We drank the Crypto Kool-Aid and got sucked into the ICO bubble of 2017-2019: A wild ride into the heart of the Blockchain dream of decentralized freedom. Was it a mirage or start of new way to do capitalism? Whatever it was - it was crazy

Could Crypto ever become the basis of all human interaction in a world freed from state and corporate power? Since 2008 and the mysterious launch of Blockchain and Bitcoin, the true believers in Crypto think so. The ICO (Initial Coin Offering) promised a radical way to raise money for start-ups without the need for VC's, big banks, or established stock exchanges.

The makers of this film couldn't - at least at the start. This is the story of their journey into the savage heart of Crypto, Blockchain and The ICO.
