Ah, a Ripple troll. Makes sense now.
lol, we're watching you!
Here is the real review:
"Overdone, self promotional, deceptive, manipulative, and premature, The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin promises to do one thing: aggrandize an already technologically usurped protocol to the benefit and fame of early adopting 'founders' and detriment of exploitable consumers. Make no mistake, The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin is part of a grand design to enrich, publicize, and empower members of the Bitcoin club, not a fair, artful, impartial discourse on the future of cryptocurrencies."

Yes, we are a small independent team that believe in the future of Bitcoin. So do a lot of other people, and the number is growing in leaps and bounds. Bitcoin has so many stories around the world and so much content you could make 1000 documentaries and slant them however you like. Feel free to make your own and cater to whatever audience you like. I don't think 99% of the population would give a damn about watching "impartial discourse on the future of cryptocurrencies" if they don't even know what one is. They might start to care if they watch an entertaining movie about Bitcoin and see a portrayal of characters that have dedicated their time and money to supporting the idea of a decentralized open-source currency and helping it grow. That is what the film is about.
I don't see why you would bother going through so much trouble to over-analyze and nay-say a working trailer that is meant to build interest in the film. We aren't even finished FILMING yet!

Premature.
Do you have a credits for music used?
The music used from 2:07 has something very... Trent Reznor about it.

Bill Gaal from Gaal Music Group created the music for this. If you like what you hear, check out some of his other music. You'll love it.

Do not forget about Hal Finney, he deserve it.
I agree. We have attempted to contact him in the past but that is all I can say at this point.

Trailer looks great, keep up the good work guys!
This is absurd. This is anything but a documentary. It's an impressive piece of propaganda, but to be a documentary it needs to be more than "These bitcoins are the solution to everything and they will fellate you in your sleep"
+1
That was my first impression too.

I don't think you understand what a documentary is. Documentaries are SUPPOSED to have sided on something and have an opinion.
This is not necessarily a true. a GOOD documentary will still provide opposing arguments - and come to a balanced point of view after considering both supporting and contrary arguments
this doc still looks good though. impossible to tell from the trailer whether it touches on potential problems/disadvantages with bitcoin.
Very nice, guys. If the docu lives up to the trailer it will be awesome!
Very nice work ☺
Also, for anyone who is wondering, we are aware of the crowd-funded bitcoin documentary and consider our film to be the other "first" bitcoin documentary. We have been in communication with Johannes and his team for the past few weeks and we are keeping the door open for possible collaboration between the two projects. These are fast times in the bitcoin world and we are looking forward to bringing our stories to the community!
Very nice^Bitcoin is about collaboration and sharing.
I'd like to see the bitcoiners from Africa, Asia, Russia, Europe etc..

Hi everyone,
Thank you all so much for the kind words. We have been working hard for over a year on the documentary and are excited to be on the home stretch. We really appreciate all of your support and are looking forward to showing you the final film.
Since we are still in production, we released this as a working trailer to be premiered at Bitcoin 2013. It doesn't dive into the deeper story-lines, character arcs, dramatic elements, or political and economical debates that we will be covering in the film. Once we have our final trailer(s) out, you will see much more of that. We'll be posting more content as time progresses, so keep an eye out!
We really appreciate the donations that have been coming in since the release of the trailer as well. We've been working for a long time, and the support means a lot to us, so thank you again. Here are some of our official links:
