Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It

I really enjoyed this documentary. I liked that is firstly gets into the question about what is money and a short history of it. Then it goes on about how the actual system works and how money is being created out of debts by the fractional reserve system. From there we understand why bitcoin might be important in the future from now. Finally it explains what is bitcoin and how the whole system works. I felt that 1h long was a bit too short to cover the subject of money and bitcoin combined. On the other hand it was a very straight forwarded documentary. I strongly recommend this documentary to anyone who is interested in the concept of money and wants to understand what goes wrong with our current monetary system.

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.

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 ;-)

Absolutely the best short film on the complexity and beauty of this new digital wonder called Bitcoin. The narration was incredible. I really like the educational part of this video and how Bitcoin will definitely be a force to reckon with considering its reach within the general populace. The creativity was spectacular. I even shared with friends that the narrator sounds like Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime from the Transformers movie. Just an all around professional movie that is objective and educational. I have shared this with as many people as I can and will be waiting for more awesome productions. Definitely a keeper as a documentary. This movie was well thought out by the creators.
