps an absurd conflict of interests? Don't worry, enthusiasts. The infrastructure is still there to be run underground. Sigh.

The filmmakers manage to turn what could be one of the dullest, most difficult to grasp subjects, into a fairly gripping movie. I don't generally love documentaries unless they involve murder, but this was great and I actually learned something.

I had some understanding of Bitcoin, but didn’t know the history or trajectory, individuals involved, etc and this laid it all out. It wasn’t heavy-handed one way or another, like many docs, so I liked coming to my own conclusions. The only thing I wish it had was even more information/details but it was already tightly packed as it was so I’m guessing it would have been way too long. Maybe a part two in the future?

I enjoyed this documentary because of its chronological storytelling interspersed with personal experiences and comparisons between the two Banking systems. It's interesting that movies like The Big Short, Margin Call and Bitcoin reveal not only the corruption of central banking and Wall Street during the 2008 crisis, but that no one went to jail as a result. I recommend this movie for prompting viewers to think about Banking, Changes and Reforms.

This documentary covers the history and future implications of Bitcoin and other digital currencies and presents this complex topic in a manner that's easy to understand. It looks like most every major player was interviewed.
