Here's a review of the new film "Crypto" that stars Kurt Russell and Luke Hemsworth and is about Bitcoin. A big Hollywood film with big-name stars is a pretty big step in getting Bitcoin recognized globally and making it more legitimate in the eyes of the general public:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8w2EXTKQzA&feature=youtu.be (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8w2EXTKQzA&feature=youtu.be)

Any info when the film will be released officially and will it be available world wide? The trailer looks so attractive, I hope it will be released soon so it can be the first Bitcoin Film and hopefully it will bring good effects to bitcoin in general. More adoption, more demands, and obviously price boost.

The trailer looks attractive, but we don't know how bitcoin is portrayed in the film. If it is portrayed with all its good and the technology making a big change, following which we can expect a bigger level of adoption of bitcoin from common people who haven't known much about it. If negative things were prioritized surely it'll be a blow to the people who have been with plans to invest on bitcoin.

It's out already. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8563452/

I need to watch this now. I hope information related to cryptocurrencies are correct.
Anyway good to see this. I hope there will soon be film where cryptocurrencies will be presented as a mainstream currency. It would be awesome to hear a cashier casualy saying 65047 satoshis. :)

Cryptocurrencies especially Bitcoin aren't 'pumped' because of the film, instead of the film itself being pumped because of cryptocurrency.

If you think it's a big step, you really have a bad taste. Bitcoin already big and globally available we don't need any shitty Hollywood film to promote nor introduced it. I know it somehow helps the adoption process, but I think it wouldn't help too much.

---

As expected 5.0/10 rating, imagine if they didn't pick the crypto niches.

I didn't know that crypto would be filmed. I don't think it could attract even those who aren't well informed about what cryptocurrency is but I'm sure that it will still click. It will surely bring a positive outcome and good feedback in crypto world. It's another way of educating people as well. Kudos to the filmmakers and actors.

Now people are making movies cartoon based on crypto it's really great news for cryptocurrency. Crypto film brings bitcoin to Hollywood, it's helps cryptocurrency that people are showing more interesting on crypto when Hollywood also makes movies based on crypto. These thing make more popular crypto to people and helps to gain trust also. It's a great promotion of cryptocurrency that crypto film brings bitcoin to Hollywood.

It came out in the US on April 12

haha, i bet it'll be incredibly inaccurate. anything related to technology in movies usually is. it'll probably be chock full of misused jargon and won't be a realistic portrayal at all.

i just hope it isn't used to perpetuate a negative image of crypto. i already know it's super corny: (https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/xwbknn/kurt-russells-new-bitcoin-crime-movie-crypto-looks-so-awful-i-must-see-it)

OMG, this will be great. Finally Hollywood is embracing the crypto world. we are talking about movies by which people even believe in vampires and ghosts. omg, this is it the world is going to be into bitcoin from now. we are going to get a huge ragging crowd. maybe this film can not make much profit but its the best action anyone can take even if it gets flopped it is still gonna be acting as a cannon. and I do not see any point of being flopped its trailer looks good.

Hacker movies are the best...just a bunch of really fast typing and throwing in a bunch of nonsense jargon like "ports" "firewalls" and "DNS"

Will wait what your reaction will be after watching the movie.  ;) Already watched the film and not so satisfied at all. Maybe I'm expecting more...

Films are an important factor in shaping people's conscience and opinions
The effect is doubled if the film was produced by Hollywood
What we need and we hope that the film is realistic  and fair for BTC , then we can say that it is a big step towards BTC more adoption.

I already found a link maybe I would just watch it later but if you want you could search for it at fmovies.to the title of the movie is Crypto.
I think it is a good thing that they made a movie for crypto after all it is still a publicity,
Even though most of it is just the negative side of crypto .
Have fun watching guys 😊.

that is the one thing that will not happen with this film.
usually these things tend to not even be realistic and only focus on the negative part of bitcoin not all the positivity that it has brought to the world. and why would they? people are more interested in watching some dramatic movie even if it has so little facts. and it may not change their opinion about bitcoin that much either.

It might be a good idea, to introduce bitcoin to everyone in the world, so that bitcoin will be easily recognized, and attract them to invest or use bitcoin as a payment tool.

That's right, by creating a film that tells about bitcoin, hopefully bitcoin will have a positive impact on the wider community. And they know more about cryptocurrency and how to use it.

i watched the movie and it was more about FIAT money laundering where there was a crypto mixer used in the middle
and a few slight references to bitcoin atms, ico's and trading
main theme is:
main character is a AML agent employed by a company, he is initially depicted as a bit of a savant and went into too much detail of a companies finances and found many flaws in their fiat accounts. they didnt like it so suspended him for a few weeks.
his superviser told him to go investigate a local bank in the main characters old home town while the dust settles.
he goes back to his home town and visits one of his teenage favourite places, a liquor store where he and a friend use to steal liquor. this is where he bumps into that same friend, who turns out to now run that same liquor store.

here we learn the friend is highly into bitcoin and crypto. typical hobbyist. has a bitcoinATM in the liquor store, mining equipment in the liquor stores walk-in freezer and the friend is into a bit of hacking and researching ICO's as a extra income method.
now the main character starts looking dumb, doesnt know about bitcoin or hacking or much else and starts relying on the friend later on in the movie. but for now is just settling in working from a back office at the bank weeding through many boxes of unorganised bank paperwork..
small bits of family drama. h runs into his brother who is angry/jealous the main character left the home town, leaving the brother and dad to fend for themselves running a potato farm
back in the bank the main character starts learning about an art gallery and then uses his liquor store buddy to hack further and finds a link to some canadian small fishbait store which turns out to be a shell company for the russian mob
its found that the bank, art gallery and fishbait store are linked to an OTC(over the counter) mixer/exchange that launders the fiat for the russians.
the russians then come to town and burn down the liquor store. but not before the main characters friend makes a video of all the evidence including making a bitcoin HD phraseseed which contains alot of bitcoin
the russians find out so kidnap the main characters dad and want the evidence returned in exchange for the dads release.
evidence is handed over and dad gets released

all in all thats about it in regards to 'crypto' based stuff.. which to me was slim snippets of a bitcoin ATM a bit of chatter about mining,ico and trading. and a OTC mixer/exchange.... the rest of the movie was pretty much fiat money laundering for the russians and the story line wouldnt have change much if the liquor store owner was just a standard hacker and the laundering was done by way of pure fiat. i just flt they only slid in references of crypto based to make a boring standard russian mob laundering movie sound more appealing/relevant to the millennial generation

I think it is great that they already made a film about crypto but I don't really think that it would help a lot in adaptation.
The film was about the negative side money laundering using crypto and hacking.

The film has a freaking 5/10 rating in IMDB and I don't recognize any of the actors which is why this is not news to me. Majority of the film focuses on the negative aspects of crypto overall which is why I don't think it will help in any way whatsoever.

A successful film with recognized actors can help crypto  by driving adoption upwards which is something I am looking forward to in the future.

I don't think we can see crypto being portray as accurate though. Haven't seen the film, but it's hollywood, they will put a lot of spin and put bitcoin in the bad light, like mentioning that it is being used in darkweb by criminals to buy some stuff.

I think this is amazing idea. If the film about bitcoin going to hollywood it is big advantage to bitcoin industry. All we know that hollywood film is fovour all over the globe. So when it can be possible all people in the world will learn and have enough knowledge because of that film. So they will open their mind to embrace the crypto world.

The trailer looks very interesting, in my opinion this film became the first Bitcoin movie ever. Hopefully with this film, Bitcoin will be better known by the wider community of various groups. I personally hope this film will soon be released and aired in various countries and hopefully it will have a positive impact on Bitcoin itself.

This will be extraordinary. At last Hollywood is grasping the crypto world. we are discussing films by which individuals even trust in vampires and phantoms. omg, this is it the world will be into bitcoin from now. we will get a tremendous ragging swarm. possibly this film can not make much benefit but rather its the best move anybody can make regardless of whether it gets tumbled it is still going to go about as a gun. also, I don't perceive any purpose of being tumbled its trailer looks great.

This kind of thing is very good for the development of bitcoin. when a lot of information media that spreads all information about digital currencies, it can foster a great sense of desire from the community. we just need to wait for this time bomb to explode, which is when bitcoin can be accepted by various layers of society in the world.

its a good movie but it it not that kind of crypto informative movie which I was expecting

if the film can bring bitcoin to Hollywood I hope that Fiilm can bring bitcoin to my country,
there are many things that can make bitcoin accepted among the government or society, one of which is the entertainment approach such as the film. this is a very good strategy.

That is why i love "Billions" TV series  :D

I haven't been keeping up to date with Hollywood and I doubt I will go see this movie.  This film will be filled with baseless assumptions and false stereotypes.  I'd rather spend my time doing more productive things.

I watched the trailer, the film seems kind of shit but I don’t really care. It’s cool that this is another tool to get bitcoin into the mainstream so average joe can see it.

i am not sure why everyone is so happy about this and repeats the same thing about "how amazing it is"! maybe none of them watched the damn thing yet or maybe i am wrong!
in any case i don't find it "amazing" whatsoever. in fact i think this has the chance of being bad for bitcoin as it is also mentions all the ICO scams,... and somehow it relates them together.
besides, as far as I can remember Hollywood has never been positive about bitcoin. all the movies or TV series that i have seen bitcoin being mentioned on, it was a bad mention: either for drugs or for get rich quick!

I haven't watched it yet,
but I see it's about crime and corruption, and involves cryptos.

I can predict that cryptos will be associated with crime and corruption, and generally portrayed in a bad light.

There have been a couple of topics about it on this forum already, and unfortunately the film seems terrible. They got fancy actors to star in a typical blockbuster about good guys from the government fighting the bad guys from Russian mafia. And the key part of Bitcoin there is that it is used by the bad guys for money laundering. This is a terrible misrepresentation of what Bitcoin really is, and I hope not many people will see this film, because otherwise it can damage the reputation of a great innovation.

Cryptoindustry made so many mistakes in the beginning that would be enough for a thriller. But I believe that the new opportunities offered by the blockchain and cryptocurrency far exceed the risks.

Unfortunately, along with projects that use the security token with good intentions, I again see startups who either try to speculate on this concept or do not understand the difference between the types of tokens.

I heard about high project, it really changes the perception of traditional advertising for the better. Although it is not necessary to make sto for the platform to be noticed. I like taklimakan in this sense, and their goal is to teach more people to understand cryptocurrency and trade. Excellent tools, good monetization and a positive idea. STO tokens can be considered one more step forward, so that cryptocurrency is recognized worldwide

It agree, it is not obligatory to be a sto project, the main thing to have a sense of respect for users. I would prefer tokenization in key industries. For example, in education. So that students can earn not just points, but full-fledged coins and use them in the campuses  to pay for food and services. Yes, I'm ready to go and study again for that. Haha, but for now it's dreams

Yes, I understand the course of your thoughts. If the government refuses to finance the education sector, then allow the schools themselves to work for their success and use modern blockchain technologies and tokens

Kurt Russell is a major movie star. Even Liam Hemsworth and Alexis Bliedel are pretty recognizable actors.

It's a good first step though, 5 years ago Hollywood would never make a movie about Bitcoin or cryptocurrency at all.

The idea will gain interest and whatever they show from that film will only give interest to more people around, I like to see how the audience will comply and how many people will love and how will hate more, it's between still with believers and non believers to act accordingly, we have to support steps like this and be ready to whatever assumptions crowd will react.

If crypto film can bring Bitcoin to Hollywood successfully, it would pave the way for bitcoin to be regconized officially all places in the word. Personally, a number of people who are really keen on technology films, are kind of crowed because it always attracted with something so special and be more impressive than any other kinds of film. I don't know whether or not this film can successfully inspire positive and effective action to audience, but if it's attractive, interested enough for people to pay attention to, it would be a big success to crypto industry.

Nice one! This became more special compare to the other crypto-related movies because of the cast. Kurt Russel? He is one of the famous stars in the Hollywood and what about Luke Hemsworth? Well, he is good too (I guess he just became famous because of his connection to Chris which is his brother ;D). I'm pretty sure that crypto world will be benefited by this movies, adopters are expected to come soon.

Anyway, when it comes to the plot of the movie, I don't like it very slight because it mainly shows the negative side of crypto. Yeah! The movie flows in a positive way since the investigators fight cyber crime but what I don't agree with it is that crypto plays as the antagonist in the story since the application they focused about money laundering. Nevertheless, people can now have an idea about crypto thus resulting to a closer dream of mass adoption. :)

I don't know if the people would actually really explain how blockchain and Bitcoin could work but it's a great start for the Hollywood to start and embrace cryptocurrency. But the actual movie explains how money laundering could happen behind in cryptocurrency but it doesn't explain how Bitcoin would is being used all around the world. They seem to use the title to the plot of a movie to focus more on anti-money laundering.

Based on the trailer, I think it will do more harm than good to cryptocurrency. It's more like that crypto is portrayed as a bad thing. Bitcoin is being used here for money laundering and other illegal activities. And we know that everytime "Russia" is mentioned, there's an automatic stigma that comes with it. :)
I think crypto is being use here to give "hype" for the movie. I hope they make movies that explained thoroughly how crypto can be helpful to us.

Since it was a hollywood movie and not a documentary then those who would watch the movie wouldnt expect an explanation of how bitcoin let alone how the blockchain works. It would be less interesting to the movie goers of hollywood movies whose attention span wouldnt allow them to get thru it til the end. :)
There is a series Ive heard is in production for a streaming service of how bitcoin and the blockchain was created and how it is doing now. It should be released sometime next year.

Had you understand the movie or at least the trailer? The movie is nothing but bitcoin use as money laundering and corruption, so tell me how it will make it legitimate to the eyes by people? Oh not to mention that the trailer is boring.

It will be better if they just explain how bitcoin works but of course not in dull way. I'd rather spend my time and money to other things than to watch this.

The film is the best connecting media to the common audience and "Crypto" might help to create that awareness and help to understand the technology behind it :)

This could either make or break the general overview of bitcoin to the public. Although it may provide exposure, it heavily depends on how they represented bitcoin in the movie. If they portrayed it as an illegal medium which can be used to purchase guns, etc. then the whole reputation of cryptocurrencies may be put to question.

What matters is that the exposure of bitcoin is spreading throughout Hollywood. This is a big opportunity to showcase its potential and use so that many people would understand its concept and worth to the world.

It should be released on months or seasons with has no strong competence in the film industry. As you can see, famous movies and awaited series (GOT) are shown recently. Count avengers on, so the movie Crypto would probably have less watchers and cause a low impact on the society. If they could watch maybe because of referrals or boredom with no nice movies to watch. So these guys should carefully pick the release date or else it would go to waste.

Oh dear! Here we go again!

Bitcoin truly doesn't need all that "Make believe" acting to achieve greatness. What the community seeks now is mass adoption, not film popularity. And until the likes ofKurt Russell and Luke Hemsworth? Donald Trump, Putin, Kim, Obama, and the rest of them are featured in Hollywood for Bitcoin, the filmmakers can go lickass elsewhere.

Really?this is one good movie and for sure will attract more people to study and learn what bitcoin and cryptocurrency is all about
I remember the first movie that i saw bitcoin was used is the movie John Wicked staring Keanu Reeves i hope this big movie will bring us to the much awaited mass adaptation and will made us all successful in our crypto journey

One single movie is definitely not going to help bitcoin very much into mass adoption and thats because we are not talking about one of the most popular movies in the world. But,still this is just a beginning and if we continue creating more movies people will surely start noticing the greatness of bitcoin and join it.

This is a huge step for cryptocurrency. And the host in the video is right when he said that whatever Hollywood embraces, the whole world usually follows. The trailer looks interesting. I just hope that the whole video is as interesting as its trailer, though. And I hope that to those who will be watching this film, whether they are crypto-inclined or not, they will learn something good about crypto even it is portrayed or used in a negative manner.

So it has been released? Cool. I'm going to watch it as well. Do you have any link where I can download it in HD? Thanks in advance! :D

It is a good start again for the bitcoin which is recognize. We know hollywood is very popular to the whole world.
so incase that film will release and mamy people see that film they will more popular the bitcoin for sure not only in USA but also the Other country.

Am waiting for the release of the movie, bitcoin is gradually gaining momentum and at this point big stars in music and films are now using bitcoin and other digital currency, I hard a big stars music sing about bitcoin and litecoin. The world is going to adopt crypto as they secondary currency.

Cryptocurrency is a future so I won't be surprise if one day, more people or celebrities are using crypto as well.
The combination between crypto and hollywood because the great marketing to attract more people to know a bit or more about crypto.

So yeah , it's just a matter of time !

I think that after the release of this film, the demand and interest in cryptocurrencies will be large-scale.Does anyone have information about the specific dates of the appearance of this film in cinemas?It seems to me that in order to increase the effect, it will be necessary in parallel with the release of the film, to strengthen information space through the media, radio and all kinds of Internet resources.An avalanche of useful information and a positive attitude to cryptocurrencies should fall on people.

Thanks for sharing this. I am always interested in new upcoming films on Bitcoin.

I have watched this film 1 week ago, and in my opinion, this film is very interesting where crypto is uploaded in a hollywood film. In the film, mining and crypto transactions are uploaded to the story. I really enjoyed the storyline.

to watch crypto movies, please see this link: https://indoxxi.cx/movie/crypto-2019-subtitle-indonesia-c62d

If nothing, it's great for marketing and raising awareness of Crypto and Bitcoin. Negative publicity is publicity as well

Indeed, that's a right step at the right time buddy, just watched the movie and am pretty happy for this open advertisement from the Hollywood big stars. If this could be done with other notable organization the awareness will massive.

This is my subjective opinion and I do not impose it on anyone.
I watched this movie and I did not like it. Very raw and not interesting.

Looks like it could be a enjoyable movie. However, from the trailer it does seem they have put a lot of ominous tones to Cryptocurrencies which is a shame because there is so much more to this market than just the negatives which the trailer seems to focus on.

Because bad news spread more quickly and have greater impact than good news. Bad stuff are more fun than good good stuff

The trailer looks attractive. I would love to see that movie. I agree that after its release, people will look at bitcoin differently and maybe it will help them understand it and the fact that there is nothing wrong with bitcoin. After all, this is really something that will change the world in the near future.

the Crypto film is very good, at first I thought the storyline of this film would disfigure and lead the audience's opinion that the cryptocurrency was a fraud but no, the film tells the story of a friend's sacrifice. The storyline makes me even more convinced that in the future cryptocurrencies will be accepted generally.

This will bring a good future to bitcoin economy by the time people can appreciate the brilliant thing about bitcoin, and with films I think it's one way to promote bitcoin easily. Most of the people around the world was fascinated with movies, so it's not impossible for those individuals to obtain concrete informative information coming from crypto films.

a good movie with this film Hollywood has helped bitcoin to be widely known if everyone wants to watch this movie we can just share this video so that more people know about cryptocurrency

Oh wow great i very interesting film, not possible people encourage to invest in crypto after they watch the film and especially a fmous artist can bring to the influence.

I hope this will not like a propaganda to dishonor bitcoin, Let's say making bitcoin look bad in this movie. that will affect the most newly investors who only knew a few things about bitcoin. and If they make it look good then its a good explanation and the rumors about it will be cleared.

Nice, what better way is there for the average Joe to be introduced to cryptocurrency than through a Hollywood film, which is going to star actors with household names?
  Looks to me like these are the makings of solid progressive.

That is beautiful. The triller is quite inviting and I see this move as a positive one for cryptocurrency. I eeally would anticipate the likes of Nollywood, Bollywood and co to follow suit

I did not like that movie, they show the cryptocurrencies as if they were only used for cybercrime, money laundering or everything bad ... they practically, want to make cryptocurrencies look bad

I've watched the trailer before. There's action scenes that maybe can hype the viewers but I don't think this can help to hype people to discover crypto since it's likely more on the bad side. People might think crypto is a bad thing.
The trailer is also filled with bad comments and review about the movie.

Cryptocurrency investors will likely see the release of good and bad films because they will definitely bring attention to cryptocurrency, but it may not be the best kind of attention. According to other reviews, this film is a novel about digital currencies in the US. This illustrates the battle between money and morals, with the struggle to defend one's values ​​when they are sabotaged by cryptocurrency thieves.

Wow! This would have been a great means of exposure for btc and the crypto community but we know the mainstream media only present things to suit them, so i hope this movie is in favor of btc not the other way round, i am gonna watch this movie to give my own verdict.
Although this good step but there is more to be done to gain global adoption, anyways one step at a time.

its only a movie and directors can make it look bad or good depending on thier chosen genre but its only a job  , they make movie for entertainment or for the sake of earning a profit  . no hard feelings for that  .

in the meanwhile  , we already know that bitcoin and cryptos are not bad but rather they are good because they can help the people and the economy  .  films about crypto are good because this gives the public an awareness . this might help the adoption grow more evenly  .

One more groups who take advantages of bitcoin popularity. This is good symbiosis. This film will get many attention from bitcoin users and other ordinary people and bitcoin will become more famous. Thanks for them. It seems that more whales will take part in this cryptocurrency investment world. Film could give good effect to cryptocurrency economy.

Yes, Crypto Film brings Hollywood Bitcoin Now many movies, cartoons are being made with Crypto, which makes Bitcoin more familiar. The Crypt Movie brings Bitcoin to such a big platform like Hollywood and brings a lot of popular platforms. This is certainly a good part of Bitcoin that will give a great deal to Bitcoin's influence and popularity. As a result of this crypto movie, everyone will know about Bitcoin's history and its activities better.

But bitcoin had been already in holliwood mate because the movie of Keanu Reeves totally brought bitcoin to the awareness of many public in which they use BITcoin as a mode of payments for every criminal transactions they made.the movie called Johnny Wicked ,though they use for bad concepts still we become popular in the eye of many viewers

From this review that I read technewsupdater.com/cc/crypto-movie-hollywood-misguidedness/ (http://technewsupdater.com/cc/crypto-movie-hollywood-misguidedness/) I got the impression that it framed cryptocurrency in a negative light.

"This was, however, a largely missed opportunity to create a film which took the harder path of turning the clickbait dial down, and the creative-thought dial up. Stories covering the lives of some of the pivotal members of the cryptocurrency community would be equally as catchy as a story about the Russia Mafia laundering their ill-gotten gains with Bitcoin."

I recently had a non-crypto friend tell me how terrible the film was.... can we please get something that is inspiring and educating to the masses? I mean the positive thing is that it def has people talking

Hollywood can definitely add some popularity to crypto. As the biggest industry of creating new heroes it will help a lot, no doubts!

Odd forum this one.

Most posters simply respond to the title, without even reading the OP, or checking the article or background etc.

So the majority of comments are ignorant nonsense - here we see endless comments about how good this is for BTC, without realising this movie is really BAD for BTC

Oh well :(

In public eyes ?

Really?

That depends what this film is going to portray , it might be funded by the banks 🤣 ( if you know what I mean )
Then it will be the worst nightmare for all of us 😥
No idea why would someone do so but at the same time they have stars plus public will be brain washed in whatever they wish to portray about the Bitcoin.

This movie can be good place to introduce crypto to the people but at the video it was says this movie can be bought through amazon but he review was not so interesting because there was a part when he says you would not watching this movie twice which mean possibly this film will not successfully and will not attract more audience to watched

it's time for bitcoin to be shown, so that it can convince people throughout the country. at this time there are still many people who are hesitant to buy bitcoin because its existence is still being considered and there are even some countries that have spread their people to use bitcoin.
I'm sure Bitcoin can be a global currency, but before that we have to introduce Bitcoin to everyone and invite them to buy bit

the trailer is very beautiful, captivating, is already know the release date? it will bring a lot of advertising to the world of crypto and maybe it will also interest many people in this fantastic world...

Cryptocurrency has become a part of our life, even if some people do not think so. It is a norm that movies show the realities of this life. Soon, the films about Bitcoin gagsters can appear.
