Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It

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.

Watching the Documentary I was moved in many points, it should be made ​​to see in schools and used as a means of debate to open the discussion on the meaning of money. The author manages to enclose in an hour a large amount of information about blockchain technology and history of money. Really congratulations to Torsten and to whom worked on it. Recommended to all lazy people that want to understand Bitcoin but no time to do it on the books

P.S. I login again to IMDb after years just to write this comment ... surely significant ;-)

This film does a brilliant job of making the point why Bitcoin is a necessary entity in our modern existence. People need options...people need a bonafide way to hold their governments accountable, and this film shows why bitcoin is that tool of accountability. It's short, sweet, and doesn't skip a beat. This film is a must watch and must show. Sit down and dig in. And, Optimus Prime does the narration...j/k, but seriously go watch it. If you are your friends have any friends that have gone completely bonkers over bitcoin, then this film will show you why. It isn't heavy on the technical jargon and makes bitcoin a very approachable topic of interest. You will leave this film with a much better understanding for the need of a digital economy.

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!

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.
