Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It

I thought the trailer was absolutely fantastic (watched it many many times, made the whole issue of money 'cool' which is not easy) so I had high expectations going in but they were very much exceeded.

I did not expect the 'history of money' section but it was definitely a good idea to put this in- in my experience, the average person has a very hard time grasping the idea that currencies don't last forever. The doc made the point very well that actually the financial system/currency we use is constantly in flux- and in fact our current financial system has only existed since 1971 (watch the doc to find out why!).

The doc then flowed into what bitcoin is and how it differs from the alternative. I cannot fathom how you can watch this section and arrive at any conclusion other than the fact that bitcoin is one of the greatest innovations of our lifetime.

I recommend this doc to anyone no matter how knowledgeable you are about bitcoin.

I was fortunate enough to see bits of the early trailers last year and was very much looking forward to this release. This film did not disappoint. It gives a very through explanation of the history of money which I found to be very informative.

The interviews were excellent and the film gave a well rounded, cohesive storyline that should leave newcomers to Bitcoin fairly well informed about what it is and why it matters.

This documentary is a must-see for everyone wanting a good history lesson in money, who want to learn about bitcoin, and see the possibilities with the future of crypto-currency.

If you're wondering why our economic system is in such bad shape, or what you can do to prepare for an economic disaster in the future, then take a look at Bitcoin: The End Of Money As We Know It.

What the media tells us about money, and what money truly is are two separate things. Understand how a brand new monetary system can be the catalyst that drives a global revolution. Loved this film!

This documentary takes a sobering look at the central role that money plays in the world. It is not just a lesson on the near- limitless potential of Bitcoin and blockchain based technology, but it is fundamentally a film about money and exchange.

The film tells the story of money and bitcoin by tracing the origins of money back to the age of barter. From here, through use of various forms of footage and clever editing, the film tells stories of power, control and deceit. It traces the rise of the Medici and others through the history of banking and commerce.

The End Of Money is as enjoyable as it is informative. It uses economic, political and cultural history to place bitcoin into a context that does much to explain its importance.

This film is perfect for anyone looking to understand bitcoin and what the central and commercial banks have done to our money. Enlightening and shocking.

These are powerful closing words to a documentary that will inspire you to question your understanding of money as we know it. Attributed to Satoshi Nakamoto, the enigmatic person or collective behind the creation of Bitcoin, it stirs our imagination. As technology disrupts more and more of the analog ways we've conducted our lives (from ride-sharing to social media to innovative apps), we start to wonder if Bitcoin may indeed disrupt our financial systems in the powerful way this documentary has laid out for us.

"BITCOIN: The End of Money as We Know It" is a reflective look back at our human history of monetary exchange, and does a great job of exploring the hows and whys of currency creation. Paired with an energetic music score and voice-of-god like narration, it will get you rethinking how the world may fundamentally shift yet again. It is impressive the way the film covers the span of thousands of years of currency history, a topic that could easily become technical gymnastics. At its high points, the doc's riveting intensity recalls earlier greats, such as Inside Job, about the financial crisis. Very educational and informative. Wish it were even longer!
