Title: Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It | Full Movie Post by: GermanGiant on August 02, 2015, 11:09:08 PM Just stumbled upon it. Watch now... before it is taken down.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-weYwiDOSeg 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 1HwpSk7JHkiiJ7dCj7Sn6EXuKuFHJ7exLA Title: Re: Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It | Full Movie Post by: Meuh6879 on August 02, 2015, 11:36:39 PM only fool look movie on ... streaming media. ::)

Title: Re: Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It | Full Movie Post by: coinableS on August 03, 2015, 03:03:51 AM Is this a new movie? Has anyone watched it yet or any reviews?
What is the production quality like? Thanks for the link I will have to check it out later.

I ordered via bittorrent bundle 48 hours ago and haven't been able to get it to download. Will watch this then ask for a refund!

Title: Re: Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It | Full Movie Post by: coinpr0n on August 03, 2015, 06:12:13 AM Is this a new movie? Has anyone watched it yet or any reviews? What is the production quality like? Thanks for the link I will have to check it out later. Yes, it is new. The production quality is quite standard TV-level documentary IMO. Like something you would see on History Channel? I personally thought the narration style was a bit too close to those of Conspiracy Theory documentaries, but it was not bad. The content is good. Lots of history. No hiperbole about Bitcoin - quite level-headed. Some funny / light-hearted moments towards the end. A couple of the choices of interviewees are debatable. Worth a watch, no doubt. Sidenote: I would love to see it subtitled / dubbed in many languages. Title: Re: Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It | Full Movie Post by: EndTheFed321 on August 03, 2015, 06:17:03 AM Kool 8)

Title: Re: Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It | Full Movie Post by: Possum577 on August 03, 2015, 06:59:42 AM so its a documentary about bitcoin. I dont think this will be taken down but just in case it is i'll be downloading it so i can watch offline. thank you for posting the link. It'll be taken down because it was just released (in July) and was available for viewing at the Producer's website for $5.99 (accepting bitcoin only of course). The YouTube version is pirated! Official Link to the movie: https://video.popchest.com/videos/embedded/176 Link to the producer's website: http://theendofmoneyasweknowit.com/ Leave reviews here at IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4654844/ If you plan to watch the YouTube link version, the pirated version, be a good sport and float these guys a decent tip equal to the value you gained from the education and entertainment. And then tell a friend about it and give them the Official Link above so they can pay the full, yet very fair price. If you believe that the fiat currency system and banks have an unfair advantage, don't steal from the people who are trying to bring awareness to that unfair advantage.

Title: Re: Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It | Full Movie Post by: flock123 on August 03, 2015, 07:17:22 AM This is one good movie to be watched
I've watched in my friend's house ;D Title: Re: Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It | Full Movie Post by: Kprawn on August 03, 2015, 08:01:39 AM The production cost was +/- $80 000 and it was crowdfunded by the Bitcoin community. Let's not pirate stuff from our own community guys and gals.
I feel they concentrated a bit too much on the history of money and not enough on the difference Bitcoin can bring to solve some interresting problems currently in the financial world. This documentary is screaming for a follow up.... Part 2 : Cash is trash, Bitcoin is King ......to be continued. 8) Title: Re: Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It | Full Movie Post by: Amph on August 03, 2015, 10:15:43 AM so they released it for free, i remember it was available for $5 or 6, i think it's better for them if they can partner with youtube and gain on the viewers instead of charging money for it
cool movie nonetheless Title: Re: Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It | Full Movie Post by: TibanneCat on August 03, 2015, 12:24:06 PM If this is the case, perhaps after 'acquiring' the film and watching it, based on your enjoyment, you could give us a BTC donation. 1HwpSk7JHkiiJ7dCj7Sn6EXuKuFHJ7exLA Title: Re: Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It | Full Movie Post by: GermanGiant on August 03, 2015, 01:00:39 PM If this is the case, perhaps after 'acquiring' the film and watching it, based on your enjoyment, you could give us a BTC donation. 1HwpSk7JHkiiJ7dCj7Sn6EXuKuFHJ7exLA Thanks for the heads up. OP updated. :) Title: Re: Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It | Full Movie Post by: Denker on August 03, 2015, 01:30:31 PM so they released it for free, i remember it was available for $5 or 6, i think it's better for them if they can partner with youtube and gain on the viewers instead of charging money for it cool movie nonetheless No they did not. Have a look at the comments. The first one is from Torsten. He is not happy about that at all. But what shall he do? It's already available on torrents. And the more often the video gets deleted at youtube, the more often it will be uploaded. Furthermore I agree. His distribution model could have been better. Title: Re: Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It | Full Movie Post by: WhatTheGox on August 03, 2015, 01:30:53 PM Think the lead maker of this film is pretty pissed it got uploaded to youtube for free while its still for sale. Shouldnt imagine that link will be up for long.
Title: Re: Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It | Full Movie Post by: Monopoly on August 03, 2015, 01:33:25 PM Great documentary ... will see and will send my opinion and feedback
Title: Re: Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It | Full Movie Post by: bitcart on August 03, 2015, 01:38:26 PM Great documentary ... will see and will send my opinion and feedback Worthwhile documentary. They have some good shots. It's a shame that they're charging for it particularly as a lot of the footage was donated to them by various people on youtube. So it's disappointing that in turn they charge and they could've instead opted for their own youtube channel for revenue. Well worth a watch and consider donating for sure :) Title: Re: Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It | Full Movie Post by: BillyBobZorton on August 03, 2015, 01:56:32 PM Great documentary ... will see and will send my opinion and feedback Worthwhile documentary.

Well worth a watch and consider donating for sure :) Yeah, if the point is making Bitcoin more known the Documentary should be free and the money would come from advertisement revenue from Youtube adsense or whatever. By charging you just guarantee that few people see it compared to the ad alternative.

If you watch it to the end it asks for donations if you liked the film. Strangely though, it doesn't give a link or a QR code.

Hence, if they are asking for donation at the end, it is not going to the actual producer/director.

Title: Re: Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It | Full Movie Post by: franky1 on August 04, 2015, 01:48:21 PM Is this a new movie? Has anyone watched it yet or any reviews? What is the production quality like? Thanks for the link I will have to check it out later. i watched it the other night.. its definetly as described above.. teaching people all about how money works and how fiat has failed us, and does it in normal conversation form. (no geek speak). so it wont baffle you with science but is a good intro to economics and bitcoin. even i would be willing to tell noobs i know to watch it. as its not a blatant bitcoin advert. it shows the principles of the whole economy and why bitcoin is a better economic system. without going into any of the profitability stuff.

But the problem is people or at least average joes don't perceive that "fiat has failed on them". As long as people keep their salaries so they can buy bullshit on malls i don't see the necessity of BTC for them. The true potential of BTC is in less obvious ways and in developing countries.

Title: Re: Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It | Full Movie Post by: BitcoinPenny on August 05, 2015, 12:22:20 AM Just stumbled upon it. Watch now... before it is taken down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-weYwiDOSeg Thanks for the link. Watched it. Liked it. Learned a little more about the fiat system. Scary. ;) Regards, Christopher Title: Re: Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It | Full Movie Post by: futureofbitcoin on August 05, 2015, 12:40:13 AM honestly giving it more exposure on youtube might even increase sales. If it was really well made, anyway.
(Not implying that it isn't; I haven't watched it yet) Title: Re: Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It | Full Movie Post by: BIT-Sharon on August 05, 2015, 03:22:47 AM woo, this film comes true after a few discussion since last year. Bitcoins holders will embrace this film, how about others? Will they like to watch this, for it is a bit longer.
Title: Re: Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It | Full Movie Post by: dollarneed on August 05, 2015, 08:03:10 AM great documentary movie

I think it's impossible to profit from digital content anymore beyond ad revenue and donations. People are always going to pirate your stuff, it just too easy nowadays and people are too poor in general to spend money in anything that isn't 100% necessary. Unfortunately this is a fact and it is what it is. Most musicians make all the money from live events because people are pirating their music except the real fans. Title: Re: Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It | Full Movie Post by: ProfessionalGoogler on August 05, 2015, 06:07:04 PM It is a complete joke trying to sell documentaries in the first place, and he raised the funds from what I understand.. So being upset about it being uploaded on youtube is just ridiculous, this helps the Bitcoin economy, but hurts it by trying to take the video down.
I guess some people really are just in it for the money/greed when it comes to Bitcoin, even when they were given free money to create this documentary. Very sad. ::) |
