I will have a close look at the documentary later today and I am really glad such a documentary exist. If its possible I will look for a way to download it and post in different sites so other people can view it and get information about bitcoin. We should come up with more documentaries giving good insights about bitcoin and its functionality. I have seen written bitcoin books but this is the first time i get to hear about bitcoin documentary.

Out of curiosity, I've search whether there are any Bitcoin or cryptocurrency related movie or series on Netflix and guess what... I've found one!

Banking on Bitcoin is an older documentary (now) but it was fairly well done. We're probably due for another good profile of Bitcoin, particularly given the lull in demand we've seen over the last year. In fact the next doc should focus more about how mainstream business and some of the biggest banks in the world (!) have quietly started chasing all the opportunity that exists because of bitcoin.

Focusing a documentary on the irony that these companies are willing to chase trend and profit of blockchain but not mention anything about cryptocurrency or bitcoin (as if it were the spam email of blockchain rather than the first successful use case) is a lucrative idea, not to mention so appropriate right now. It would also be a great opportunity to talk about a company like Chase creating its own crypto to facilitate payments is hypocrisy because of Jamie Dimon's constant belittling of blockchain for banking and the fact that a corporate run, closed blockchain just ensures that they'll remain the middle-man charging a toll to use their technology.

It would be refreshing for any bank to say - "You know what, bitcoin and blockchain has shown us how antiquated our system is. And that failure on our part to leverage technology to improve the payment/banking system is hurting our customers. Here's what we're going to do about it..."

Ahh, anyone know a good doc producer? Clearly i have ideas...

I would love to see that movie. I like the fact that bitcoin is beginning to penetrate the sphere of cinema. This is undoubtedly the best way to inform people about what bitcoin is. I've also heard some songs about bitcoin and it seems there are even cartoons.

Say this:

" Video unavailable.
This video is not available.
"

That's why I did not watch it, but nowadays there are many educational materials about bitcoin spread all over the internet. Bitcoin is already known worldwide

I also didn't watch this one yet, but surly I will when I have free time. The only thing I met is like special reports on TV news about bitcoin and crypto. All of them were negative about crypto and called it as a new financial pyramid. Well, of course, if the government controls everything what people see on news such opinion of special reporters seems logical. But I would like to see something opposite and this widep seems exactly such kind.

Those that can't find interest researching about crypto on their own can simply watch a documentary that's easier and more entertaining. It'll put btc awareness closer to people which will be very good for adoption.
There is enough to find about crypto if you search for it and are genuinely interested in understanding the fundamentals. Documentaries however are a bit too sensational and highlight irrelevant aspects mostly.

Podcasts however are very interesting to dive into, especially if you follow those who actually know what they are talking about and don't follow the hype and technical analysis crap we see a lot lately.

The best thing about podcasts is that you can listen to them while doing something else. In terms of youtube channels, BnkToTheFuture is what I like to follow. Not exactly a podcast, but I just consume the audio.

wow is it available on netflix? i think i will watch it, from the ttile and the image cover i think it is a good documentary and i think that it can makes people know about bitcoin, when it already posted on netflix.
Well of course. Especially since netflix is a pretty big name for entertainment and a lot of people are subscribed to it. Those that can't find interest researching about crypto on their own can simply watch a documentary that's easier and more entertaining. It'll put btc awareness closer to people which will be very good for adoption.

Watched it last night. Good show. Here are a couple of observations. It is funny how the regulators set up all of these hurdles then become consultants for companies who need to get through the mess they created. Ethereum guy is in the background in many scenes, like some type of "mole". And you know Bitcoin means money when Blythe Masters sets up an office to bank on it.

      Any article or movie about crypto I think it can help us accumulate new information. I did not see the movie, but on this topic I will see it. I guess just to waste time with commercial movies, you better see a movie that helps you be productive. This movie is likely to make curious others outside of the crypto market that will join our crypto community. It's a great win for the crypto market!

Out of curiosity, I've search whether there are any Bitcoin or cryptocurrency related movie or series on Netflix and guess what... I've found one!




"Banking on Bitcoin" is a 90-minute documentary about how Bitcoin started and how it became what it is today. For me, it is a useful source of information for beginners, especially to understand the basics such as what Bitcoin is and how does it work. That's why I really think, this is a worth watching one.

Have you already seen it? What can you say? Do you think that such film can raise awareness of the trend? If you are yet to watch, Banking on Bitcoin is available on Netflix and YouTube. There are, for sure, free ways to watch it, up to you to search for it Wink
I just found it now in Netflix and will definitely watch it. Thanks for sharing this info.

Yeah Already seen it on netflix,
And there is also tons of docomentary film about Bitcoin on youtube.
I also thought that the movie of Keanu Reeves John Wick was using Bitcoin,
But I guess it could be compare to Bitcoin specially if you are going to use it on DeepWeb.

Nice catch of that John Wick's movie. They have gold coins to transact their business.
The idea is to be untraceable by banks or authorities.
For bitcoin's part, yes you can use them to transact in DeepWeb because you just need their bitcoin address.
You don't care who the owner is. But how they will convert to fiat money is another thing..

Wow! i never knew of this documentation though. Maybe we can make a movie about the adoption of cryptocurrencies and show the world how best and secured transactions in crypto can be. This might help introduce transactions in bitcoin to the masses all over the world.

If you watched UNFRIENDED: THE DARK WEB it's also about bitcoin. If you haven't watch it, add it to your watch lists about cryptocurrency movies.  Wink

I'll watched this, too next in line after watching banking on bitcoin. But I guess, I will just skip Banking on Bitcoin since the Op said it is all about how the bitcoin started, etc. Since I've known how it got started.

Yeah, watch it, it's a good movie and it's all about bitcoin and hacking. It's a must watch movie  Wink

Banking on Bitcoin is a good movie but almost three years old. The information in it is partly from the years 2014 and 2015. A very long time in the blockchain area. There are newer movies, documentaries and series about Bitcoin. Time ago, I created a collection thread where Banking on Bitcoin is listed.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/collection-thread-series-and-films-in-which-bitcoin-or-altcoins-appear-1650522

I am indeed very late knowing about this, as I mentioned, I'm not into documentaries before. I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to the past of Bitcoin, and watching the mentioned documentary gave me some ideas. It might be old but can still give people the idea. And thanks for sharing some more, I'd added one series and am gonna add those titles to my to-watch list Wink


top 5 documentaries would be great. please can anyone make a list with some short info.

Check the link I quoted above, this as well:
I have a small list of documentaries on my site if you're interested: https://coinsources.io/bitcoin/#videos

Thank you in sharing this with us and I will find time to be able to go through this documentary.  Bitcoin has a root and many of us did not understand were it started from and we are just enjoying the dividend of cryptocurrencies technologies.

Regardless of the fact that the film is old
But documentaries are one of the most popular ways to spread the idea of btc
Provided they are made in a balanced and fair manner.
