Rise of Bitcoin Documentary

Documentary: The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin

“The genie is out of the bottle.”

“Satoshi is the Keyser Söze of the Internet.”

Those are a few choice quotes from the trailer for the upcoming documentary The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin.

Below is the official description:

Dan is a 35 year old computer programmer from Pittsburgh who lives a busy life. Along with balancing work, his marriage, and raising his three boys, Dan spends much of his time actively involved in all things Bitcoin. After discovering Bitcoin in 2011, his love and obsession for the crypto-currency was born, revealing an uncharted world of new possibilities for him to explore.

Join us as we take a journey through the rapidly growing world of Bitcoin. Along the way, we’ll follow the stories of entrepreneurs and startups that are helping shape the new financial frontier. We’ll look at the competitive mining market and the various subcultures within the Bitcoin community. You’ll encounter a variety of characters and opinions as we examine the social and political impact of an open-source digital currency. Will the rise of Bitcoin bring a monetary paradigm shift that will forever change the world?

And here is the trailer of the film, still in production.

Interview at Bitcoin HQ in the UK

“Bitcoin started in the black markets, but people will soon realize they can cut large amounts of costs … It’s a new type of leadership.”

Understanding Bitcoin requires understanding the power users behind the alternative currency.

In the video below is an interview with two young libertarians from the UK sharing their perspective on the impact Bitcoin could have on the global market.

More from IamSatoshi.com.

Through London, Sun and rain, across the bridge, Bit-towers looms ahead, Anarcho- Libertarian, underworld cyber currency, or alternatively, the future.

Door opens and Mohawk welcomes us in. Post 80’s boom, large office complex, now home to upwards of sixty anarchists, activists, occupy members, squatters, hackers, programmers possible genius’s and appreciators of the above.

Upstairs to the Meditation room. We set up camera and get to know our hosts. Open source programmers and developers, stock market players and she sleeping off last nights party. Organic fruit, mineral water, soya milk an’coffee.

About to begin and Mohawk receives a call on his mobile.  Grandmother from Brighton calling to ask advice on how to move money without being rinsed by the money transfer co.’s. Mohawk advises elderly lady.  Anarcho- Libertarian support for the old and distressed by government. Stereo types are here to be broken.

Amir Taaki begins to speak, enthusiasm and imagination dance. Eyes telling of possible futures. Where people aren’t beholden to banks, untenable taxes, government  spying/ snooping. Prophecies of the future or youthful passion, are they mutually exclusive?

From dizzy heights we return to earth. Jonathan Harrison talks of markets, gold, silver, financial solvency and Libertarianism.  The language of the economist or banker (almost). Currently involved in negotiations with various  leading  exchange bureau’s. He points out, most criticisms are coming from institutions that may well lose heavily if Bitcoin becomes established in the “mainstream”.  Confidence and pragmatism exist here. This is not an exercise in faith alone.

Bitcoin Primer Video

Bitcoin Primer Video

Below is a short Bitcoin primer video. The video provides an overview of Bitcoin, the decentralized digital currency taking the world by storm.

The film was directed, designed and animated by Duncan Elms, written and voiced by Marc Fennell - a personal project done between other jobs. More info at Vimeo.

The narration and illustration does a great job of explaining Bitcoin, discussing:

  • The difference between Bitcoin and fiat currencies
  • What Bitcoin mining is and how many Bitcoins have been mined
  • How Bitcoin is a self-stabilizing economy
  • Bitcoin exchanges including Mt. Gox
  • The Silk Road
  • Who accepts Bitcoin as cash
  • MintChip

The video is out of date in terms of the price of Bitcoin because of the massive growth and subsequent bubble bursting, but otherwise an excellent Bitcoin primer.
