Netflix to make a documentary about the altcoin side of crypto

[TheCoinGrabber]

Haven't watched that first docu yet (I refuse to get Netflix until I get a connection with no data cap).

Unless the docu is long enough (provided they make at least 8 eps) I think it would take a negative spin on the alt market. After all, these alts sprout up like mushrooms after rain, many just bringing investors and traders nothing but disappointments.

This is going to be interesting. I can sort of already guess what scenes are going to be shown.

1. Person X invested in some altcoins at the beginning of 2017.
2. Person X earned huge amounts of money due to the bull run.
3. Person X invested a lot more in the end of 2017.
4. As the price continues to go down, person X bought a lot of dips.
5. Now in 2019, person X is now financially screwed.

Yes, this would likely be the storyline. These docus can get melodramatic sometimes.

Surely it will.
Besides a huge amount of altcoins and scamcoins from 2017 all dark web stuff still can be considered as a "dark side" of cryptocurrencies. I bet that in that documentary all cryptocurrencies will be blamed and considered as an instrument of committing crimes. No matter if it if financial crimes with different Ponzi schemes, hacks, grug, gun or adult traffic.

It should be interesting. Netflix provides quite good content. True, not always. But the topic of cryptocurrency is uncharted land. Especially for those people who have not been interested in this before. If Netflix approaches making a film without any reason and shows different sides, then many people will be able to learn about cryptocurrencies much more than they know now and it is quite possible that they will want to learn more about cryptocurrencies after watching the movie. But if Netflix only shows how thousands of people went bankrupt or lost money, then this will certainly be a negative film in relation to cryptocurrencies.

That's good but in my opinion, this is the right time released the documentary so those who have left the industry will be motivated to come back again unless the documentary shows the negative aspects of investing in cryptocurrency.

These documentaries don't work because the price is too volatile. It needs to be made and released within a few months rather than after a year, otherwise it will be out of date already

So it would take more than a year to make such documentary? If they interview Warren Buffet is wouldn't be that worth watching.

I heard BBC was also create a documentary about ICO scam in crypto since 2017 but up to now there weren't update about it, they must be finding it hard since the users are anonymous.

It's probably going to turn into how the Bank of England's cryptocurrency release did (a document saying they were going to make something and then finally thankfully didn't). I would be happy if they did though in some ways. Imagine if everyone pulled their money out of banks and had it on the chain and epople can finally know how much money is actually in circulation and something can happen about the issue with the banks there (3-6 banks have a huge market share that's so huge it's rediculous).

I thought they were making it about the 2017 bubble pop with ICOs and Bitcoin alike. They're already a year behind then at least before they've actually worked out there was one (probably - I mean it is Netflix after all).

That's good but in my opinion, this is the right time released the documentary so those who have left the industry will be motivated to come back again unless the documentary shows the negative aspects of investing in cryptocurrency.

I think it's probably going to be biased towards fiat with the fear of accidentally manipulating the markets. I suppose since it's so ong since then people can't blame a greater fall in bitcoin on them (which might have happened if they released it as we were still falling - especially if it came out just before we went below $6k - then they'd have some issues on their hands).

On the third part of crypto documentaries that Netflix will provide,i think it is about ICO tokens?Well the ICO deserves attentions also do you agree guys?

But what mj says i guess thats the sequel they will create though we have another year to wait for the outcome.but can’t wait to watch and see what’s inside

4. As the price continues to go down, person X bought a lot of dips.
5. Now in 2019, person X is now financially screwed.

Made my day after reading the number 5 in the list. haha! It is accurate. I hope the scene will be inspiring to all newly adopters of bitcoin or even into all of us who have a reliance on cryptocurrency.

With the success of their last documentary about the ever surging interest in cryptocurrencies Banking on bitcoin was made for those who were wanting to learn just how bitcoin was created and how it was doing 7 years after the first transaction was made. As another thread was created about the netflix feature film.
I decided this news would be more intriguing to those who are in the other half of the spectrum
The alternative coin market of cryptocurrencies.

Netflix has announced they are working on a film/8 part documentary about the mysterious dark side of cryptocurrency. Well because it is in the background of the king of crypto.
There was alot of fallout in these alt coin markets due to the prices of some dropping to 95% of their value in just 6 months after those who purchased them causing people to be financially ruined.

They say this documentary will be released in 2020.

This is great! It will help a lot to promote cryptocurrencies worldwide. This can ba an educational video for people who wants to learn more about cryptocurrencies. I hope that Netflix will make a movie about Satoshi Nakamoto. They would assume the life of Satoshi Nakamoto and the reasons why he decided to make Bitcoin. Isn't it great?

[Commitments]

Best ideas how Netflix want to promote altcoin and bitcoin for all their costumer and make bitcoin become popular transaction, when bitcoin raised to higher price many investor will get much profit later.

[Nassim_1990]

this can be good, and also bad, it depends on the presenting.
Media can destroy bitcoin by giving a bad image that will discourage investors to proceed in this field.
professional people of this forum better make an appearance at this show, to give an honest market evaluation, do not fully rely on university professors. whom I guess the network will contact for interviews.

[Kakmakr]

I guess it is only fair to also hear/see the other side of Crypto currencies, right? We cannot deny that loads of shitcoins were merely introduced as pump n dump coins and some Alt coins were produced to back scam ICOs. A lot of us have first hand experience of that and we were taken for a ride during the peak ICO period in 2016 and 2017. 

Crypto currencies are not in any way immune to criminal activities, which is normal for any other scene where "money" or "wealth" are linked to a technology. <PayPal / Credit cards etc.>

Well it is a huge part of the crypto market, so sure. They may already include it in this upcoming one because how much is there actually to discuss about alts? ICOs may be almost completely irrelevant by 2020 though lol.

But yeah, Netflix seem to be banking it in with documentaries lately. I hope this one is presented as objectively as possible, considering the biases in some of their recent work.

you are so funny but the story will not start from x 2017 and will not end in 2019 because the ICO market has been in existence before 2017 just that it was in 2017 that the bull run in the cryptocurrency market happened and at that 2017 become a remarkable year in cryptocurrency history. It will be a nice job by Netflix because the documentary will help to dig deep into the unravel side of the entire cryptocurrency and help our background knowledge about the cryptocurrency world and blockchain, we keep the wait 2020 is around the corner.

And it's about time that people learn more about icos and what they're about. The ico market had suffered a lot because of people losing money mainly because they're not properly educated about icos. I agree that it's an essential part of crypto and a lot of good icos may come very useful in the future and deserve proper funding.

I hope it will be a documentary with real facts, showing both good and bad things about it. Not just some propaganda movie

You just described me......

6. Lost a lot of BTC in ICO scams.
7. super depressed
8. relationships badly suffering, will probably loose family.
9. Got friends and family  into Crypto... cant even visit them these days!

I would not recommend anyone get into crypto....

[yrrehc16]

6. In 2020, person X earn a lot of profit due to the bull run.

 

But I wonder why that article mention about PACCoin and not with the popular coins like Ethereum, Ripple, or other else in the top 10 positions? Or they want to promote those coin to the public? If yes, then it will be interesting to wait for the launch and watching that documentary.

Is the PACCOIN that mentioned was the old one? they forked the token already right?
And i am waiting for the PAC COIN which promoted by Manny Pacquiao under GCOX.
please confirm!

It will be an interesting documentary without a doubt, i hope they will conduct an investigation series about the high end scam ICO and what happens after collecting the amount and whether they are using it wisely and other details, majority of the altcoins are losing their value from the initial price they had and it is difficult to maintain the project and some have closed their doors entirely because of that and hopefully it will be a good series.
