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.

Excellent movie. It is be likely to be a great historical capture for mankind (in case bitcoin survive). This movie captures the some part of history of this ongoing experiment , which is important to some of us the crazy one's .. While a lot of characters in the movie may have questionable background. But have we looked around us ( lately ).. At the same time there are plenty of very smart people who are devoting their manhours toward this historical project. Jeff Garzik, Peter todd, Mike Hern Vladimir, Gavin and many others. Those who call bitcoin a pyramid scheme You are right. Here is a quote from satoshi himself.."If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry."- Satoshi - July 2010.Thanks for the effort ... Enjoy the movie.

Even though I already know a lot about the amazing technology behind Bitcoin, I still enjoyed this documentary. The film gives insight into the early days of mining, and the drama that happened with mtgox and bit instant. The interview with the CEO of mtgox was interesting. I highly recommend it to anyone that is interested in Bitcoin. It's sad that there are so many people out there that don't understand the full extent of the innovation that has happened with the block chain. Hopefully this documentary will help people understand that Bitcoin is much more than just a new form of money. It's a whole new way of thinking.

Bitcoin is indeed in an accelerated stage of its existence. While a few trolls here have chosen to label the first-ever grassroots bootstrapped financial system as "tulips" and a "ponzi scheme", this documentary shows quite the opposite.It begins with a typical Bitcoin participant, an average man with a wife and kids, as he explains his gradual involvement in Bitcoin, and his hopes for the future. It also shows pivotal individuals that have been involved with Bitcoin in some way, without glossing over rough spots in Bitcoin's history.The takeaway here is Bitcoin is a system that is being built, for normal people, so they can take control of their own financial future. Unlike the legacy system, there aren't onerous controls and rules, its up to you to determine your level of engagement.Seeing someone pay someone on the other side of the globe, without having to worry about banking hours, wire fees, or any of the other associated nonsense is what really hit home for me.This documentary is about people working with Bitcoin, and the positive influence it will have on our collective futures, and is well worth the viewing.
