Topic: Crypto the movie about bear on wallstreet released their trailer. - page 2. (Read 612 times)

The movie seem's lit I think it would be a great movie ,
We should remember that even a bad publicity is still a publicity .
It is just funny first we have the wolf of wallstreet and now we have bear on wallstreet .
I just watch the trailer and I think this would be exciting to watch it is up to the people what to think about Bitcoin.
Besides what could be worst we already have so many negative comments about Bitcoin for the past few years since it made a noise in SilkRoad .

Its looking really good i am eager to watch but releasing on selected or on Demand theaters . I curios to see what they are telling about crypto currency . I feel like they are comparing crypto with underworld activity . I am eagerly waiting . Hope this will give some good thing about crypto currency .

streaming sites already have the full movie uploaded in HD.
a main clean site without ads is flixtor.to

This looks like a great movie, I love the trailer and I'm happy watching that it has over 1 million views already.
Showing on April 12, this is showing in theater already, but I doubt I would see this in our place, but if there's a way to watch this movie in full
I would be willing to pay, hope you guys can share here on for us to see this.

i just watched the whole movie and although it mentions bitcoin and some ICO/tokens a few times the premiss of the movie is not actually about bitcoin being the big part of it. its mor that bitcoin was used just in the middle of the laundering

its about a guy who does AML(antimoney laundering) investigations. he starts out as some savant(genius with numbers) who finds alot of fiat corruption in a business he is employed by, they dont like how detailed his report was and so he is persuaded to instead go investigate a small town bank in his old hometown for a few weeks to let things calm down

he turns up at some liquor store where he see's an old buddy of his who they used to steal liquor from the store, now owning that store. and this buddy is really into bitcoin like most typical basement dweller fans. he even has a bitcoin ATM in the liquor store and some miners in the liquor stores coldstore

turns out this buddy is a bit of a hacker and does alot of research on companies and now does research on potential ICO's to make investments (non movie opinion, cant be that good to still work in a small town liquor store)

anyway the AML investigator sets up his day in a back office of the small time bank, weeding through lots of disorganised paperwork and eventually asks his buddy to help him out look into a few things (non movie opinion. suddenly the AML character that WAS meant to be super smart, now needs a guy running a liquor store to help him investigate..)

anyway long story short.
the bank is found to be linked to money laundering between an art gallery and a small canadian fishing bait shack(shell company for russian mafia) where bitcoin trading using an OTC is done in the middle to anonymise the funds a bit. all on the behalf of some russian mafia.

russian mafia find out about it, and burn down the liquor store (not before the buddy makes a video of some evidence and a bitcoin HDseedwallet passphrase) and the aml guys dad is kidnapped in an attmpt for the fraudsters to get the evidence back

in my view the movie is not a "crypto" movie, but more of a FIAT FRAUD movie featuring crypto. it doesnt really make bitcoin look bad but treat bitcoin as just an anonymising tool so its not a anti-bitcoin movie just a russian fraud movie

to be honest. i feel the tv show "startup" done better at trying to tie bitcoin/ico's into a story line than 'crypto' did. as the movie was more fiat laundering/russian mafia based

but hey, who am i to judge.
americans call a beef burger, hamburger
meat sandwich a cheese steak
a pizza a pie
and chicken wings bufalo wings..

i feel the movie just had a weak fiat fraud story line and thought maybe if they throw in some linkage to bitcoin they could buzzword the movie and get more notoriety for the movie by naming it something bitcoin tech based. because without the OTC trading in the middle of the money laundering.. it would have been a plain boring fiat fraud money of not a strong storyline

I am excited to watch this film. May have a link copy? Surely people's who have did have enough knowledge about bitcoin have a negative impression and feedback to this film.about bitcoin. I hope bitcoin can have also a film with a reality concept or trying to interview those who are already meet their success because of bitcoin so people will open their mind to embrace the crypto world.

Watched the movie and it was all hollywoodize and just used bitcoin as the catalyst to move the story along.
They could of just used money and wiring money via any other method available but they just put crypto in the name of the movie to entice the current generation into watching it.
Mafia washing funds and a small town guy stumbles into what is going on and put a bit of drama and there you go.
Not very good imo.

People are smart enough to understand a movie and the real life scenarios, but one thing is certain that it will introduce the market to a new audience and it is a free large scale advertisement in my opinion. There are many frauds happening in every aspect of life and Hollywood who was releasing series after series with the same theme because of lack of new scripts and interesting themes has taken their screen around the new upcoming market .

I was curious about this film, because surely for ordinary people it would have a negative effect. of course this is just a film, hopefully people think smart in responding

Yeah, I think that it's better for cryptos to have no publicity than be generally known as something used primarily by Russian mafia for money laundering 
This movie seems too pro-government, pro-centralization and pro-bank. A shitty action movie made by people who want to destroy the market and emphasize only the negative impact of decentralization and pseudo-anonymity. It's sad that people who'll see probably won't bother to take a look at whether cryptos really are that bad and stuff.Maybe they do understand, though, and do the disinformation on purpose, because of not being ready for changes. Or maybe the movie is being sponsored by banks (the company that made it is an independent = pretty poor).

The Hollywood propaganda is out in full force with this one.    One very bad movie about Crypto currencies, can create a lot of damage, like we saw with movies like Jaws.

They say even bad publicity is good publicity, but I would much rather prefer some good publicity right now.       

The only thing they seem to show in the trailer is crypto used for money laundering, bad portrayal of crypto.

That is right. This is movie has an overview and any connection regarding the crypto currencies, but it will have a huge impact to the crypto community more that is seems to lead in a wrong direction. But I am glad the movies have been engaging the concepts of crypto currencies within them. Hopefully more crypto related movies will come out soon.

The trailer of the movie is quite interesting, and we can see more similar movies in the falling days. These movies will surely make a big change in the people's mind, if the cryptocurrencies were projected in the right way. More common people will tend to experiment with bitcoin once after watching the movie.

I do think a movie about mark karpeles and his life story would be more interesting to watch the downfall of the exchange mt.gox instead.

Hopefully it will just reflect right on cryptocurrency, I think filmmakers will stand in the neutral. But if they use the wrong view of cryptocurrency to make a film about it, then it's bad, people will have misconceptions about cryptocurrency and lead to no interest in it.

That's what the trailer says so most comments who are true crypto enthusiasts will say it honestly. The trailer is definitely describing the old days when most people think that bitcoin is solely used for those kind of activities.

I hope this won't  change the minds of most that are trying to enter.

You know, it's media and if they don't like something - they'll deprive it with their ways.

Saw this on trending>movies yesterday and was honestly letdown 'cause I was expecting a movie where cryptocurrencies are properly explored out, but judging from the trailer, it seemed to have relied on stereotypes too much which made it mediocre in my eyes. So yeahh, not gonna see this.

The target viewers are not the cryptocurrency users but edgy teens

Hell yeah it will mark like people will see how bitcoin use in dark web and money laundering. Not bad at all, isn't it?
I'm not sure if the writer has been considerate when he/she wrote the story.

It would depend on what the movie is emphasizing about the crypto society. Maybe it good give a kickback on current bearish market if it will be seen by people that have no knowledge of the this tech. Hard part is if they are not interested at all then should be a problem letting them know.
This movie for sure would make a great mark in the history of cyrtography, remember the movie about facebook? After it was released facebook app have been famous since up until now. I think this scene would also apply for Bitcoin and all coins if only were seen.
