Topic: Bitcoin Movie - page 2. (Read 1541 times)

You could argue that The Social Network is largely Internet-based, but it has non-Internet stuff happening as well. It's just a matter of what you focus on.

So, this movie will be a documentary movie? I don't like this kind of movie so much, cause I can't understand it. And this movie is about BTCitcoin, so it will be hard to understand

I'd love to know how you make a movie that will inevitably be set almost entirely on the internet (or dark web in the case of SR). Has any movies like this already been made? Can't imagine some geek sat at his computer clicking on a keyboard will be very exciting.

I would like a DaVinci type style mystery, full of murder and greed. Satoshi being the good guy and his co-developers being the bad guys. They all start with good intentions to make the world a better place and then greed turn them against each other. The old bank robbers with a twist. ^Ha Ha Ha^

In the end, nobody gets the coins, when Satoshi is murdered and he/she takes the private keys to the grave.

Fun idea to think about!

i'm sure most people here would love such movie, but the fact is that there need to be a very decent amount of money to be invested. demand for such movie outside the bitcoin community is low.

That's far too much content to put in one movie. The Silk Road story is getting its own entire movie so the above would be enough material for ten films though most of it would be pretty boring and not exactly 'blockbuster' movie quality.


How would anyone be able to write a movie on satoshi when next to nothing is known about him? Maybe if he gets exposed the blanks could be filled but at the moment we know nothing about him personally before or after he created bitcoin.

Looks pretty similar to the synopsis of Battlefield Earth from 2000 with John Travolta. Just replace various scientology luminaries with nearest equivalent Bitcoin luminaries.

Will probably be equally successful.

Anyone else think Bitcoin's history is perfect for a blockbuster movie?

. Satoshi releases bitcoin (Satoshi's face would never be revealed) --2008ish
. We then go into the lives of the first bitcoiners, Gavin Anderson, Hal Finney, etc --2008 to 2009
. Satoshi leaves Bitcoin unexpectedly and we go into a period where the rest of the bitcoiners have to cope with his leaving --2010
. We then follow Gavin Anderson working on Bitcoin and meeting the CIA --2010
. Mark Karpeles and Charlie Shrem are introduced(BitInstant and MtGox) --2010 to 2012
. The plot revolves around these characters trying to uplift Bitcoin and get adoption, such as making the TBF --2012 to 2013
. However, things go awry when Charlie Shrem is charged by the Feds -- 2013
. Bitcoin's current ATH occurs in November 2013 as the price peaks at $1200 per coin, now the movie gets social and we see them celebrating, etc 2013
. MtGox falls under along with Mark Karpeles --2014
. A large amount of companies gain interest in Bitcoin and start accepting it ---2014
. The Bitcoin Foundation falls and Gavin Anderson and other developers go to work for MIT labs --2015
. The movie ends with the Hard Fork for increased blocksize going through and cheers to the revolutionary future of Bitcoin
. The ending credits show the future of Bitcoin, it becomes a standard currency and largely accepted around the world --2020+

That's my thoughts on the first Bitcoin movie. A 2nd one would feature Satoshi Nakamoto's life(face revealed), what led him/them to create bitcoin, the actual creation of Bitcoin, it's release, and the ending would be a cliffhanger on what Satoshi did after leaving in 2010.
