A question: How does the organic farmer in the film spend his bitcoins?

We asked during the interview and he responded that it was not in our businesses what he did with his money Smiley I very much agree!

However I would guess that he exchange some of them to argentinian pesos and some of them he saves in bitcoins.

Donation sent, I very much appreciate you doing this. This is going to be very important for Bitcoin. Not only these documentaries put real concrete pictures on what we all know, but they also are the very first cases of demonstrating Bitcoin in real life. Journalists, regulators, bankers, everyone are living in a glass bubble somehow disconnected from reality, and thus misunderstanding can become a risk for Bitcoin. The only way to change this is what you guys are doing.

Excellent to see bitcoins and altcoins allowing the creation and free flow of small business, we need to move away from big business and chemical laced produce and move to organic. I'm glad to be a part of the change.

Thanks for sharing Smiley

I buy my food to local organic farmers. They don't accept bitcoin yet.

I think that the move to organic farming and the move to bitcoins are examples that we are movings towards more efficient and sutainable models.
