Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It (2015)

If you're wondering why our economic system is in such bad shape, or what you can do to prepare for an economic disaster in the future, then take a look at Bitcoin: The End Of Money As We Know It.What the media tells us about money, and what money truly is are two separate things. Understand how a brand new monetary system can be the catalyst that drives a global revolution. Loved this film!

90% of this documentary is about money, including history of money - which is pretty informative. Authors certainly had the right idea with the movie to show how our current currency isn't working that well. I can only assume they are deeply invested in this digital currency as they certainly pushing it. Instead of providing more info and ideas on how to fix the system, they are trying to prove to the viewer how bitcoin is the answer - and it's NOT. At least not currently in its present form. I'll start this by saying. PLEASE PLEASE do NOT buy the idea of bitcoin. This is not a currency,but more like a stock that goes up and down. In 2011 it was nearly worthless then around 2014 it was worth around $1200 then went down to less than $180. It's definitely not an investment in any way or form. It's casino platform with bitcoin as a chip. An average person has no use of bitcoin. It's an excellent way for criminals to receive payments and perhaps geeks who just like new stuff. Truth is, bitcoin is not the only digital currency. There are 1000s of them,but it's the most known and valued. A lot of bitcoin users are gamblers and if you Gooogle, you will find 1000s upon 1000s of stories about people losing everything because they bought it at one price,but then it went down and they had to sell it to recover at least some. Those who bought bitcoin in 2014 for $1200 expected it to go up and unfortunately it went down and I know a few people who bought $100,000s worth of of bitcoins which later became worth 10 times less. So authors of this movie failed to provide all of this information to the viewer as they are clearly bias. Not even going to mention the 10 star reviews from those who've never reviewed anything - just makes me question the legitimacy of this documentary. If they truly had viewers interests in mind, they would include all the things I provided in detail instead of forcing the viewer to see how bitcoin is the solution.5/10

This film does a brilliant job of making the point why Bitcoin is a necessary entity in our modern existence. People need options...people need a bonafide way to hold their governments accountable, and this film shows why bitcoin is that tool of accountability. It's short, sweet, and doesn't skip a beat. This film is a must watch and must show. Sit down and dig in. And, Optimus Prime does the narration...j/k, but seriously go watch it. If you are your friends have any friends that have gone completely bonkers over bitcoin, then this film will show you why. It isn't heavy on the technical jargon and makes bitcoin a very approachable topic of interest. You will leave this film with a much better understanding for the need of a digital economy.

This documentary takes a sobering look at the central role that money plays in the world. It is not just a lesson on the near- limitless potential of Bitcoin and blockchain based technology, but it is fundamentally a film about money and exchange. The film tells the story of money and bitcoin by tracing the origins of money back to the age of barter. From here, through use of various forms of footage and clever editing, the film tells stories of power, control and deceit. It traces the rise of the Medici and others through the history of banking and commerce. The End Of Money is as enjoyable as it is informative. It uses economic, political and cultural history to place bitcoin into a context that does much to explain its importance. This film is perfect for anyone looking to understand bitcoin and what the central and commercial banks have done to our money. Enlightening and shocking.
