Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It documentary is out!

[turvarya]

$6 for the movie? I read that the director spent 2 years reasearching and filming it so I think it's a justified purchase.

a lot more than that was put into Game of Thrones, and yet.....

.. over a hundred million people worldwide subscribed to HBO, all paid for that.

How many people will watch a documentary about bitcoin?

only the bitcoin truly believers(not those that want bitcoin to dump for fiat for suret) and some random delusional nerd

then the fact that you need to pay will make it even worse for someone outside of the niche world of bitcoin, interested to look at it

there is still this bad sentiment sorrounding bitcoin which is really tough to beat for "recall" the masses

But we have this:

Shouldn't people already love Bitcoin?

True, but even many more millions didn't pay for a subscription to HBO and just download or stream the programs. I think TV or films are likely going to have to get their revenue from other sources eventually as over time people will stop paying for any media or going to the cinema or what not. I'll watch this documentary but with everything else I really can't afford to pay for every tv or movie or album I watch/listen/download.

Can I download it using Bitcoin?

Yes, theprotocol.tv lets you stream and/or download the movie for $6.

if they were trying to capitalise on profit they should have done a documentary on something else
even before i heard about this i would have known that a community such as bitcoin  (geeks and hackers and programmers  and scammers etc )
are going to rape my work for free via torrent or any other means they can

i doubt theres a single bitcoin user who doesnt know how to download a movie with utorrent etc so if something is available free ,most will take it for free
and keep their $6 for something less easy to steal ( like a big mac etc )

i am glad its being distributed for free because it helps awareness and adoption which is the overall goal and i will donate some btc anyway simply because of that
but i a not a bit surprised they will make hardly any cash from it since people dont think twice about downloading hollywood blockbusters that cost tens of millions to make
and actually are popular with a mainstream audience,  bitcoin which cannot possibly expect any  more than the latest tarantino movie which is also going to get shared millions of times for free before its even out on dvd etc

[czechkid]

they accept bitcoin ?
no.

so, they don't have my 6 USD ... simple.  like apple, vimeo, XXX porn ... 

They do accept it

[Beliathon]

Wow, we have to pay $5.99 to watch this video so i only watch the trailer.

No, you really don't. Do you even internet bro? Everything is free! Movies, music, games, tv shows, books, whatever, almost everything is there for the taking. A policeman is never coming to your door, I promise.

Information wants to be free, culture can not - will not - be contained by paywalls in the information age. Intellectual Copyright will be a dead concept by 2050.

[NeuroticFish]

The 16th message on this thread already had a valid magnet link.
But yeah, if some cannot download a bittorrent client and use the clipboard, they better pay the 6$.

[LiteCoinGuy]

watched it yesterday. nice docu but i have to mention that only 30% of the docu is about bitcoin. the rest is about money creation and money history.

It is strange that authors of that documentary did not put it on youtube for everyone. Instead they use pay-per-view sites. Which will undoubtedly make LESS profit for them than Youtube ads would bring.
I would understand this decision if topic was so interesting and mainstream but this is documentary! A Documentary about quite niche world of cryptocurrency, and you need to pay for it? Bad idea.

[Beliathon]

I love Bitcoin, but "documentary" is a bit of a stretch here. This is bitcoin propaganda, which is not the same as saying it's untrue.

I don't think it's propaganda. Propaganda has always a negative connotation to it with half-truths, this is a pretty decent documentary.

I am sure they had costs of making this film they need to cover. And, I think, if it helps public adoption of bitcoin and the further understanding of money, they should earn back that at least. However they see fit, YouTube ads, pay-per-view, or otherwise.

Anyway, thanks everyone that has shared links!

i think you wanted to say that about bad propaganda, what means that people trying to influence others for bad things, but there is good propaganda also

[Dajve]

Wow, I am really amazed about all the people who are shouting for a free link. Not that I pay for everything I watch, but I at least don't make it that obvious.
With this film, I am not sure, if I should pay. I just don't like streaming things. Can I download it using Bitcoin?

We all know you're not going to pay for it. I don't see the difference between asking for a free link and trying to cover up the fact that you may or may not pay for it. If people want it for free let them try watch it for free, for the others let them pay for it.

[runpaint]

This kind of program is exactly like what they show on Discovery, History Channel, etc. 

Good production quality, easy to understand for everyone.

[yeponlyone]

Thanks for the information of the movie, I never heard of it and would have missed it. Now it's safely downloaded - and I will donate money to them if I find it being a quality product.

[chek2fire]

I have seen it for a while and i think is a great documanter. gz! very nice work 

[600watt]

The docu is decent. give the guys who devoted two yrs of their life some credit & and Do not be gready about a few bucks ------ Keep the bigger frame in mind because this production is defenitely supporting the cause.

dont be greedy basterds, welcome those who support us, this documentary is supporting bitcoin ad much als possible.

Respect for the team that created it. Good work.

[chek2fire]

I have already pay it
