This movie is really only for the most elementary who have basically never even heard of libertarian monetary conspiracy theorists. It literally needed econ 101 even though it was trying to teach it. I am tired of these libertarian limited persons who don't get but the most basic economic theory but pound their chests for no good reason. It's absolutely absurd, when I see bitcoin, i see a mirror up to why libertarian economics is bunk. it even seems painfully obvious in this video, do libertarians not understand demand side economics? Trade Economics or really the meaningless of long-term inflation in non-monetary concerns? Money is a means of exchange if you were rewarded for being retained foe 100 yrs thew entire financial structure of society would grind to a halt, little investments, little loans, little oh nothing but {fundraising-webpage}, well dance then children dance like your life depends on it, It probably does.

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 booksGuidoP.S. I login again to IMDb after years just to write this comment ... surely significant ;-)

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!

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.
