Não Confie em Ninguém: A Caça ao Rei da Criptomoeda

Being a documentary/movie made on cryptocurrency, this is sure to get a lot of views. Once again netflix goes the route of speculative stories and tries to make something more confusing that cutting to the chase.

The good thing about this is that they did not drag this out unnecessarily and wrapped it up in 1.30 hours. Worth a watch but don't expect a lot.

WOW this was frustrating. So many questions and ended so abruptly. I think they prob should have done this in another five years time and see what else comes out. Leaves you with an empty feeling.

Why should anyone trust something that at best is only real in some sort of cyberspace locker? Most of us have seen a bank vault at least from the outside. It is an imposing thing and it isn't just for show. It is due to extreme measures being taken to protect currency and physical things of value In this it seems utterly stupid to trust something that isn't physical that who knows who might have access to. Maybe I am behind the technological curve, but the whole idea of crypto-currency seems like it is the worst idea to build one's financial life around.

This is a fascinating story of greed and crime based on what on the surface seems like a very unlikely criminal named Gerald Cotten. It's a mystery in that no one will likely ever be sure of how Cotten lost his investors monies. It's also somewhat unclear if Cotten did, in fact, die in India. What is known is that Cotten did engage in a criminal Ponzi scheme to fund his own self. There are other mysteries too such as did his co-founder have a hand in the criminal activity? Did his wife have knowledge as well as complicity in the crime? This doc exposes a lot of the bad stuff yet certainly it lacks some definitive answers. It is a good warning about how crypt-currencies aren't the answer to any kind of better monetary system. See it and come to your own conclusions. Personally after seeing this I can see why the value of these supposed financial instruments is unsafe and best avoided. In a way we should be glad this shot over the bough is a real warning.

This is a solid documentary that provides simple enough information for would be victims of crypto scams. Watch out for the poor ratings given here by so called "experts" that want to trash this documentary in order to maintain the credibility of a continuous "decentralised" crypto business scam fuelled by greed.

I am a techie with 30 + years in the industry and I can assure you that the chances you will be scammed in the crypto world is very, very high.

Btw, are you a believer that the world will have a decentralised financial economy? Keep dreaming. The bits and coins of the darknet will continue to rejoice at your naïveté.

This documentary focuses on the conspiracy theory on the death of the founder rather than his wrong doings. They reason for investors losing money is explained at the end in just 5 mins. Rest of the time is spent on new conspiracy theories. One of the highlights is the person who wanted to save 2% bank charges and put all his money on this fraud company.
