Are there any lines ? I want to translate it to other language.

This.

And if you give us the lines a bit before the work is released you may be able to put all the subs on the DVD.

Nice,

I spoke with someone at the GigaOm conference that was also doing a documentary -- but I think he's a ways back of yours. His main argument was that the profit motive was going to kill Bitcoin as an alternative currency -- essentially for profits will mainstream it inside the existing system.

This is absurd. This is anything but a documentary. It's an impressive piece of propaganda, but to be a documentary it needs to be more than "These bitcoins are the solution to everything and they will fellate you in your sleep"

I don't think you understand what a documentary is.  Documentaries are SUPPOSED to have sided on something and have an opinion.

Hi everyone,

Thank you all so much for the kind words.  We have been working hard for over a year on the documentary and are excited to be on the home stretch.  We really appreciate all of your support and are looking forward to showing you the final film.

Since we are still in production, we released this as a working trailer to be premiered at Bitcoin 2013.  It doesn't dive into the deeper story-lines, character arcs, dramatic elements, or political and economical debates that we will be covering in the film.  Once we have our final trailer(s) out, you will see much more of that.  We'll be posting more content as time progresses, so keep an eye out!

We really appreciate the donations that have been coming in since the release of the trailer as well.  We've been working for a long time, and the support means a lot to us, so thank you again.  Here are some of our official links:

Also, for anyone who is wondering, we are aware of the crowd-funded bitcoin documentary and consider our film to be the other "first" bitcoin documentary.  We have been in communication with Johannes and his team for the past few weeks and we are keeping the door open for possible collaboration between the two projects.  These are fast times in the bitcoin world and we are looking forward to bringing our stories to the community!

Very nice^
Bitcoin is about collaboration and sharing.
I'd like to see the bitcoiners from Africa, Asia, Russia, Europe etc..

Very nice work ☺

Very nice, guys. If the docu lives up to the trailer it will be awesome!

This is not necessarily a true.  a GOOD documentary will still provide opposing arguments - and come to a balanced point of view after considering both supporting and contrary arguments

this doc still looks good though. impossible to tell from the trailer whether it touches on potential problems/disadvantages with bitcoin.

That was my first impression too.

Do not forget about Hal Finney, he deserve it.
