The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin Audience Reviews

Alicia I love this movie so much
ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
allbean 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.
John Mann Unless you are the type of person that enjoys shoveling your money into a furnace, don't waste your time with this "movie". Its intent is clearly to function as an ad to get greater fools to buy into a pyramid that is already crumbling. You see, bitcoins are nothing but virtual tokens. Greed and ignorance led many people to start trading real money for these tokens (think beanie babies, only even more ridiculous because bitcoins are completely virtual). In order to sustain this scheme, bitcoin "investors" need greater fools to come in and buy their virtual tokens for more money than they paid. That's why you see such great ratings and reviews in this "movie", they are trying to legitimize the scheme. Since the price of bitcoins has been cut in half in just a few months, the people in the pyramid are getting increasingly rabid and desperate. The author of this "movie" is one of those investors. His bias is clear throughout this 96 minutes ad. A true bitcoin documentary would have to be a lot longer, in order to accommodate for all the scams, ponzis, and all the theft that makes up the cryptocurrency world.
Ari Saltiel I watched and totally enjoyed it. It is quite easy to watch and almost completely non technical which is good for the non-bit-coiners. It covers basically all the highs and lows of bit-coin from almost day one and right up to the fall of the biggest exchange . There is no hiding of all the problems bit-coin had and faces in the future but at the same time it is very optimistically told (of course).Even if you are not interested in investing in this- it is good to know what it is all about- and this movie can introduce the subject in an interesting way .It would be interesting to hear an opinion of someone who basically doesn't know anything about bit-coin - whom I think should really be the people to watch this.
Trader Tim 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.
