You can pay with bitcoin on theprotocol.tv here:

https://www.theprotocol.tv/bitcoin-the-end-of-money-as-we-know-it/

where can i watch it for free

Sweet!  Bookmarked, I don't have time right now but I will watch it when I get the chance.  It looks like a good film.

i presume that torrent is your friend

but someone should upload it on youtube, like they did with the rise and rise of bitcoin, which at first was not available either

will buy it and watch it on protocol.tv in the next days, thanks!

$6 for the movie? I read that the director spent 2 years reasearching and filming it so I think it's a justified purchase.

Just wait a few days and it'll likely be all over warez and torrent sites. I'm interested in watching it but wont be paying for it either. I think the title of the doc is a bit ominous, though.

Finally another documentary that has something to do with bitcoin! The trailer is appealing, though I hope that the movie is also great. Bookmarked for future purposes.

Its already on the pirate bay being shared among about 60 people atm....

Great trailer it was good enough for me to pay for it and help out this type of production and I know already what I'm going to be watching this weekend, I'm sure we are going to get to see a good amount of articles for this one.

6$ ??
i want to watch this movie but for free

Really, 6 bucks is fair. I don't come down where you work and ask for free big macs why should you get free movies?

Frankly I'm surprised the producers aren't using ascribe.io to distribute it. I guess at this point, as long as people see the movie it's all good. I'll watch this later tonight and tell y'all what I think

Hopefully, it would soon be available on torrent... but please allow the producers to raise the production cost first.

I know right, you could always pay 9 usd and download it and share it with your friends, since vimeo doesnt take bitcoin you could buy it here https://www.theprotocol.tv/bitcoin-the-end-of-money-as-we-know-it/

It's already on the bay. magnet:?xt=urn:btih:09a0e20defeb98eeec664630d615c3370288993e

With some free virus ?

they accept bitcoin ?
no.

so, they don't have my 6 USD ... simple.  ::) like apple, vimeo, XXX porn ...  :-*

The trailer is really cool, but as indicated, how can you make a documentary, with this title, and then not accept bitcoin?

No. It's an 513.8 MiB MP4 file. You should always scan it before you run it.
Also viruses won't be an isue if you use Linux.

Me too, but I think $6 is just a fair amount to pay for a movie, If we want to support bitcoin, then we must also support the people who is continuously pushing bitcoin forward, spreading awareness to the public. Wait a few days and hopefully the documentary will be out on torrent sites.

They accept bitcoin here https://www.theprotocol.tv/bitcoin-the-end-of-money-as-we-know-it/

It already is. Check my previous posts.


If you bothered to open the link you would see that they accepted bitcoin.

Kinda confused on what you are saying mate. What are you pertaining to? The movie being out on torrent sites?

Cool another Bitcoin documentary. I'll find a torrent and watch it later. Looks like a good movie.

That is correct it's out and you can watch it right now.
Here is the magnet:?xt=urn:btih:09a0e20defeb98eeec664630d615c3370288993e

you could use the protocol.tv link to vatch the documentary paying in bitcoin, is pretty fast and it has good quality https://www.theprotocol.tv/bitcoin-the-end-of-money-as-we-know-it/

I've heard good thingd about this documentary, can't wait to buy it with BTC and watch it when I get home.

super !

For god's effin' sake... it's $6 !!!
Is it really so hard to support authors and their hard work?

Watching now, paid with Bitcoin. 

It's only .02

$6 is too much, i used to pay that to go to the cinema, if they we're reasonable and put $1 or $2 i would pay to watch it

If we do not support original content and bitcoin adoptation in a store, where does it leave the coins you are so dearly HODLing? If it were a big commercial produced movie from a big corp movie business only putting in remakes of boxoffice hits, then I would say, let them feel the hurt and do not pay, but this is a member of the Bitcoin community, support them please!

Pay up the  BTC 0.02 for this movie, how bad do you want to take BTCitcoin to the moon? Support it, spend it and make it work!

paid and watched it.

i liked it, you can show it to all those friends, who wonder why bitcoin happened and what it is.

Hopefully food will be soon available on torrents.  >:(

But $6 for a fucking Big Mac is OK?

Wow, I am really amazed about all the people who are shouting for a free link. Not that I pay for everything I watch, but I at least don't make it that obvious.
With this film, I am not sure, if I should pay. I just don't like streaming things. Can I download it using Bitcoin?

You could pay for the stream, not watch it and then torrent it?

a lot more than that was put into Game of Thrones, and yet.....

I recently saw the documentary "IamSatoshi" and it was a good watch, but I usually enjoy more entire lectures without any edits than films. For example id rather watch 1 hour of AAntonopoulos talking about consensus mechanisms. Hope this film is good.

.. over a hundred million people worldwide subscribed to HBO, all paid for that.

How many people will watch a documentary about bitcoin?

only the bitcoin truly believers(not those that want bitcoin to dump for fiat for sure) and some random delusional nerd

then the fact that you need to pay will make it even worse for someone outside of the niche world of bitcoin, interested to look at it

there is still this bad sentiment sorrounding bitcoin which is really tough to beat for "recall" the masses

But we have this:
http://www.reddit.com/r/GirlsGoneBitcoin

and this:
http://www.moneysedge.com/newsimage?id=144

Shouldn't people already love Bitcoin?

True, but even many more millions didn't pay for a subscription to HBO and just download or stream the programs. I think TV or films are likely going to have to get their revenue from other sources eventually as over time people will stop paying for any media or going to the cinema or what not. I'll watch this documentary but with everything else I really can't afford to pay for every tv or movie or album I watch/listen/download.

Yes, theprotocol.tv lets you stream and/or download the movie for $6.

if they were trying to capitalise on profit they should have done a documentary on something else
even before i heard about this i would have known that a community such as bitcoin  (geeks and hackers and programmers  and scammers etc )
are going to rape my work for free via torrent or any other means they can

i doubt theres a single bitcoin user who doesnt know how to download a movie with utorrent etc so if something is available free ,most will take it for free
and keep their $6 for something less easy to steal ( like a big mac etc )

i am glad its being distributed for free because it helps awareness and adoption which is the overall goal and i will donate some btc anyway simply because of that
but i a not a bit surprised they will make hardly any cash from it since people dont think twice about downloading hollywood blockbusters that cost tens of millions to make
and actually are popular with a mainstream audience,  bitcoin which cannot possibly expect any  more than the latest tarantino movie which is also going to get shared millions of times for free before its even out on dvd etc

They do accept it

No, you really don't. Do you even internet bro? Everything is free! Movies, music, games, tv shows, books, whatever, almost everything is there for the taking. A policeman is never coming to your door, I promise.

Here, my gift to you (magnet:?xt=urn:btih:bd905dd746f006ebc338f8758760601a52e06f50&dn=Bitcoin_-_The_end_of_money_as_whe_know_it-ANONRIP&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.coppersurfer.tk%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fexodus.desync.com%3A6969) https://thepiratebay.la/torrent/12124758/Bitcoin_-_The_end_of_money_as_whe_know_it-ANONRIP

The 16th message on this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1122299.msg11880811#msg11880811) already had a valid magnet link.
But yeah, if some cannot download a bittorrent client and use the clipboard, they better pay the 6$.

watched it yesterday. nice docu but i have to mention that only 30% of the docu is about bitcoin. the rest is about money creation and money history.

It is strange that authors of that documentary did not put it on youtube for everyone. Instead they use pay-per-view sites. Which will undoubtedly make LESS profit for them than Youtube ads would bring.
I would understand this decision if topic was so interesting and mainstream but this is documentary! A Documentary about quite niche world of cryptocurrency, and you need to pay for it? Bad idea.

I love Bitcoin, but "documentary" is a bit of a stretch here. This is bitcoin propaganda, which is not the same as saying it's untrue.

I don't think it's propaganda. Propaganda has always a negative connotation to it with half-truths, this is a pretty decent documentary.

I am sure they had costs of making this film they need to cover. And, I think, if it helps public adoption of bitcoin and the further understanding of money, they should earn back that at least. However they see fit, YouTube ads, pay-per-view, or otherwise.

Anyway, thanks everyone that has shared links!  :)

i think you wanted to say that about bad propaganda, what means that people trying to influence others for bad things, but there is good propaganda also

We all know you're not going to pay for it. I don't see the difference between asking for a free link and trying to cover up the fact that you may or may not pay for it. If people want it for free let them try watch it for free, for the others let them pay for it.

This kind of program is exactly like what they show on Discovery, History Channel, etc. 

Good production quality, easy to understand for everyone.

Thanks for the information of the movie, I never heard of it and would have missed it. Now it's safely downloaded - and I will donate money to them if I find it being a quality product.

I have seen it for a while and i think is a great documanter. gz! very nice work  :)

The docu is decent. give the guys who devoted two yrs of their life some credit & and Do not be gready about a few bucks ------ Keep the bigger frame in mind because this production is defenitely supporting the cause.

dont be greedy basterds, welcome those who support us, this documentary is supporting bitcoin ad much als possible.

Respect for the team that created it. Good work.

I have already pay it

::)

Why is everyone such a cheap bastard. 

This person spent 2 years and over $10,000
to make this movie and everyone just wants
to take, take, take.

He actually spent $80,000.

Hi folks, I'm Ben, production assistant on the doco.

It looks like there's a bit of debate going on about the price of the film and the style of the film. I'll try my best to answer your questions.

When we started this project 2 years ago we ran the initial funding through Kickstarter. We raised 20K and grew our support from the strength of the campaign's success. The rest of the funding came from the Director, Torsten Hoffmann, personally investing a far more than the crowdfunding provided. We understand that for some people, myself included (being a student), $6 can be costly. If this is the case, perhaps after 'acquiring' the film and watching it, based on your enjoyment, you could give us a BTC donation.

We tried to make this as affordable as possible. At the same time we do wish to make a return on the investment. 2 years spent producing a bitcoin doco is certainly enjoyable work, but it's also nice to get paid for it!

Now on the style and quality of the film. From the outset we knew we wanted to make a film for the uninitiated, the newbies, those without a firm grasp on money as it is often misunderstood (money is the root of all evil, money corrupts etc etc). We DID NOT want to make a bitcoin doco for the bitcoiners. If you have been following bitcoin for some time and are familiar with it there's likely nothing in this film about bitcoin that you'll learn. However, there are definitely lessons on money, banks, the Fed and other institutions and technologies that may surprise you. The film attempts to show why bitcoin matters in a historical, economic and political context. We could have approached it from a different angle, showing the potential of blockchain based tech and how it can transform the way we exchange, contract, vote etc. But this would tell the uninitiated little about why bitcoin matters to so many people (the unbanked/underbanked) and what the government (and banks) have done to our money. We think this perspective on bitcoin is due some attention.

Hopefully you all enjoy the film and can participate in wider bitcoin discussion with friends, family and colleagues. Please share the film!

Cheers

Ben

Tell your boss, he should have used the available channel like youtube to make the return. In addition, audience can always donate if they like the film.

I'm watching it tonight and paying in Bitcoin. Six bucks ain't that much.

Hey, I appreciate the hard work that went into it, and I paid the $6 to see it, because I can afford it. I was just saying that it would have been better, if it was made availlable for FREE.

 {The community has shown in the past, that they support the people, who support them.... So donations and Tips would have been the better option}

I would have also included Bitcoin payment from the start... Even though this documentary is meant to target non-bitcoiners, most of us bitcoiners wants to download it, to convince other non-bitcoiners around us.

I am happy to pay $6 for this, because I appreciate the contribution this makes to our community.... I am just sad that a big part of poor people, who needs this most, could be excluded from this. 

Anyone going to arrange a "group viewing" for this, to bring the poor people or the Greek people into our Bitcoin community?

I feel the same way. If the goal of the video is spreading bitcoin awareness the price seems too high

Read somewhere else that the goal was to reach 100M views, in that case the price is indeed high unless they are considering non-paid views.


Ben's suggestion is very fair. If you got it through torrent and want to show some appreciation, just donate whatever amount you feel is right.

they have a donation page for different coins here
https://theendofmoneyasweknowit.wordpress.com/2014/05/04/donate/

awesome doco

thanks for sharing this. dont let the greedy posters who don´t want to pay six bucks for a decent documentary tell you that you are greedy. 

your docu is fantastic, i am impressed. don´t let the naysayers bother you.

Hey guys, is it possible to send a prepaid link to a friend to watch it ?   

Also, the 24hour countdown restriction is inappropriate..

isn't this based on account, you can just create another account on vimeo buy the thing and send your account to your friend

Didn't notice vimeo accepts bitcoin..  do they ?  either way, I don't like the 24h limitation.. I think they lose some customers by the limitation..

You can pay with bitcoin and download the whole thing here https://www.theprotocol.tv/bitcoin-the-end-of-money-as-we-know-it/

he could also pay $6 to the donation address and send his  friend  a link to view the torrent
im amazed nobody has uploaded it to youtube yet...........

I wouldn't mind paying a small fee to watch it...but I would like to see a small preview of it before I buy it.

https://thepiratebay.la/torrent/12124758/Bitcoin_-_The_end_of_money_as_whe_know_it-ANONRIP

Happy Xmas,

Your Welcome

Pay them if you can afford it

It already was on Youtube.. got removed pretty quick.  either way 1080p torrents are already on the net.

   This is not a movie I have watched yet but it is something I look forward to watching in the future thanks for sharing

Hey, Let's honor these guys and gals with donations and tips... if this is a success, they would most probably do another one. It's after all to our benefit too if it succeeds.

I figured it would make it's way to the torrents, but I hope the people downloading it, would show their appreciation, by donating to the cause.

Did I miss the info on how much of the budget for this was crowdfunded? $80 000 <-- Was that the production cost or the amount crowdfunded?

well at lease donate a few a dollar in bitcoin to the producers for a nice documentary, if you value the production and if you had a good time watching im sure everything in this forum could afford 1 dollar in bitcoin.

Torsten Hoffman on Filmmaking, Monetary History, and "Bitcoin: The End of Money As We Know It"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcQoA1Kx78M

That was a pretty good interview. Thanks for sharing.

darknet and rise and rise of bitcoin were more appealing to me

Very interesting point of view but I don't think that bitcoin will end the money we use everyday. First I must see the documentary to discuss more concretely but as it is presented seems to fatal. Bitcoin, I think, it will be a good substitute of all the other currencies and good one but not the substitute of any of those. Second there are e few lacks in bitcoin like the electronic form for example (to tell one) that don't allow it to be used like the normal money.

Anyhow I'm curious to see the documentary first.

Good hope. It will be a great thing if this it will be true. But I have my doubts. I can't tell nothing without seeing the documentary but to tell that bitcoin will sign the end of money as it is known it is a big deal and a big declaration. I don't believe this. maybe bitcoin is a revolution but it has its "defects" which cannot be repaired because are embedded on its nature. No one can buy an ice cream with bitcoin and it will be hard to do this in the future.  ;) There is not to many bitcoins to cover the needed money for all the world. And other things.

Anyhow bitcoin is a very big thing. And it is bigger the technology which is under it. This is a big force for him. And for sure it will have a brilliant future ahead of it.

The producer asked if he could use some of my footage of operating a bitcoin ATM a few months back. I donated them the footage for free.

I hope the production is good and I can't wait to watch it!

If I pay for the Film using Bitcoins on TheProtocol.TV, do I have the option to download it, or is it just for on-demand view via net?

on TheProtocol.TV just on-demand view
you can purchase the HD download for $7 here https://bundles.bittorrent.com/bundles/bitcoin-the-end-of-money
vimeo also has download for $10

Yeah, it's a pity that TheProtocol.TV only offers the on-demand view, I like to have it on my drive ... therefore I went and bought it on vimeo, used the DECENTRALIZE coupon for discount (unfortunately they don't accept Bitcoins...). Just watched it. It's professionally made and liked it. It's a bit hard to follow in the begging with all the facts about the history of money (would probably need like 10 separate documentaries to explain all about it). I really liked some interesting facts and quotes, some inspiring thoughts. It's also a nice add-on to other documentaries like "The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin" ... go ahead and watch it ;)

I'll be sure to check out the video, if it looks promising, I'll go from there, thanks for sharing.

Hi. Valerian from TheProtocol.TV here. It's $5.99 for both the download and stream. Once you purchase, there's a big DOWNLOAD button on the bottom of the stream. Thanks for your feedback. We'll make it more apparent in our next iteration. Cheers! -v.

$6 is fair, if you had choice to choose the physical books, that would be at least $10.
2 years of research, worth it i have a such book under my computing table, it charged me $10.

This is the kind of worthy information that the general public needs on bitcoin.
Not the hyped Silk Soad headlines that gives bitcoin a bad name.
Kudos on a great doc, and urge all fellow bitcoiners to contribute a micro donation in btc.

Thanks, but you really REALLY need to accept Bitcoin payments. Especially for a piece like this, but in general as well.

It's free, safe, fast, worldwide, instant -- basically there's nothing but benefits from accepting Bitcoin. And if you use a Bitcoin payment processor like coinbase or bitpay you can receive the amount directly in USD (although obviously I would recommend you to keep the BTC instead).

Sorry 'bout that, my bad  ;)

it is not free, where I can watch it for free ??

You CAN pay with Bitcoins on TheProtocol.TV ... https://www.theprotocol.tv/bitcoin-the-end-of-money-as-we-know-it/


Buddy, nothing is for free. Buy it on https://www.theprotocol.tv/bitcoin-the-end-of-money-as-we-know-it/ for approx. 0.023 BTC and thus support the authors of this nice documentary.

Oops, missed that! I stand corrected. Thanks!

it can help in bitcoin if it will share for free for publicity purpose..
only those who know what bitcoin already is the one who will watch it..
i hoped it will be shared for free someday

I'm sure it will be shared for free someday by the authors. But first we (the ones that we are already aware of Bitcoin importance) have to support the authors of this documentary by aping the small fee for purchasing the video. Then it can be released for free for the masses ... nobody can't make such a professional documentary for free, and thus the authors have to be supported.

ihope when the money ends and bitcoin soon will rise im hoping that we wont get blackouts and free internet wooo .:)

The background music is way too loud.  The Director may have spent a lot of time researching it, but the final production sets the quality.

The OP didn't mention if this documentary is aimed at us, or the unconverted?

It's aimed for the clueless public.

Looking at the trailer, I think it's going to be $6 well spent. Cool to see some new Bitcoin documentaries being produced!

  Just Watching the trailer makes me want to watch. :) just like documentary on the Rise of Bitcoin.

when money is end then bitcoin will start sorry it is stated but not popular but after some years it will be famous. because the user of bitcoin will be increase day by day.

Do you know where I can download the movie using BTC?  I'd rather own than rent it, and I want to support the film maker.

Wow, trailer sucked me in....but, if I pay 6 bucks, I'm gonna want to have it awhile so that I can show my friends what I found.  Right?

you can watch it here for free  ;D
Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It (2015) (http://freepopularmovie.blogspot.com/2015/08/bitcoin-end-of-money-as-we-know-it-2015.html)

Yes.

Good flick....thought I knew everything, but learned some new stuff....nice!

where can I download the whole documentary and watch it for free?

This is a great documentary, not only in terms of explaining bitcoin but explaining the history of money which is where convos usually end up going anyway. There's a whole lot of backstory to arrive where we are today with cryptocurrencies and why their important. This movie makes that convo much easier.

Yup....watching it again!  When will it hit the mainstream media, you think?

you can watch it here for free  ;D
Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It (2015) (http://freepopularmovie.blogspot.com/2015/08/bitcoin-end-of-money-as-we-know-it-2015.html)

wow, i can watch online in that site with HD quality with low speed internet :o ??

Nice.  It needs to get on HBO now.  They have a nice On Demand Documentary selection.

great!  ;D
was added on my watchlist movie. i hope finding something on this movie

Don´t think that I will have the time to watch it, but it is nice to know such films as these are being made.

Anyone saw it already?

Watched it twice....awesome movie....very well made...prolly watch it again too!

Yes, it's a nice introduction to bitcoin and our current financial system, well produced.
Doesn't delve too deep in the technical aspects or ongoing developments

I'd also recommend the book "Digital Gold" by Nathaniel Popper if you want a more in-depth analysis and inside stories behind the rise of bitcoin.

Sweet!  Bookmarked, I don't have time right now but I will watch it when I get the chance.  It looks like a good film.

For bitcoin there are already to many books and materials. But I want to know something about Satoshi Nakamoto. can someone suggest rare things about him? If yes post here please the links. Thanks!

I will bookmark this movie. I am thinking how to may it more visible. I did not reach it only in the Bitcointalk and I am monitoring and watching number of sources regarding Bitcoin.

Always perfect for a documentary ...  :)
