The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin

This movie is nothing but a fluff piece to pump a pyramid scheme that is already collapsing. Basically it's just a bunch of greedy pigs spewing propaganda to try to make you a greater fool in their pyramid. They are really desperate right now, because bitcoin is down over 70% in just a few months, so they need to scam more people fast before the scheme crashes completely. They are all losing huge amounts of money, and want you to join them on their misery. Just ignore them, and let them hold the hot potato till it burns their hands for good ;) Happy I could help you stay away from yet another online scam. Since there's money involved, expect the peddlers to come out in droves to try to push this get-poor-quick scheme down your throat.

Bitcoin may sound very abstract, but it's carried by people of flesh and blood. This movie follows some of the main players in the first years of Bitcoin. See their excitement, share their passion. Sometimes they stumble or fall, but they keep going. In between, you get to learn how Bitcoin works and what it's all about.

If you want to know more about Bitcoin, but are less of a techie and more of a peoples person, this movie is for you.

The only thing I missed in the part that covered 2013 is the developments in China. I can imagine that it was a bit 'out of scope' for the makers, but it felt like an omission to me, especially since its relevance for the November rally. But other than that, a great movie!

For the inquisitive minds about the inherent flaws in our current monetary system and how money works in general, this simplified overview of Bitcoin is truly refreshing. Many complex issues about the protocol is explained in laymen terms to enable any family member to appreciate the invention for what it accomplishes. The internet of money has been spawn and naysayers would one day regret not having explored this invention beyond first misconceptions. This documentary provides a great intro into the early adopters' lives and why the community is blossoming in a time when the rest of the world is sinking deeper into depression and debt. It invites one to look beyond mainstream misrepresentations and that it is only a black market currency. Great documentary indeed. Would recommend it to any friend.

I watched and totally enjoyed it. It is quite easy to watch and almost completely non technical which is good for the non-bit-coiners. It covers basically all the highs and lows of bit-coin from almost day one and right up to the fall of the biggest exchange .

There is no hiding of all the problems bit-coin had and faces in the future but at the same time it is very optimistically told (of course).

Even if you are not interested in investing in this- it is good to know what it is all about- and this movie can introduce the subject in an interesting way .

It would be interesting to hear an opinion of someone who basically doesn't know anything about bit-coin - whom I think should really be the people to watch this.

I expected this movie to be a pump-you-up about the amazing-ness of super technology Bitcoin. Instead, what I got was a very down-to- earth representation of the true grassroots nature of the Bitcoin.

There was actually zero focus on the money you can make by investing, or really any allusions to the fact that you could invest now and get rich.

It wasn't a movie telling you about why Bitcoin is great, they showed you.

Definitely a real "community" feel to the movie, no glamour, just the dirt, really. I liked it a lot.

I really think the title "the Rise and Rise of Bitcoin" is more fitting to the actual infrastructure and community of Bitcoiners, having very little to do with the price.
