The greatest movie ever made..!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin achieves the opposite of what one would assume its goals are.Right from the start we're greeted with the Winklevoss twins. Two men best known for 'suing the Facebook guy'. After a moment is taken for them to share their attempts to enrich themselves further at the expense of others the movies narrator goes on to tell the audience he's recently spent a great many bitcoins on a Butterfly Labs bitcoin miner.Butterfly labs is one of the many now bankrupt or under investigation companies we're invited to take a look at.The Rise and Rise is documented proof that the bitcoin landscape is made up of thieves, lairs and bad actors. The few people who get involved 'out of interest' are sheep that get eaten alive by the wolves at the top of the pyramid scheme.Notable people interviewed: Charlie Shrem - now a convicted felon due to money laundering.Erik Voorhees - claims to have renounced his American citizenship and fled to Panama after selling an illegal gambling company.Gavin Andresen - employed by the notoriously corrupt 'Bitcoin Foundation' (of which many members have stepped down) to maintain the Bitcoin code.Mark Karpeles - Amazing visionary who unfortunately got caught up and had his name sullied by the vicious money hungry Bitcoin community.Roger Ver - Bitcoin Missionary.This documentary is well worth watching, it's comedy gold.

For the inquisitive minds about the inherent flaws in our current monetary system and how money works in general, this simplified overview of Bitcoin is truly refreshing. Many complex issues about the protocol is explained in laymen terms to enable any family member to appreciate the invention for what it accomplishes. The internet of money has been spawn and naysayers would one day regret not having explored this invention beyond first misconceptions. This documentary provides a great intro into the early adopters' lives and why the community is blossoming in a time when the rest of the world is sinking deeper into depression and debt. It invites one to look beyond mainstream misrepresentations and that it is only a black market currency. Great documentary indeed. Would recommend it to any friend.

Even though I already know a lot about the amazing technology behind Bitcoin, I still enjoyed this documentary. The film gives insight into the early days of mining, and the drama that happened with mtgox and bit instant. The interview with the CEO of mtgox was interesting. I highly recommend it to anyone that is interested in Bitcoin. It's sad that there are so many people out there that don't understand the full extent of the innovation that has happened with the block chain. Hopefully this documentary will help people understand that Bitcoin is much more than just a new form of money. It's a whole new way of thinking.

Bitcoin may sound very abstract, but it's carried by people of flesh and blood. This movie follows some of the main players in the first years of Bitcoin. See their excitement, share their passion. Sometimes they stumble or fall, but they keep going. In between, you get to learn how Bitcoin works and what it's all about.If you want to know more about Bitcoin, but are less of a techie and more of a peoples person, this movie is for you.The only thing I missed in the part that covered 2013 is the developments in China. I can imagine that it was a bit 'out of scope' for the makers, but it felt like an omission to me, especially since its relevance for the November rally. But other than that, a great movie!
