Felt like I watched some pro regulation propaganda to be honest not much in the ways of arguments as to why regulation may be a bad thing.

Well made and interesting but very pro regulation. From the storyline given I thought we would see more of both sides of the coin.

I don't think it's propaganda, but any intelligent person knows for it to become a legit currency where you can actually spend it on shit there's gonna be some 'regulation' and taxation. It's not a bad thing, but like one of the interviewees said, they can't touch the actual protocol so i don't see why it really matters much.

Of course it matters though, thats like saying I dont mind having my emails read , regulated and my history stored because its still the SMTP behind it...

I don't see how they're the same. I think you need to tell me what sort of regulation you have in mind.

I dont have any regulation in mind.

You made the point that any regulation doesn't matter due to the protocol not being changed which I refuted with an example of how you don't have to change the protocol to change the way in which it is used and monitored. Lets not get into a debate on whether regulation is good or bad thing, my opinion that it promoted the idea of regulation without giving much counter argument is my opinion and still stands.

I meant what regulation you had in mind when you were arguing against it.

watch it again the regulations were talking about FIAT gateways..

there was no side of the coin involved.. just a one sided view on paper money

Whether regulation is good or bad is besides the point.

I was saying that it felt pro regulation bias and I expected to see more from the other side of the argument is all.

Of course it matters though, thats like saying I dont mind having my emails read , regulated and my history stored because its still the SMTP behind it...

Gavin recently stepped down from his position and the new lead developer Wladimir van der Laan is not part of this documentary? After Gavin, Wladimir was the most active member of the development team. Does he appear in the film?

keyword: recently
it takes time to film a movie and then publish it after editing it.
EG

silk road is dead, yet mentioned in this topics discussion.
heath ledger died before the dark knight hit movie theatres. yet he starred in the movie.
 
WOW astonishing... not

and to the people that are slamming vessenes and liew, i think you need to reality check why they are saying what they are saying.

FIAT is a government owned product. you can't avoid FIAT regulations legally. so exchanges touching fiat DO need regulating. (i am not talking about pure bitcoin transactions, only FIAT related transactions)

Highly pro-regulatory bias.

And Vessenes and Liew disgust me.

Why? Watching now but they seem decent to me.
