Title: [Documentary] Life on bitcoin is out
Post by: OmegaStarScream on June 30, 2017, 02:04:31 PM
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nkXhrwFoME
Official site: http://lifeonbitcoin.com/
The Documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LBV_igeviA

I haven't watched it personally but from the trailer, It looks good. The content from Youtube is not available for my country so I might need to wait or I will just try to make an account on VIDANGEL and see how things goes from there.

Nice trailer! Good job! Lovely video. I wonder why it was made country-restricted anyway cause it is necessary for this to go wide. I wasn't able to access the main documentary from my country as well except for the trailer, hopefully vpn would make me achieve that.

I had watched their official trailer in 2015, https://youtu.be/vmGDcDmu6ak

But this whole project goes back to 2013, https://youtu.be/ac1MOAyVQyo

It is available in my country, would check it out. It was funded through Kickstarter, 247 contributors raised $72,995, I guess that's why it took them almost four years to complete this documentary. In the last four years bitcoin has evolved a lot, a good time for release, it would get attention.

and you canīt even buy/stream it with bitcoin - the producers of this docu completed the circle of stupidity.

I thought they failed to reach their funding goals with the Kickstarter campaign, because we heard nothing since the project started back then. We

have not seen any good Bitcoin documentaries since "The Rise And Rise Of Bitcoin" in 2014 and "Banking on Bitcoin" in 2016. Those early days

was a lot more fun, when people were still motivated to "Change the world" with Bitcoin.  ::)

Alright. I've only watched the trailer for now and I'm a bit interested (just a little bit). The documentary looked very low-budget from the first 10 seconds. Some parts of the movie actually made me cringe. Like 3/4 of the trailer, when they were having problems because they couldn't find stores who accepts bitcoin, well duh, bitcoin isn't widely accepted yet; why didn't you bring cash? I felt like they were trying too hard to dramatize it. I'd prefer if they just made like a informative documentary on what bitcoin can solve. Not all these "oh no this restaurant doesn't accept bitcoin and I'm already very hungry :("

I think OP can also just get a simple and feee virtual private network (VPN) like HotspotShiekd installed in your computer and have it anonymously hide your location so that you will be free of all bans and restrictions so you can stream the video live.

Couldn't watch the main documentary as well. The trailer was good though but from the look of things and from what those who have watched the main documentary, it seems the trailer did better than the documentary itself.

Amazing video. I will watch it too. I hope they reach their goal on the bitcoin. It seems to be very exciting documentary, two couples left with no choice but only bitcoin as source of money to live on for next three months. Wow, very cool concept as it is unboxing the huddles of use of bitcoin in real life. They are struggling to get food and gasoline and needs to hear worse things about bitcoin. But they are not loosing hopes in the time being. Great one I will watch the full doc. Thanks for sharing.

I just watched the trailer of the documentary and it really looks very promising. It shows how only a few people have heard of bitcoin and that we still are in an early stage. The only thing I disliked about the trailer was that they put in Ross Ulbricht's photo (Ulbricht is allegedly the creator of silk road) to remind bitcoin of the silk road times. But nevertheless it seems like a very interesting documentary and I would like to watch it.
