Banking on Bitcoin: Directed by Christopher Cannucciari. With Wences Casares, Nathanial Popper, Nick Spanos, Gavin Andresen. Bitcoin is the most disruptive invention since the Internet, and now an ideological battle is underway between fringe utopists and mainstream capitalism. The film shows the players who are defining how this technology will shape our lives.

“I found this documentary very well done, particularly in regards of explaining the basic concepts and ideas behind Bitcoin (as both, an open, decentralized ledger rather than a u0026#39;currencyu0026#39;, and an ambitious social experiment).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTo me as someone who is relatively new into crypto, it was also interesting and enlightening to see short interview clips with the pioneers of Bitcoin (and other approaches to decentralized payment systems), witnesses to itu0026#39;s early history, and although the movie doesnu0026#39;t reveal who Satoshi was 😉 , Cannucciary found a pretty nice way in teasing the viewer with clues on who he might have been, or at least what kind of person he might have been and the visions that drove him.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll in all, this documentary should turn out as nicely entertaining and interesting 90 minutes for every Bitcoin / blockchain enthusiast.”
