The fates of several of the movie’s bitcoin entrepreneurs are unlikely to send viewers rushing to exchange their dollars. But The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin nevertheless functions as an entertaining portrait of the unshakable optimism that governs what’s been called a financial Wild West. Read full review

Filmmaker Nicholas Mross takes a straight-ahead, even-handed approach to the controversial payment system. Read full review

Rather than the currency itself, the film's most compelling subject ends up being the separatist psychology of its self-regarding fanatics. Read full review

Greetings, I'm Dr. David Otto from Mississippi Eye Care, and I trade cryptocurrencies. During my cryptocurrency investments
I was taken advantage of, and $684,000 in BTC was stolen from me. Fortunately, I came across an internet post about a technological GOD: ULTIMATEHACKER JERRY, and I called him and worked with him just to give it a shot. To my surprise, he was able to recover $592,820 of what had been stolen from me, which I had never thought was possible, therefore I opted to share this with anyone who may require such aid, call ULTIMATEHACKER JERRY.

The bitcoin people all come across as motivated, sincere, and gifted in intelligence. The government and bank authorities interviewed do a commendable job too in outlining their positions.
The upshot of bitcoin, is it is a digital currency and unfortunately for bitcoin proponents, because the authorities want to regulate bitcoin as if it is a bank, they have to behave as if they are subject to these same laws without having the experience or background in actual banking. That is why Charlie Shrem suffers the indignity of being prosecuted for money laundering. Then there are other entrepreneurs in bitcoins that have lost control of their bitcoins to cybertheft or outright theft by insiders or those that have compromised the bitcoin exchange system. Unfortunately, for innocent investors that have lost their bitcoins there is no realistic recourse to ever get them back.
Through it all, you must admire the effort, drive, and determination that the overall bitcoin world has brought to bear and to demonstrate to us that the old-school way of banking, is not the only way that banking need be conducted, that digital currency with integrity of its currency has its place. Unfortunately, for bitcoin, and not discussed within this documentary, the powers-to-be will never allow bitcoin to succeed as a real alternative to present day banking, as modern day bankers will either force it out of business or co-opt it. There is no in-between.… Expand
