Bitcoin Forum

i've seen a 2016 movie titled "HACKER" and also in netflix's "the heist"  dragging bitcoin as hackers money /dirty money/ bad guys money and i find it wrong because they are creating a negative connotation on bitcoin. i think it is high time to restructure the image of bitcoin on movies.
is there other movies that portray bitcoin in a protagonist side?

In the series Billions they talk about getting paid in cryptocurrency in several episodes. A hedge-fund manager got banned from trading by the government so he'll name another guy as the head of trading, direct the trades and get paid in cryptocurrency so the government can't see that.

Maybe not yet.
Because not many movie producers make a movie about bitcoin since bitcoin is not really popular in this world, so the movie industry is nor interest to make a movie about it.
Maybe it will be several movies about it when it becomes popular in the future.

another bad image for crypto because it needs a dummy name to transact. it is high time to break that image of being illegal when it comes in cryptocurrencies.

Axe!

why not? ashton kutcher, a well known actor donated to ellen degeneres 4 million usd worth of ripple for her charity. (this is a situation where crypto money is being protagonist)

what axe? please elaborate.

this is why there are still many people who are afraid to use digital currency. I really want to make a movie to change the image of people to digital currency and bitcoin, but I'm a director  ;D

Good topic. Its not true that movie will always show the right. A movie is made on a idea base on a specific person's thought. Which can be right or not. But its true that it is very bad to show negative sign like this. I think gentlemen will study and learn instead of believing the spam idea.  

Movies does not always portray reality. It can be manipulated so it is not a good basis. But it can stir curiosity and provide awareness to the world. I saw some series who also shown ICO's, tokens and altcoins, bitcoin mining. These all provide good awareness, they may not always portray bitcoin as good but will inspire some to dig into cryptocurrency.

The serie called StartUp, put crypto, in an even worse spotlight than those Netflix movies, but it's still a good serie.

bitcoin in the movie does not exist yet, but if on youtube a short movie or understanding of bitcoin forums a lot and also that will fall bitcoin also exist, so the bitcoin forum appeared on television, and bitcoin price decreased in because of issues that are not good to bitcoin .

not really negative as it didnt really hype up things like silk road...
.. what it did do though, is create the hype of ICO's

yep that series created the idea of ICO fundraising for crapcoins

movies and tv series has big importance when it comes to adaptation of crypto currencies. I remember there was one whole serie was devoted to bitcoin in big bang theory. when people watch those tv series, they can get more interested in.  

I do not know the film that describes the bitcoin on the side of the protagonist. most movies do explain bitcoin used for crime. according to such films make people think negative to bitcoin

Have you seen the movie with the appearance of bitcoin? Have you ever seen a bitcoin in any movie? Please tell me if I want to watch movies with pictures of digital money appear. it will wonderful .

Either fiction or non-fiction it's already a bad image. Though it is publicity we should fix the bad connotation on bitcoin.How can we possibly do it?

yes that negative image must end for the bitcoin to be fully adopted by the masses and clear the doubt that bitcoin is scam and illegal.

I haven't seen many movies about Bitcoin. I think that btc will become more popular soon and we will see it everywhere, including media. Some images aren't fair saying that btc is not legit. I am sure this will change soon

Well, you know how media goes, the more sensationalized the better.

Portraying btc as a dangerous, underground thing will appeal more on an entertainment level instead of focusing on it's benefits.

A pretty funny portrayal of btc and crypto can be found in the recent season of the HBO show, Silicon Valley.
One of the characters has an automatic alarm that goes off when btc hits a certain low threshold signaling that it is no longer profitable to mine.
So he can remotely turn off his mining rig.
The alarm goes off all the time and his response is a deadpan, "Well, it is volatile."
Their company then goes on to do an ico.

The hard truth of btc is that it really isn't anything movie worthy.
Even a biopic on Satoshi would fail because there just isn't that much known about him.

Eventually, btc will be seen and accepted for what it truly is.

that was old as you said 2014 and only hackers that time was using bitcoins back in that time and now bitcoin is more usable than 2014 a lot

The best Bitcoin film and documentary that explains the workings of digital money and cryptocurrency This film shows the players who determine how this technology will shape our lives.

yes ive seen that where sheldon didnt really invested while his friends did. thanks for reminding! in the simpsons as well there is bitcoin publicity

Actually on a teen comedy show named "Family Guy" there was actually an episode there where Lois Griffin and Peter were running out of ways to earn money then suddenly Peter Griffin which is the father of the griffins for those who don't know the show suddenly shouted "How About we use Bitcoin?", it was a very short quote that has actually led teenagers or moreso adolescents having the curiosity to know what bitcoin is and I'm sure that bitcoin has influenced not only movies but through comedic shows just like Family Guy and more.

There shoud be many movies or series in which bitcoin was talked, also kanye west talked about bitcoin, I think that's really normal for me, as it is world's single currency right?

either good or bad, it is considered as publicity but we dont need a simple publicity but a good image btc instead

I think for publicity or marketing there should have some movies about bitcoin. Now days we see many movies are have like treasure hunting or like stealing someone's wealth. There should some movies like people invest on bitcoin and become rich or some group want to steal bitcoin they make so many ideas but they failed etc. It will be useful and enjoyable as well.

something like wolf of wallstreet but in bitcoin. that would be interesting to watch!

Bitcoin  was mentioned in recent "Big Bang Theory " season as well. I think, it is very common in Internet web series also.

With time, people will realize the importance of bitcoins and crypto. It was misunderstood earlier as it is still quite new and there are people spreading FUD against it.

I've never seen flm telling about bitcoin, maybe the director is not too familiar with bitcoin, so if the director just made it up. Maybe later if I become director😊😊, I will make the impression bitcoin become protagonist, where in cryptocurency can change the fate of the little guy like I.

I saw mention of bitcoin on Mr. Robot and The big bang theory episodes. This theme is getting popular nowadays a d I guess in future the mention of crypto currencies will only increase.

Bitcoin on movies is bot such a bad idea.. bcz people love to watch movie and whenever some one want some entertaintment they choose to go on threater..and we know everything with funny memories is long last in our mind.and specially if we teach bitcoin by movies i hope we willl learb it very soon and the person not familiar with butcoin will get the fact of bitcoin..by that. the peiple who knows bitcoin thehey will get a lot of help and who font know they start to learn.
so its a lretty good idea.

I've never really seen Bitcoin related movies because it's not a topic that they usually make movies about. But I think in the future when Bitcoin reaches its peaks of success, it will be a topic that is popular enough to make movies about. And hopefully they create movies that show Bitcoin in a positive manner. Let's see what the future holds for this coin.

I have also watched the film and deeply regretted that bitcoin is positioned in a negative currency in the film's perspective. This also makes people's perception of not trusting bitcoin to be used in real life so after watching the movie as if all the audience is directed to hate bitcoin.

well that's a lot of bitcoin in the movie film. and more and more in Chinese bitcoin films are linked to films ... and this is also very good for bitcoin can be introduced by bitcoin in the famous film

I don't think there is any movie about or is mainly focusez to bitcoon or its usage. Although, there are some shows that used or introduced the concept of cryptocurrency such as bitcoin. In fact, due to these shows, more and more people are becoming curious as to what cryptos are. PPI or Pied Piper was even created as a memw coin foe the show Silicon Valley.

I mention some movie & documentary related with Bitcoin.
all are should see those movies.

1. Bitcoin: The End of Money As We Know It
2. The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin
3. Life on Bitcoin
4. Bitcoin in Uganda
5. Bitcoin in Argentina

I think if you give it 2 more years, it will be all over movies

I have never seen a movie containing bitcoin but I believe that bitcoin is very popular any minute.
Some images say that bitcoin is invalid, that's a big mistake because what I know bitcoin has popularity and has a high value so many people like it so I do not believe it says that bitcoin is invalid, even that is a very lie.

but nevertheless in most cases the entire image of the crypto currency in the films is provided as High Technology, with which you can make money. One of these series is a "start-up". I think that despite the positive and negative image of the crypto currency in different information circles, all this has a positive effect on the popularity of crypto currency in the world.

I don't think there are any movies who really show Bitcoin or crypto in a positive light.
Why not? Because this is the mainstream. And their job right now is to make the average joe as much skeptical about Bitcoin & crypto as possible, to delay adoption and understanding of this technology as long as they can.

Yeah, i definitely agree, all the media does is show a bad picture of bitcoin, like the other day i was watching MR ROBOT and they brought up an episode where the bad guy is using bitcoin to do illegal activities on the dark net, i know it is kind of the truth but the influence that media had on people not trusting bitcoin is what is holding it back.

I remebered a Big bang theory episode with bitcoin mention. Not very relevant!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0B4XJY4_gg

I'm waiting for the satoshi's biopic ^^

In the serie "The Blacklist" there were a lot of scenes in where a lot of people were using bitcoins to pay for stuff, and for hack purposes. This is a very good scerie and it is more than addictive, i suggest you to watch it .

yes it is, "Big Bang Theory" season series once talked about Bitcoin technology that is still a strange for the public, not about what it is being related with few activities of hacker sometimes, but how it being talking much on the internet and people interest to buying it. It's would be great idea if any of those big market exchanges such as Binance or Bittrex or CoinBase funding a film director to creating such kind of this movies.

Oh I love The BBT!  Could you tell me in which episode and season there was about bitcoin?  I would like to watch it ASAP :)

Yes there are a few movies in my country that bitcoin was use as means of payment and the title was the corrupt politicians and in the movie they play how government officials use all the means available to steal money and one of which is bitcion. I don't know why bitcoin is always portray to be bad, I believe such movies are sponsored by government or some institutions that are attacking bitcoin.

I think it is part of the popularity of bitcoin that it has been used in the movie industry , figure it out how bitcoin circulate in the market of digital world and it also promote bitcoin to be futher be introduced to the different part of the world

the film does have a strong influence on the development of bitcoin because the film is interpreted as something that is not good, not used as a tool that serves as something very important and useful, and we are obliged to look forward to the continuous film of the bitcoin protagonist

I did not know that bitcoin was a protagonsite in a movie, but this tends to be more and more normal, since cryptocurrencies have come to stay

I think it's just a movie. because right now even though bitcoin images are created in negative scenes in movies but now these bitcoin images are still high and bitcoin keeps a place in the hearts of the fans. and no other movie has been told about bitcoin.

"The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin" ("The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin"). This movie will give you a chance to catch up with the earliest users of bitcoin technology. The film deeply analyzes the successes and falls experienced by early currency users since bitcoin was published in 2008.

There's an episode in The Big Bang Theory that is about BTC. Here's the link: Click me (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cc-Hbklizzk)

Not for movies.do someadvertisement about bitcoin.yes out in multi media and this bitcoin wil be known well.In terms of payment bitcoin also can used.bitcoin will be popular for the advertisement they made

Honestly, I just don't know there is a movie about bitcoin on Netflix. Thanks to you it interest me that I tap a research on that. And you were right, it was quite disappointment that they've used the name of bitcoin to use in an illegalities, crime, etc. And that dragged the reputation down. I do hope they will make a movie where they can explain the possibilities that may give this advanced technology in our life.

that's the function of the movie, they promote what people have ordered behind it. or they just know the bitcoin industry from the dark side only. while it is interesting and can entertain the audience, why do not they use it? they are not part of this community, so filmmakers doesnt give a shit about us. but I've seen several US series that talk about bitcoin and blockchain technology objectively, the show is called siilicon valley.

Sure bitcoin is in favor for me you can gain profit on this.,

I think there should be some movies or short plays for Bitcoin promotion. Because people can always remember what they see easily. More profitable to have pictures, short films, etc. for Tarera advertisement. These photos are useful in Bitcoin, Bitcoin profitable aspects, a group of people are trying to steal Bitcoin or Bitcoin wallet is hacking, but once they fail they will have to keep the pictures in such a way that the people have to keep the bitcane on them. As a result people will be interested in purchasing Bitcoin.

wow a great idea. No one cares about this until you create this topic. Good image building for bitcoin will attract more investors. thank for your writting

I guess its more positive to watch. "John Wicked" staring Keanu Reeves in which bitcoin has being used as payments for the assassins this is more positive because in this movie bitcoin act as a money physically in a form of golden token,i think many of people here knows this movie since the part 3 is just soon to release this year.

Actually, there are plenty of movies about bitcoin.
I love the movie "I am Satoshi" and its a documentary movie that could help users get an idea about bitcoin and how they demonstrate the traditional banking system from the cryptocurrency that could suggest bitcoins a lot more convenient.

For me i think bitcoin because one thing is for sure theres a rewards after in everything you do in taking time here in bitcoin while do watching movies.

i do believe in publicity either good or bad, it is always a publicity. the more they treat bitcoin in an illegal role, the more people will be more curious on it because the more mysterious the thing is, the more attention it gets. i think the branding of bitcoin now is on the right track.
i also watched the BBT episode on bitcoin and i think in that episode, they have portrayed bitcoin in a good light.

I think i saw a Simpson episode where the the local bully of the town who normally take the money and the food from the kids made a poster which says that he is going to start taking their lunch money through bitcoins and he has a QR code for the Bitcoin address.

do not think in a negative way everyone knows that stuffs from movies are not real and we should feel better that someone has introduced the bitcoin in film industries and has used in some movies and i have seen them on some top youtubers channel too. I feel good that people are observing it from the stuff they like and visit most. It will take some time but for new we need their awareness no matter its good or bad. we can work with their thoughts and point of views later.

I have seen a movie in which a guy gave bitcoin as one of the options he could receive his pay for a service he was going to provide. It’s unfortunate that I can’t remember the title of the movie but it was the first time I heard about bitcoin in a movie and I was so pleased.

Someone needs to come forward and convince the film industry to put a good image of Bitcoins and crypto currency in the big screen. I've seen a movie named "Thank you for smoking (2005)". The movie shows a hint how cigarettes were highlighted by putting it in the celebrity's hand. A film or a bunch of films can make a good impression on Blockchain technology.

In a sense it could be a good news. People do a lot of bad publicity to gain traffic and raise interest. But I don't think this would do much good for Bitcoins. You see, it already has a lots of negative vibe floating over people's brain. Which doesn't seem like a good thing to me. Even the bitcoin users doesn't believe in blockchain. Lot of them still think it's a bubble.

Well, yet bitcoin has not seen that would have been mentioned in the movies, and it's too early to make cryptocurrency so far into the everyday life of a person, well, in the future I think that this is still possible.

maybe...?

That is the strategy of the banks, government and other financial institutions to get rid of Bitcoin.

I think movies and serials can not be useful to bitcoin only corporate ads and support are helpful in bitcoin development.

That would be a great opportunity especially for a movie enthusiasts like me. I'm a bitcoin holder and using bitcoin on movies is a great thing because it will be another benefit of bitcoin. Add to that is the revolution it's gonna make because a lot of people will be interested to it once it happens.

in mr.robot , bad guys was using bitcoin ... but still any publicity is good publicity

Oh... I had no idea that there's a docu movie about Satoshi. Will definitely check it out. I think these films/documentaries are a great way to educate others about bitcoin.

Yes, I think it would be nice to make a good movie about bitcoin. But most people do not want to hear the story of how many developers are struggling to bring bitcoin as king in the market. Most people just want to see a bitcoin win, see how valuable bitcoin is when bitcoin can pay for all their needs.

yes in the movie and the real life bitcoin always be the currencies of bad people make a transaction, receive money and bad things. as we know that in deep web bitcoin is the main payemnt of the service because its untrackable, and dont know who is the receiver and the sender, after that we can see that in ransomware we need to pay with bitcoin too. i agree with you that we need to change view of bitcoin to other people

 ;D just a simple way to cash out black money. I saw that film before but with bitcoin we can do more, cash out money is ez and have many way.

As we know that Bitcoin on the web is the main payment of the service because it can not be tracked, and does not know who the recipient and the sender.

I thought it would be nice to make a good movie about Bitcoin.

But most people do not want to hear the story of how many developers are struggling to bring Bitcoin as king in the market.

Most people just want to see Bitcoin's victory alone.

I have not seen, where is the movie web link? Yes there will probably be a positive-sided film about people becoming millionaires due to bitcoin.  ;)

Because most people doesn't have any knowledge of it and they quickly judge it without even knowing it. Let's just advertise bitcoin as a new alternative investment that is not a ponzi scheme and most importantly not a scam. People should make blogs, vlogs and YouTube videos promoting btc as a safe haven for investment.

If ever bitcoin will be on the movies. I expect that a lot of people will stir their curiousity in bitcoin world. There's a pros and cons. They'll love it or they'll hate it.

Have you seen bitcoin on TV? Have you ever seen ads that have images or sounds or symbols that have the appearance of bitcoin on them? I have not met but I hope that I will be watching TV with bitcoin

Having a mention here and there in movies is actually good for us IMO. Good or bad, it gives the viewers something to think about and out of their curiosity they will research about bitcoin. Now it is up to them which one they will believe.

I also regret with the storyline on some of the film but if the watch is a wise person then they would think bitcoin is like a knife if used for a positive then it will be very useful, and vice versa, conventional money I think so too if we use it for a positive thing then it will be fruitful and vice versa

based on your reactions and response regarding bitcoin brand positioning, i think i should do another thread for possible bitcoin stories for us to come up for a good movie about bitcoin.  here is the link! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4391305

may come true, but it seems to have to go through some counter elements and institutions if bitcoin enters the world of cinema. but the good side of knowledge about bitcoin will be more easily widespread.

Bitcoin has been functioniy for several years now and it keeps adding value and depreciate during for a period of time to enable to invest on bitcoin and also to maintain bitcoin price to circulate and standard.

that is a bad conspiracy and a fraudulent way that can make the bitcoin charismatic become fall.

I never found a movie that tells about the good value of bitcoin.

maybe your topic can inspire other bitcoin users to spread the benefits of bitcoin through movies.

in 2009  bitcoin was implement by satoshi. in netflix create an documentary of bitcoin to improve the BTC for my know :)

We need major Hollywood blockbuster movies about bitcoins. Like what Trading Places, Wall Street and Boiler Room are to the stock market.

Now bitcoin is used in many good manner.Now the online shopping accept bitcoin as a payment ,I had seen in crypto news.One of the football player accept part of his payments as bitcoin to play in game.Because they had realise the value of bitcoin.I don't know any movies is  yet to come about bitcoin.

I think you are right about how the film writers portray bitcoin to be evil. And this very film will give the haters of bitcoin the impetus to continue the barrage of attacks on Bitcoin. How I wish there will be another movie that will change the negative impact on the public viewing mind.

yes obviously that's very wrong, with a negative film on bitcoin will make people increasingly assume that bitcoin is really not good to use, I also hope there will be a film that lifts the positive side of bitcoin it will change people's view of bitcoin so far.

I prefer to watch Bitcoin Documentaries than movies because they try hype the movies so they can make ticket sells.(Banking on Bitcoin)
Here are some Bitcoin Documentaries I have watched

1.The rise and Rise of Bitcoin.
“The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin” is a film that documents the journey of the bitcoin. It covers all the events of bitcoin that have made headlines.
2.The Bitcoin Story
This was the very first documentary I watched. It is a depiction of all the conversations around the founding of bitcoin. The conversations delve into the core technologies around it, the politics surrounding it, and the ability of bitcoin to transform the financial sector. It also features the opinions of venture capitalists.
3.The History of Bitcoin
This is a time-based description of the history of the revolutionary software. It shows the use and revolution of the currency from its inception to the present day.
4. The Bitcoin Gospel
This is documentary I would recomemend for someone who is a beginner in the Crypto world.This Dutch film starts with a bitcoin angel investor known as Rodger Ver. He explains how the currency works. The movie basically follows the life of Rodger Ver, who has dedicated his life to advocating for the use of bitcoin. It also gives insight into the world of mining for bitcoins in China.

It needs to e properly researched and properly written as per script of the movie so that everything will be viewed as the truth about it and everything must be carefully check. So that viewers will have a good impressions about it.

I have never seen a movie about bitcoin that leads like a protagonist.
it is commonplace in my opinion, because after all the movie world will find a favorable side to sell. and that is the negative side.

Oh my favorite! Big Bang theory last year, the series number 9 of the eleventh season of the popular Comedy TV series was called the Bitcoin Entanglement.

The first appearance of cryptocurrency on blue screens was recorded in 2012 in the CBS series "Good wife". And away we go…

Bitcoin, as well as its mention, can be found in the series "Almost a man". There, however, the first cryptocurrency is presented in the form of a large flash drive. And also in the series "Simpsons", "Mr. Robot", "black list", "Blind spot" and others.

Yes does not always describe reality. This can be manipulated so it does not become a good foundation. But it can arouse curiosity and give awareness to the world. I see some series that also show Ico, tokens and Altcoin, Bitcoin mining. All this gives a good awareness. I do not know the film depicting Bitcoin on the side of the protagonist. most films explain Bitcoin used for crime. according to these phylumes make people think negative about Bitcoin.

in my opinion, bitcoin in movies is manipulated by the bankers and other powerful people of the world for them to place bitcoin in that dark light.network. power, wealth and influence rule the world as well how they do to middle east people.

bitcoin in many films that use bitcoin as a tool to make transactions in the world and there are some movies that make bitcoin name becomes ugly because it is used by hackers to launder money.

in my opinion, should bitcoin in the movie world have to play a positive thing in the world of digital currency and I think it's time to restructure bitcoin images in the movie. Is there another film that describes the bitcoin on the side of the protagonist?
thanks :)
