DTV is also the concept, what is the difference and innovation?

Dev should talk to some indie producer and lower the goals maybe?

In our view The Bitcoin Movie should target an important budget. Low budget indie films, with the exception of horror movies, rarely make money for their investors and opting for a low budget film would make The Bitcoin Movie an unattractive investment option. A budget of 13,000 BTC almost certainly guarantees the on-boarding of a distinguished director, reputable lead actor and supporting role - all very important factors if you want to sell the movie to distributors globally and not only showcase it on various indie festivals.

Good answer. Do you have something to show us at the moment?

At the moment, getting the word out and invite people in the conversation is the most that can be done. It has to be as 'organic' as possible, without pumping, to test the true interest and give it a chance of a slow and steady rise. TBM is a marathon, not a sprint. It is also important to note, right now the bitcoin community seem to focus more on SegWit/BU/HF, so the timing may not be the best. This is also the reason the bounty program announcement has been postponed.

Why not a Shitcoinmovie?

There is more drama and action in the Shitcoin world than in the Bitcoin.

If someone make a movie about shitcoins i promise i will buy my ticket and go to the cinema and dont download a pirate copy, also will buy popcornio with shitcoins.

DTV is also the concept, what is the difference and innovation?

SingularDTV is a great concept with a team that conducted an impressive ICO round. They aim to produce the futuristic tv series Singular and the production of documentaries for those unaware of the benefits and opportunities that blockchain technology and decentralization provide. However interesting, a limited budget may become soon problematic given the futuristic nature of their tv series, where you can immagine substantial amounts may need to be invested in post-production to make the series look good. Let's hope for the best. Success of each major ICO to date is important for the prosperity and growth of the ecosystem as a whole.

The Bitcoin Movie targets a similar goal - push Bitcoin further out of the shadows and help the world wake up to the huge potential of blockchain - but in a different context. TBM is here to finance the production of a full length feature film for worldwide distribution with a production budget of high quality movies with compelling stories, e.g. “The imitation game” starring acclaimed actors Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley which grossed over $233M worldwide against a $14M production budget and received eight nominations at the Academy Awards.

Why? Bitcoin has affected the lives of many and will continue to do so, providing stories that can inspire, intrigue and captivate audiences worldwide. Bitcoin can create stories people will relate to. Stories are almost always about facing problems and trying to overcome them. Stories have a problem-solution structure. Stories are usually about trouble and Bitcoin offers to be a great storytelling platform. What happens when a man forgets he bought 100$ worth of Bitcoin in 2009? Is there a story to tell about Mt. Gox, Bitcoin’s $460 million disaster? Is there a movie behind the story of a 29-year-old idealist who built a global drug bazaar and became a murderous kingpin? Or perhaps TBM should depict the story that even those outside the Bitcoin community have heard - the story of how an unknown person created the biggest invention since the internet and then vanished forever?

The Bitcoin Movie must be seen as an opportunity for the crypto-community to achieve something of great importance. Not so far from now a movie with a Bitcoin related storyline will be produced. You can be 100% sure of this. The Bitcoin Movie opens up the possibility for the crypto-community to take part in it and tell a story that serves Bitcoin, before Bitcoin becomes mainstream and the big studios start evaluating the topic.

You are most welcome to read our white paper and get back with comments and questions.

Hey guys. Your ICO seems to be live, but I can't see a way of joining? Please advise!

Is it a movie about Bitcoin or a bill paying in Bitcoin? Really do not understand.Is it necessary to create a token such as DTV.

To have a famous actor, a famous director of production, so as to attract people.

Very ambitious project,but the dev cannot show if he is capable of bringing this to reality.what are his experience and does the dev has prior experience in the past creating a short film or even a youtube video,no answer from the dev until now.

[Kawasanz]

Well if his movies quality is equivalent to cinematography 21 does not matter to be a paid broadcast, but must provide the latest movies ,,, good luck sir

[Coin_trader]

in my understanding, the bitcoin movie is not all about the movie story of bitcoin but into producing movies related to bitcoin, so, we can say that it's an aspiring indie movie production, but we know that nowadays, movie production is not that lucrative due to piracy not to add that not so many people are intersted in bitcoin.

I don't understand what you want to do.movie or coin?

Thank you all for making this discussion live! The White Paper will be released on March 13, 2017.
In the meantime, we would like to answer some of the questions:

By design, The Bitcoin Movie will be a unique filmmaking experience. Token holders will have the opportunity to actively participate in the creative choices. From development to post production, you will have the ability to vote and decide on key film elements such as director, storyline, cast, etc.

The Bitcoin Movie is set to become the first film in history to use blockchain technology and smart contracts to run a film production.

This is the absolute worst decision making process imaginable for making a movie. You'll end up making the worst movie possible, what next, use blockchain and smart contracts to raise children.

Investing in The Bitcoin Movie will represent an equity stake in the production of the film where profits generated by the resulting film will be distributed amongst token holders. The Bitcoin Movie Tokens will give voting power to its proprietor and allow him/her to vote on important decisions in the filmmaking process. Therefore, The Bitcoin Movie represented by its token holders will take the position of a production company and financing entity. The Bitcoin Movie token holder's responsibility lies in hiring the right people for the job — not to interfere in the work of experienced movie professionals.

Your OP says

"From development to post production, you will have the ability to vote and decide on key film elements such as director, storyline, cast, etc."

This almost certainly gaurantees a cluster fuck process, I'll give you one example out of many that come to mind; if token holders vote on key elements like director, storyline and cast, that implies a range of candidates in each area will consent to having a public process where all necessary offers, counter offers, conditionals etc are made public, so the token holders can make a decision on who to vote for. Do you really think professional recruitment can work like that, without NDA's and confidentiality?

What you are proposing is a reality tv style recruitment process, where amateurs with nothing to lose offer themselves up for Movie Idol, and the token holders vote candidates off the 'tribe'. Now, that might make the 'recruitment' process a potential reality tv show, but the Movie it makes will be complete dog shit.

Small time Movie deals go like this. Someone writes a good script, it gets past around, sometimes for years, until some 'money' gets behind it. Then a BIG name signs on, then the script, money, and big name attract more money and other Big names. Then, depending on the Big names there might be script rewrites.  Once the ball starts rolling the initial investors don't have any say at all, the big name actors, directors, producers,  cinematographers etc do. Usually the original writer gets blown off and has little say in the finished product.

Movie making deals are messy, secretive, top down and hierarchical, it can't be turned into a democratic process, too many conditionals, 'I'll be in your movie if X is the director, but not Y, unless Z is the co-star, in which case I MUST have P doing rewrites on the sex scene'

Sorry to hijack your thread dude (Actually not sorry at all - because I think this is a scam).... But... You might want to reconsider the idea of this being an equity stake project - if in deed you are preparing to make a movie and not just trying to scam people for coin. An equity stake requires you to run full disclosure, KYC and full Due Diligence in the USA & UK particularly. This costs money - real money...  I notice your website is registered in Panama though. so I suspect this is a scam.

There is however a real Bitcoin Movie (Well actually a full TV series) in development, with full tokenised ICO and an advisory board of moviemakers & TV specialists. Not to mention one of the world's leading Blockchain consultants.

Watch out for The 21 Million Project..

Coming very soon to a TV near you.

This is the second bitcoin movie idea I have seen in the span of a few weeks. The other one was for indie movies. This is a huge task are you sure you up for it ? I mean where is this movie coming from ? Who will create it ? What's it a out and what sre your future plans for this ? I am interested but will need to see more before investing. Thanks for understanding and good luck.
