Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
This film does such a good job of truly making our money systems that we currently use now understandable and how Bitcoin relates/improves upon these systems that it inspired me to create an IMDb account and write this review. A MUST watch!!! Once you watch this you will be informed enough to further investigate and research Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies which are a truly fascinating wave of the future! Get ready world because Bitcoin is coming and it's only going to get stronger and more widely used/understood! 10/10 for this one!!!
I am a believer in Bitcoin and lover of any documentary that talks about how important it is in today's world of corrupt money and banking systems. That being said, This one takes it a step further and really explains how the banks make "magic money" with the federal reserve to keep things moving. I can honestly say for anyone who still believes in the dollar they really need to see this. Even if you do not believe in bitcoin you should should really watch this. This documentary is more about the state of our countries financial affairs. It is definitely worth an hour of your time.
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 ;-)
Bitcoin documentaries are always fascinating for novice digital currency enthusiasts, as they have access to a convenient medium to learn something new. Granted, sometimes these documentaries present outdated information. Bitcoin, The End of Money As We Know It is now available on Vimeo and BitTorrent Bundle.The list of Bitcoin documentaries is still fairly short at this time, but there is always a sense of anticipation whenever a new release is coming up. In the case of "Bitcoin: The End of Money As We Know It", that release has been anticipated for quite some time now. But the wait is finally over, as this Bitcoin documentary can now be purchased on both Vimeo and BitTorrent Bundle platforms.Whenever Bitcoin is introduced to a new group of enthusiasts, there is always a slight hurdle to overcome in terms of explaining why it offers advantages over fiat currency as we know it. And regardless of how that conversation is perceived, it ends up being quite drawn- out and boring at times when discussing the history of money.Bitcoin: The End of Money As We Know It explains the history of money in a video format and unveils some things most people already know, as well as some other things hardly anyone knows about. Finding the proper layman terminology to achieve this goal is not an easy feat. However, the writer/director/producer of this Bitcoin documentary is fairly confident young adults will take away quite a bit of information from it.Bitcoin is a very complex topic, as there is much more to it than just the Bitcoin price mainstream media likes to rave about. The revolutionary aspect of Bitcoin itself is a lengthy topic to discuss, and in order to explain it properly, it has to be put into its rightful context. Striking a conversation about Bitcoin out of the blue rarely goes well, and as with any informative talk, starting at the beginning is the best approach.This historical context is what makes "Bitcoin: The End of Money As We Know It" so interesting, and different from other Bitcoin documentaries. Even though this is only a 60-minute video, the first half of it does not even reference Bitcoin at all. Explaining the history of money is an integral part of the Bitcoin mindset, and with the right mix of humour and storytelling, a cohesive story has been created."Most people have heard of bitcoin. But not enough people understand it. Our documentary is a crash course in this disruptive technology. 'Bitcoin: The End Of Money As We Know It' puts a clear, unbiased lens on the history of money, the role of institutions, and the rise of digital currencies." – Torsten Hoffmann, Writer, Director and Producer of Bitcoin: The End of Money As We Know It told Digital MoneyTimes.
