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.

Before watching this documentary, there are a few things you should keep in mind:bitcoin investors want other people to buy bitcoins (which have no intrinsic value) so they can become rich by selling themthis documentary was paid with donations from bitcoin investorsthis documentary was directed by a bitcoin investorFor the same reason you shouldn't expect a stellar documentary if Goebbels was directing a movie about WW2, you shouldn't expect a fair and reasonable assessment from a director that stands to make money (real money, not internet tokens) if he can convince you to buy into the charade that is bitcoin. The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin is a biased piece, and fails to even scratch the surface of the scam-infested bitcoin world, where every day a new non-regulated exchange runs off with customer funds, a bitcoin-backed ponzi collapses, and a few scammers get rich at the expense of others. It also doesn't explain what a wasteful and unnecessary technology bitcoin is. Still, the movie can provide some comedic relief, as long as you are aware that they are trying to sell you the equivalent of digital tulip bulbs.

This movie is a most-watch for everybody, since it will inevitably affect you in the coming years. This technology is here to stay and will prove to be even more transcendental than the internet itself, since will have many more applications and will bring decentralization and equality for billions of people living currently in poverty.Decentralized systems are the way to empower the people, the path to re-set the control from the few to the many, are the future for everything. The potential implications of the development of distributed consensus technologies is revolutionary. We have now an open source peer to peer decentralized digital currency. It is very safe, since is cryptographically secured by a distributed global mathematical algorithm and public decentralized open source ledger, a revolutionary disruptive technology called 'Blockchain'.This could be the future of money for everything, from donations, micro-payments, money transfers, online shopping and bill payments, etc. Empowering and welcoming to the game to billions of unbanked people. And the block-chain peer-to-peer open source decentralized secure technology will be used for many more applications, like escrow, contracts, voting, global ledger, etc.We shouldn't be like the ones that were dismissing the internet not long ago as a "den of pedophiles, drug dealers and terrorists". The block-chain is the biggest thing since the internet and will benefit also the billions of under and unbanked people.

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.
