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.

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

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!

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.

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.
