Bitcoin was one of the greatest technologies created by human, in addition to being a disruptive invention, cryptocurrency has become popular every day and more people are adept in this innovation.
So, below are some movies/documentaries that will help you to understand more about cripto, and how the technology behind bitcoin works.

In the short, he shows the young man's discovery of the cryptocurrency, and how he applied the technology in his favor. In the mini documentary he also mentions that the main adoption of the use of bitcoin for transfers by Robert is the speed, reduction of bureaucracy, and the transfer rates being very low.


• The Bitcoin Gospel (2015)
This documentary that shows the practical use of Bitcoin in the business world, its advantages and also its main functions. A group of entrepreneurs and activists have a view that the world's banks and governments have great control over the world's financial system. But, what if the mass population could be able to control their own money, without the need for the intervention of large banks around the world? That's what the documentary is about, and the production also features entrepreneur Roger Keith Ver, also known as a “Bitcoin Evangelist,” who uses cryptocurrency to boost his business.

There's also "The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin" which has a 7.2 rating on IMDB currently. I can't remember what ones I've actually watched on this list. I remember watching a few Bitcoin documentaries, but I wasn't overly impressed with some of them. I found some of them pretty inaccurate, and a lot of them dramatised. I guess to make a documentary about a cryptocurrency you have to somewhat dramatise it to keep the general audience engaged.

I also have a similar experience, everything I've seen is actually very superficial and with a lot of inaccuracy, and although I have nothing against constructive criticism, most of what I've seen has a fair amount of negativity as the main message. I recently started watching some sort of documentary on Netflix that deals with the history of money, and I soon ended up watching when the author cited the example of Bitcoin as an example of a pump&dump scheme.

[Collection Thread] Series and films in which Bitcoin (or Altcoins) appear

Currently binge watching How to sell drugs online (fast) in Netflix and I am quite surprised that in Season 2 episode 1, they have mentioned the importance of using "bitcoin mixer" to obfuscate their transactions when they bought their €350.00 champagne because they are earning it illegally  .

Even though it's just a short scene, you can say that they put an effort in researching on some of its deeper technical concept that is different from the typical black market scenes on other movies.

good list. There are also some good YT podcasts on the topic from authors like Lemmino, Cold Fusion, and great conversations on podcasts like the Lex Friedman podcast. I know the topic is not podcasts or short YT docus, but I recommend anyone that wants some additional perspectives to go and check it out.

Thanks for your contributions guys! 

Exist others movies/documentaries about Bitcoin and Blockchain that I haven't said. The ones I mentioned are the ones I've already seen and found it very interesting to share with you (maybe it might help any newbie who is interested in learning about crypto).
I also agree, some of this content is dramatized to get attention, but I believe this is normal as some movies these days still do that.

Even my mother, who has an advanced age, watched a documentary about crypto, and found it interesting and also got to know about crypto and blockchain (even superficially)

wow, i didn't know of the existence of this topic, thanks for introducing me! 

I didn't find it on this list that @tyz created, but a series on Netflix, Money Heist (La Casa de Papel), has a scene where Rio accesses DeepWeb/DarkNet to buy some weapons and ammo, and he still says to the Professor that he will pay using Bitcoin, which is an easy method for them not to be tracked! (I just don't remember which season or episode it happened)
