Topic: [LIST] - Movies/Documentaries about Bitcoin and Blockchain (Read 102 times)

Thanks for your contributions guys! 

Exist others movies/documentaries about Bitcoin and Blockchain that I haven't said. The ones I mentioned are the ones I've already seen and found it very interesting to share with you (maybe it might help any newbie who is interested in learning about crypto).
I also agree, some of this content is dramatized to get attention, but I believe this is normal as some movies these days still do that.

Even my mother, who has an advanced age, watched a documentary about crypto, and found it interesting and also got to know about crypto and blockchain (even superficially)

wow, i didn't know of the existence of this topic, thanks for introducing me! 

I didn't find it on this list that @tyz created, but a series on Netflix, Money Heist (La Casa de Papel), has a scene where Rio accesses DeepWeb/DarkNet to buy some weapons and ammo, and he still says to the Professor that he will pay using Bitcoin, which is an easy method for them not to be tracked! (I just don't remember which season or episode it happened)

good list. There are also some good YT podcasts on the topic from authors like Lemmino, Cold Fusion, and great conversations on podcasts like the Lex Friedman podcast. I know the topic is not podcasts or short YT docus, but I recommend anyone that wants some additional perspectives to go and check it out.

Currently binge watching How to sell drugs online (fast) in Netflix and I am quite surprised that in Season 2 episode 1, they have mentioned the importance of using "bitcoin mixer" to obfuscate their transactions when they bought their €350.00 champagne because they are earning it illegally  .

Even though it's just a short scene, you can say that they put an effort in researching on some of its deeper technical concept that is different from the typical black market scenes on other movies.

I also have a similar experience, everything I've seen is actually very superficial and with a lot of inaccuracy, and although I have nothing against constructive criticism, most of what I've seen has a fair amount of negativity as the main message. I recently started watching some sort of documentary on Netflix that deals with the history of money, and I soon ended up watching when the author cited the example of Bitcoin as an example of a pump&dump scheme.

@gagux123, If you missed it, this thread is a good source of information about Bitcoin/altcoins movies and series -> [Collection Thread] Series and films in which Bitcoin (or Altcoins) appear

There's also "The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin" which has a 7.2 rating on IMDB currently. I can't remember what ones I've actually watched on this list. I remember watching a few Bitcoin documentaries, but I wasn't overly impressed with some of them. I found some of them pretty inaccurate, and a lot of them dramatised. I guess to make a documentary about a cryptocurrency you have to somewhat dramatise it to keep the general audience engaged.

Hello guys, how are you?

I would like to introduce me.
Nice to meet you guys, I'm gagux123 and the reason I create this topic is that to share my knowledge with others, especially newbies.

Below, I'll insert a list with several movies and documentaries about Bitcoin and Blockchain.
