[TheFootMan]

Sorry if this already has been posted elsewhere. If there's just one movie I'm going to see this year, this will be it.

A film about bitcoin is apparently coming out in March 2014:

Storyline:

Dan is a 35 year old computer programmer from Pittsburgh who lives a busy life. Along with balancing work, his marriage, and raising his three boys, Dan spends much of his time actively involved in all things Bitcoin. After discovering Bitcoin in 2011, his love and obsession for the crypto-currency was born, revealing an uncharted world of new possibilities for him to explore. Join us as we take a journey through the rapidly growing world of Bitcoin. Along the way, we'll follow the stories of entrepreneurs and startups that are helping shape the new financial frontier. We'll look at the competitive mining market and the various subcultures within the Bitcoin community. You'll encounter a variety of characters and opinions as we examine the social and political impact of an open-source digital currency. Will the rise of Bitcoin bring a monetary paradigm shift that will forever change the world?

Rather unfortunate timing for them! Still, it may help with the recovery.

Should have been: The Rise and Rise (then the mtgox induced crash) of bitcoin

[dhankitsu]

add to wacth list

"The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin" great title

I suspect it only covers til  April 2013? 

Certainly not past December 2013. 
Otherwise it would be called: The Rise, Rise, Bump, Thud, Plop, & Sputter Of Bitcoin.

Haha.

OP, you make this sound like a movie, but it's just a documentary. I thought somebody had actually hired an actor to play Mark Karpeles at first  .

I could not stop laughing when I got to the part where the guy says: 'I spend thousands of dollars each day just to make sure that I don't don't go to jail ... ' that's the same guy whose btc the feds took and is sitting in jail today (I think) ... dammmmmmmmmm

This could be a good thing and a bad one too.
It all comes down on what it is about and how well it is filmed.

'The Silk Road To Magic Mountain, A Bitter Truth'  

There's already a couple of Silk Road documentaries in the works and a movie.

Make sure you stock up with btc just prior to opening day because regardless of how bad it looks like btc gets hit it will cause a surge (30%+) in value

Haha, yeah, I could see a lot of people going home and buying coins after the movie. It's probably 2 or 3 years away yet I reckon. They're writing the script at the moment.
