Title: So when will we see a high budget Bitcoin movie?
Post by: Kprawn on December 15, 2019, 07:42:57 AM
I have seen several high budget documentaries, but a lot of low budget Bitcoin movies.

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BZDkyMTI2ZjgtY2EzMi00MTEwLWE1MTgtNDFkNTlkMDE0MmU2XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMjExMjI5NzI@._V1_SY1000_CR0,0,666,1000_AL_.jpg

This is one of the latest low budget movies I have seen on https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3295330/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 

There must surely be some early investor or whale or successful Bitcoin company that can sponsor a high budget Bitcoin movie? I know there are

high budget movies where Bitcoin is mentioned, but most of them puts Bitcoin in a criminal plot and it puts Bitcoin in a negative light. We need to

make a movie, where Bitcoin is the hero and where bitcoin is changing people's lives in a positive way.  ;)

Not all high budget movies put bitcoin on the criminal side, some of them are also promoting or saying something good about bitcoin. I can't remember the title of that particular movie but there's a fat guy that earns a fortune in bitcoin in that movie I completely forgot the title.

criminal plot if it's in your view or the views of people who see it, usually in the film bitcoin is used as a tool for crime, from your view bitcoin looks criminal, just as if you see the film people hire a hitman to kill people by paying with fiat cash, but why don't you say that fiat currency doesn't look negative either

bitcoin is only an object tool of the film itself, but it's also rather difficult to make films about bitcoin because bitcoin is used only as a tool and can't be called a role, maybe if in the movie it would be cool titled satoshi nakamoto why he makes bitcoin and what is the purpose, I think that the film will be great and cool, a matter of a little or a lot of budget doesn't really matter, sometimes a small budget can also produce the best film

Well, for the high budget movie one should be able to fund it and the funding will come from the big companies and the political leaders who are so keen on making bitcoins a mess and serving it to people .
I was really happy to hear about the news that bitcoins was gonna be used in a movie and all but it then ended up bad , it was all shown like bitcoins is the hub of illegal activities and normal money is safe , really ? Did someone care to check the fat checks in politicans pockets ?
I hope they dont have a movie about Bitcoins giving people false information.

It’s really hard to say when we will see high budget bitcoin movie. If any millionaire or billionaire (who became Millionaire or billionaire from bitcoin)  try to make high budget bitcoin movie then It's possible and will be interesting to watch.             
I am sure someone might be working on the same thought. By the way where can I see this movie online. Is it available on any of the streaming services?
I don’t know is it available in any streaming services or not.But you will find it in torrents.

My guess: When were talking about a high budget Bitcoin movie that somewhat accurately portrays it's history, then my guess is that when Bitcoin becomes a normal household name in a way that a good number people aren't looking at it as a scam or an investment scheme(which is still it's current public perception). Bitcoin being used in a criminal manner will sell a lot more today knowing that the misconception of "bitcoin is only used by criminals" is still there.

the goal of people making films is usually to make a profit, maybe they think bitcoin-themed films aren't very profitable, because bitcoin is not very understood by many people, even in my environment only a few people understand about bitcoin.

I think Bitcoin will be definitely fully involve in film industry in near future and it will really help to make big budget movies easily there is no doubt that there are many talented writers in film industry and their brilliant stories are still waiting to become a movie because the lack of producers so maybe in near we see a platform where movies will be made with Bitcoin budget.

People really don't need to fully understand bitcoin for film directors/companies to profit off them though. When talking about documentaries, sure probably. But movies? Nah. Just create a story on how a drug dealer uses bitcoin to sell his stuff; and add some CIA stuff and FBI pursuing him with guns and helicopters and stuff, and you're golden.

It is like giving a twist so the netizens will at least relate themselves to the story even though they don't actually understand the use of bitcoin. Then after that scene where the drug dealer is being pursued, its uses will also be featured, it is like showing the viewers the real function of it.

I have some insights regarding this. First, being high budget means that the people here are those known for creating such movies, or is popular and influential. And popularity goes with politics. These well-known personalities maybe wants to avoid political problems with the government upon publishing such movie.

Another thing is that investors, are investing on something that they would profit. That's why they're called investors. And as we speak right now, there's not really much of a market of movie-goers that would want to watch something about Bitcoin, rather than those who know about it, and enthusiast, which composes of a small group in the society.

One thing to also note here is that creating such movie, it would be difficult to build the plot. If it would be portrayed as good, then better have an extraordinary, true to life happening that could be documented/re-enacted. If in case it's a documentary, there's not much people to be involved with, and the main founder of Bitcoin isn't even known!

That's why I think only enthusiasts on smaller budgets are doing such movies as of now. Lack of adoption, and therefore appreciation, mainly are the reasons why there's no such film made yet.

Apple is doing great without movies about it, never saw a positive movie about Exxon but those dividends  8)

We're past the time when a movie would make a difference, the age of nascar doge cars is over. What we need is daily real-life usage not likes on youtube.

Well, an Utopian movie in the future, where everyone is using bitcoin to pay for goods and services, will surely be beneficial to Bitcoin adoption.

We might even see the Bitcoin Blockchain being used for a totally transparent voting system and also some Smart contracts being used. They

can even show people how future hardware wallets will work (Paying with a Bitcoin wallet on a wrist watch or even with your reading glasses.)

Also cars with built-in hardware wallets that automatically pays for parking with the latest self driving technology. There are endless possibilities

in a futuristic scenario. ( The plot can be Cyber criminals trying to Hack Bitcoin and failing )  ;)

I'm with stompix here: that would be propaganda. It'll probably be good for Bitcoin adoption, but that's not what movie makers care about. They want to make money, and unless it's a documentory about the history of Bitcoin, I don't think making Bitcoin the main subject is going to earn them money.

That's going to be a very boring movie. Seeing someone pay for his groceries?

I've seen Bitcoin/crypto mentioned in several movies and TV-series, and when it's appropriate to the plot that's a great thing. But there's no need to force it.

If they ever figure out who Satoshi is, THEN we'll get the high-budget Hollywood movie, complete with the thrilling story about how bitcoin was launched and how the developers worked in secret and fought to keep their identities private and what happened to them when they saw bitcoin's price rise but didn't dare touch the coins for fear of being outed.

Otherwise, there isn't really much of a plotline!

I don't think there could be a movie on bitcoin exactly. There might be a movie on Satoshi Nakamoto or some early investor who made billions out of bitcoin. But as information about satoshi is limited there is no chance of a movie. Coming to documentaries I surely think in the next bull run this currency would come in the eyes of biggest informative documentaries maker. Moreover the problem is what will be the content of such a movie. 2 hour documentary is solely required to make people understand the concept of blockchain and bitcoin where would the other information and content would be shown?

I would personally like to see a movie trying to show how Bitcoin is created, what was the idea behind it and who is actually the person behind the alias Satoshi Nakamoto. I think there might be a very interesting story to tell, along with some good actors and some of the world's top directors the film could certainly contribute to the popularization of Bitcoin and portray it in a positive light.

But movies are mostly made for profit, there is actually very little art left in this industry. However, one day when Bitcoin is worth a lot more than it is today, I have no doubt that someone will make a high-budget movie.

We need a movie that will discuss how the crypto works and how it was designed for the future purpose but ofcourse  people need to make a story that attract the people's interest. As long as there were no interest from the public producers wont take interest also.

i agree it will be hard to make a high budget movie without the creator for the plotline
if bitcoin will have a movie someday i think it will be a fiction about future or time travel
if someone will make a movie about whales in bitcoin or deepweb and hacker that will not bring positive outcome

a serial like mr. robot that indirectly promotes bitcoin especially at the early season where bitcoin often mentioned , i think it could be a reference for the further bitcoin movie projects, i really like the way the director sam esmail send the messages about how cryptocurrency space could actually help our financial system , not to mention that he also demonstrates how bitcoin could be abused, that is just realistic.

i wish there a movie version of this mr.robot serial especially if they put blockchain technology as their main theme.

there already have been many high budget movies that mention bitcoin

there already have been many high budget tv shows that mention bitcoin
https://tvseriesfinale.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/startup-crack-canceled-renewed-590x295.jpg
if people are looking for ways to promote brand bitcoin to get the name into peoples minds. its already happened.
if people only care about a pump and dump of getting people to buy just because they should buy.. sorry but your not thinking or caring about bitcoin.

people that only care for the pump are the ones looking for a bitcoin exit. sorry its true because all you care about is the fiat valuation because all you desire in the end is alot of fiat

true bitcoiners want more transaction utility. and know that more transaction utility will cause more usefulness, which will cause more REAL adoption of people that actually want and need bitcoin for BITCOIN purposes. not fiat purposes.

whenever i see people just screaming blue murder that bitcoin needs more adverts. all i see is that person being the one that is willing to sell and cause a price drop when the price reaches their goal target.
and the coins being sold being handed to multiple people who the want to sell at a target. in the end its just causing an increasing amount of people wanting to sell when they get emotional

bitcoins value should rise due to its function and utility not due to some tv advert
utility increase= strong sustainable value increase
advert/propoganda= temporary hype fake speculation non-sustainable value

Yeah, speaking of high-budget (or at least, not low-budget) movies 'Crypto'  (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8563452/)comes to my mind. I haven't watched it, so I don't know whether it's against some cryptos or against Bitcoin, but judging by the trailer it's exactly the kind of movie you've described: that is, the one enforcing the stereotype that crypto is used by criminals. A movie distributed by Lionsgate and having Kurt Russell in the main cast got terrible reviews and was only released in 164 theaters. Unfortunately, it's impossible to find the info about the budget, but the movie looks like a complete disaster, fortunately.

a guy that audits companies fiat accounts is hired to audit a company that is believed to be evading taxes in his old hometown. he meets up with old friends that mine bitcoin in a walk-in fridge at the back of a bar/pub. and ask that friend to help audit the company because it appears the company being audited is usng bitcoin to launder its money.
urns ut the laundering is linked to some shady blackmarket and hostages are taken and threats are made to stop investigating the company or else.
bit of action occurs, some people die some run around fearing their life including the auditors father(kurt russell) who was kidnapped.

I cant remember any movie involving super stars from Hollywood. I am sure in near future Hollywood would release block bluster movie which can involve Bitcoin and crypto trading . However there are few documentaries already avaible on internet but I don't find them thrilling.

Yes it is deliberately plotted as a negative thing so people are affected and assume bitcoin is part of a crime. To be honest that is one of their ways to destroy bitcoin. But unfortunately films like that rarely get good ratings because most of the storylines are too complicated to watch for people.

Reading through the sub 2013 replies on this forum is much better quality time than a movie about Bitcoin can provide. How can you not have a good time reading through speculation threads where people thought that Bitcoin would rekt a lot of people having bought at $10 for example.  :D

I probably wouldn't watch a movie about Bitcoin because the trailer would suck so hard that I don't want to waste more time on it than I already have. We already know the main narratives of movies about crypto; pump n dump and dark nets. Having a higher budget doesn't change anything on that front.

Also, the average joe interest in such a movie highly depends on what cycle we're in. Good luck trying to get people to watch that movie during a bear market.

So far we have not yet, but I'd love to see a movie created by Warner Bros or Universal Pictures and stars big star like Keanu Reeves, but I want to be the story non fictional and dwells on the fact about Bitcoin and not something that people will think that Bitcoin is hard to understand and only for tech person, I hope to see this kind of movie soon.

Hollywood launched a film called "Crypto" this year with Kurt Russell and Luke Hemsworth as the main roles, we are quite familiar with their big names. But in general, still using conspiracy plots of crime which still tends to visualize misconceptions with crypto itself, if many large films position crypto only as a negative tool then it makes no difference to fud in my opinion. so far only documentaries have made the opposite and tend to be softer.

Don't even mention that shit. Crypto is not a bitcoin movie it just uses the name because it's catchy and not many people know what it is but they know it's that sophisticated shit they mention in the news about terrorists, black markets and such. Crypto is repeating mainstream lies about bitcoin and it's a shit movie even for the general audience.
The best part about it is the general audience did not get fooled. The movie was a box office failure making only 20k USD worldwide.

Exactly what I would like to see.

  • The conversations that has been had here on Bitcointalk
  • The famous "if you don't believe it... I don't have the time to convince you" quote
  • Satoshi going into hiding
  • The S2X controversy
  • the list goes on

I almost don't care if it becomes over dramatized(as long as it's not misleading) as most movies does this anyway, but I want to watch something that's going to bring a tear to my(and a lot of people here's) eyes. Definitely hope we get to see one in our lifetime.

Feels like I wanna download it already. But yes it portrait BTC being used by criminals which is why it doesn't help promote BTC. Can't say its political but its hard to promote crypto, the documentary which supposedly looks at cryptocurrency in every angle are sometimes purposely not mention the good sides.

If there is a high budget movie to be created, it should be directed by popular director at least probably involves big hollywood names and comedy genre as well. A netflix movie would be best so everyone has the time to check in on the upcoming movies.

its okay if they put a disclaimer before the movie starts " saying that all event , characters , and story are all fictional " so that people will not assume that btc is bad in a real life .

its also normal that btc  starts with low budgeted film or documentaries because this is where unpopular characters or actors also start but eventually after they become noticeable in the public , that is the start of thier fame and they are now being sponsored by big companies  to create a high quality movie  .

I have seen many bitcoin movies and shorts where it was talking about bad things and good things.

It is not about being bad or good but advertising for people to know more about them.
Does not need to have a high budget to become a good movie if you are asking about that.

It has just to represent bitcoin in a way most of the new people can see it's true cons and pros and potentials.
And be informative that bitcoin is not something to use without being worried about the scammers and bad things.

I think we newd to thank them for creating documentaries movie about bitcoin even the budget is very small the important with that is they are created a movie about bitcoin that help to it to become popular gets more investors to turn into higher value. Anyone can create a video about bitcoin with high budgets and that is really big help to bitcoin community I hope people who that is the people became millionaire because of bitcoin it's time to turn it back the benefits they got.

A lot of the films I've seen reviewed on the forum (there was one thread in particular that I'm thinking of) weren't in English, so I doubt I'd even have access to them even if I could get through them with subtitles. 

You'd think bitcoin would be a great plot point or even just a McGuffin, but I haven't seen bitcoin even mentioned in any recent film--and I watch a lot of movies.  Don't know why that is, but maybe it'll change someday.  I have to think that bitcoin's young age, i.e., the fact that it's only been around for ten years, and it's relative lack of mainstream acceptance and understanding, contribute to it being absent from film.

It is a good thing that there have been low-budget movies about it, though.  That's a start at least.  And I'm at least happy that all those documentaries came out, because some of them were really good.

If they ever figure out who Satoshi is, THEN we'll get the high-budget Hollywood movie, complete with the thrilling story about how bitcoin was launched and how the developers worked in secret and fought to keep their identities private and what happened to them when they saw bitcoin's price rise but didn't dare touch the coins for fear of being outed.

Otherwise, there isn't really much of a plotline!
i agree it will be hard to make a high budget movie without the creator for the plotline
if bitcoin will have a movie someday i think it will be a fiction about future or time travel
if someone will make a movie about whales in bitcoin or deepweb and hacker that will not bring positive outcome
Always want a quality bitcoin related movie but to think that if bitcoin is included as the main theme, it is most likely to be criminal, action or science fiction movie, or something used for bad deals, to make it more interesting...
Why not just a purely fictional story of Satoshi Nakamoto? I don't know if this will work but it can be a story of life of Satoshi. The story could just be a multiple story of what story does Satoshi could possibly have... I don't know either if you understand what I want to say but that's it. Don't mind this part...
It would be really great if Bitcoin were used in a movie that shows it's positive side, not only the bad side. It's not about the budget I guess. It can be a high budget but still showing the bad side of Bitcoin. It won't still help bitcoin's adoption.

Read this article! This one gives a list of 10 bitcoin related movies and documentaries which we can watch. It's hard to find them in torrents. If someone has a copy of these movies, can place them in a google drive and share with the community!

https://u.today/best-10-bitcoin-movies-and-cryptocurrency-documentaries-to-watch-in-2019

For a high budget movie, we need crowdfunding! Otherwise no one is going to invest so much money in to a film just to showcase a currency system or how it is making the lives easier around the world! It is only possible if the crypto community crowdfunds its majority of the costs! Actually Thymos can start such initiative through this forum!

I think it was natural since the bitcoin was not yet implemented in a lot of countries and to be honest not really so popular to a lot of people,
but since it was already recognized by a lot of countries and company I think it will soon going to happened it a movie about bitcoin or cryptocurrency or even blockchain.

I also hope Hollywood can produce films about bitcoin that spend a high budget and also use actors or actresses well-known. It definitely
helps bitcoin to be increasingly recognized by everyone in the world. But don't raise negative themes about bitcoin, I want a film that tells
the story of bitcoin trading, bitcoin mining, and tells the story of the creator of bitcoin satoshi nakamoto too interesting to make a film.
Hopefully in the future there can be realized there is a film with a high budget that discusses bitcoin but not about crime.

I don't really want them to make a bitcoin movie. Can you imagine how mainstream and shitty it would be? I bet you right now they will go on and on about crime drugs and the darknet and criminal underworld. So may regular people already see bitcoin as something dodgy die to ill education ignorance and laziness? Leave bitcoin to the supporters. Besides honestly how much fun can a movie about crypto possibly be? If it was based on an entire society based on crypto with firms and owners taking claims to different things in the form of coins instead of stocks and an actual working decentralized city. You don't pay tax sine you own a % of what you see around you instead ^^ You will later profit from it, unlike tax which only takes.

Agreed. We can tell the truth to newbies in the crypto community, talk about the market research that needs to be done before investing. I think we can make them financially more literate with a movie about btc. We have to fix the bad reputation of the cryptocurrency market!

Looking about the topic, I think it depends on what purpose we have for such a reason that we need to spend too much budget for a bitcoin movie. If we are to state facts and make the video informative, I think a movie will not be the most suitable to do it. Since we can create a documentary which in face needed not too much fund to make, and can deliver a very informative contents that will show and tell the world what bitcoin is. But for a good market adoption, it is enough for other movies to show that they have their characters paying using bitcoin. With a repetitive showcase of how bitcoin can be use, it can surely be imparted to the mind of the people will induce great market adoption.

This is one of the latest low budget movies I have seen on https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3295330/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0  

There must surely be some early investor or whale or successful Bitcoin company that can sponsor a high budget Bitcoin movie? I know there are

high budget movies where Bitcoin is mentioned, but most of them puts Bitcoin in a criminal plot and it puts Bitcoin in a negative light. We need to

make a movie, where Bitcoin is the hero and where bitcoin is changing people's lives in a positive way.  ;)

Bitcoin is just a form of money. It's not a hero. It's not interesting as the basis for a movie plot. Cowrie shells and gold coins don't make for good movie subjects, either.

Money is just a prop in movies. That's why you'll keep seeing Bitcoin in criminal contexts -- because criminals in movies can use it the same way they use briefcases full of cash.

While not exactly a movie or high quality production... I recently saw an episode on Cryptocurrency on the Netflix series Explained created by Vox.

It is quite short it was only about a 15 minute episode but it was really well put together and professional looking.
Here's a link...
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8457070/ (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8457070/)

Nevertheless, someone putting their hardwork and money to bring attention to bitcoin is good enough... we should be thankful for what we can get at the moment

Yeah, a friend told me upstairs. Bitcoin is not a folk hero. Bitcoin may be an alternative to the current economic system. But the problem is this. When an economy is established with Bitcoin, not everything will be good. It could be poverty again. Let's pay attention to the meanings we put on Bitcoin.

The low-budget films you mentioned are Indie Films (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_film) which are festival-level films and are not very well known.
but there are still many films about bitcoin that are more famous.

Bitcoin Hest (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4911780/) is one of the Feature Action films I've ever watched.
Although it does not specifically tell Bitcoin and there is no history of bitcoin, this film is able to introduce Bitcoin.
But in this film bitcoin is only a digital currency that will be massively broken.

Other films about bitcoin are mostly documentaries that introduce about digital currency Bitcoin.
There is one documentary that I am interested in,
which is Film  "Life on Bitcoin (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3910512/)" which tells about a married couple who survived for 100 days using bitcoin.
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMjRlYjZjODYtYTg2Ny00YzJkLTg1MTMtYWFkYjRiMzlmNTMzXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNzYzMjAyMzU@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_.jpg

For more specific films about bitcoin such as,
The Bitcoin Story,
I Am Satoshi,
Magic Money: The Bitcoin Revolution,
The Bitcoin Gospel,
The Rise And Rise of Bitcoin

and others.

Although I invest in Bitcoin, I rarely watch movies about Bitcoin. Making successful films costs a lot of money and sometimes returns are low. When Bitcoin entered the field of film, I think this is also a new direction to assert its position. Movies attract viewers.

Like what do we need Bitcoin movie for? It's not like Bitcoin is a novel or something like that. Bitcoin is a technology that will create a solution against the centralization of monetary value. We need an actual use that people would use in their everyday life! not a fantasy about it. Even if it's a movie about education, most people won't bother learning new technologies or fundamentals about a certain technology, they want something that they could use in an easy way.

the goal of people making films is usually to make a profit, maybe they think bitcoin-themed films aren't very profitable, because bitcoin is not very understood by many people, even in my environment only a few people understand about bitcoin.

People really don't need to fully understand bitcoin for film directors/companies to profit off them though. When talking about documentaries, sure probably. But movies? Nah. Just create a story on how a drug dealer uses bitcoin to sell his stuff; and add some CIA stuff and FBI pursuing him with guns and helicopters and stuff, and you're golden.

And that's how you make a bad impression of Bitcoin to the public. Good job!

I think those films who put btc into a negative light may have been manipulating the price so that people who invested with little knowledge may possibly withdraw their funds from their wallet. Then big players will have the opportunity to buy at a very cheap price again.
I was also wondering why it's hard for the movies to put btc in a good light.

Yes, I agree with you that most films are made with the aim of obtaining large profits. and I think a movie about bitcoin is less interesting to watch and can't make a big profit. because we know that only a few people understand about bitcoin. so until now there is no film producer who wants to make a film about bitcoin. and if you want to make a film about bitcoin there must be a party to fund and sponsor the film.

It would be ironic to see a huge movie on Bitcoin whose ticket prices would be bought by customers with fiat xD I guess, unless crypto gets heavily adopted, till then, we should not expect much hype in the mainstream media and entertainment because a huge section of the population doesn't know about crypto so probably won't even watch a movie on it making it a loss for the producers.

Maybe this is about people demand and pure of business that documentaries movies isn't something interesting for those who liked action movies or hero movies so that's why there is no people who willing to makes movies related to bitcoin with high budget because they fear the movies will be lack of interest and the investors will lost their money

unfortunately in the arts it does require capital to build it, so I don't think it's an artist who doesn't want to produce an art of the highest quality. but people who have the capital that makes an art must always follow the needs of the market so that they do not lose.

We see a lot of different movie were bitcoin is the antagonist which is one of the many reason why bitcoin and cryptocurrency is having a hard time dealing with those people which thinks and see that bitcoin and cryptocurrency is a bad source of money and etc. It would be great if there would be a movie in which the bitcoin will be the one who are the protagonist in order to change the image of bitcoin and cryptocurrency to the perspective of other people, and also I want to see a high class movie with a good plot twist in which we can see the different field of cryptocurrency and etc.

High-budget films still prioritize capitalist propaganda, as long as bitcoin is still inseparable from bad rumors as fiat killers, then no big director will dare to bring it to the surface more for scenarios of positive utility, and even in plot twist.

Many films always rely on the artist in the first projection, the system is the second fundamental part. There will be a lot of friction in censorship institutions if they try to emphasize crypto as a good fiat alternative, controversy will arise.

If whales want to sponsor a huge movie for everyone then it will go successfully, even it will not have that much viewers or this forum will support the movie. I think that's not bad. (lol) it is not that easy to make a film related or focus on bitcoin, it will take too long. because all bigtime producer dont have much idea about crypto. maybe, if bitcoin prices get too high then we can expect it.

I see there are some donations for charity here on the forum that might actually be effective, what if we consider to have a donation for bitcoin film as well, but we need to strictly verify the team who would organize the entire team, especially those that are really inclined to film making and at the same time, have some ideas mostly on the basic and deep concept of bitcoin and cryptocurrency. But with that, we also need the best story writer and director to make that project successful.

I'm not sure it qualifies as high budget, but there was a recent movie simply called "Crypto"

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8563452/

They have a few higher budget actors than other documentaries or movies related to crypto.
