    Storyline

    Edit
    Bitcoin: The End Of Money As We Know It traces the history of money from the bartering societies of the ancient world to the trading floors of Wall St. The documentary exposes the practices of central banks and the dubious financial actors who brought the world to its knees in the last crisis. It highlights the Government influence on the money creation process and how it causes inflation. Moreover, this film explains how most money we use today is created out of thin air by banks when they create debt. Epic in scope, this film examines the patterns of technological innovation and questions everything you thought you knew about money. Is Bitcoin an alternative to national currencies backed by debt? Will Bitcoin and cryptocurrency spark a revolution in how we use money peer to peer? Is it a gift to criminals? Or is it the next bubble waiting to burst? If you trust in your money just as it is - this film has news for you. —Torsten Hoffmann

    Can't imagine a better documentary to introduce bitcoin to your friends
    I thought the trailer was absolutely fantastic (watched it many many times, made the whole issue of money 'cool' which is not easy) so I had high expectations going in but they were very much exceeded.

    I did not expect the 'history of money' section but it was definitely a good idea to put this in- in my experience, the average person has a very hard time grasping the idea that currencies don't last forever. The doc made the point very well that actually the financial system/currency we use is constantly in flux- and in fact our current financial system has only existed since 1971 (watch the doc to find out why!).

    The doc then flowed into what bitcoin is and how it differs from the alternative. I cannot fathom how you can watch this section and arrive at any conclusion other than the fact that bitcoin is one of the greatest innovations of our lifetime.

    I recommend this doc to anyone no matter how knowledgeable you are about bitcoin.
