Now Streaming on Amazon Prime Video: RIZQI PRESENTS BLOCKCHAIN

[philthefacilitator]

Rizqi Presents Blockchain is a hit in its first week!

On behalf of the entire team at NODEHAUS and CoinDesk, I wanted to personally thank the entire blockchain community for helping us make this idea into a reality.

We are already in pre-production for Season 2, and are absolutely enthused and energized looking forward to the future.

In hindsight, we probably should have marketed on this website a lot sooner.

Hey, show director here! Just wanted to say thanks and I'm really glad we were able to get this thing in the can! I think the feedback's been incredible and I'm looking forward to the next season! Thanks Phil!

And can you tell us what's your role in this project (Are you actor, producer, scenarist or etc)?
Short description of second serie is a hype for me, what does it mean decentralized internet based on blockchain technology? Can you make it clear here if it won't affect production? Btw good theme to discuss. Internet isn't as centralized as governments want, a lot of thing gives us possibility to keep serious anonimity.
Wish you success production and popularity.

Great question, I'm a Producer. In synopsis, the show is hosted by Rizqi Rachmat, who travels around interviewing people in the blockchain industry, and more or less shows an "introductory" overview to people who aren't necessarily savvy or familiar on the technology.

The second episode is actually "Blockchain As Internet" so you might be interested in that one specifically.

The first episode is free to watch on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/ZiBYoNrkhFw

Since I have Amazon Prime Indian membership, I can't watch the other episodes but I did watch the first one on YouTube. Great to see the Hyperblock Data Center and the mining equipment and how they actually believe so much in Bitcoins that they have invested so much funds in it.

Hey Erikalui! I just wanted to chime in; we're planning on finding an international distribution channel -- I'm thinking Vimeo On-Demand or a similar service, but if you're interested, I'll keep you updated!

Sure, keep me updated. Vimeo is better. Season 1 has how many episodes? Is each episode 14-15 mins long only?

Great! We just got onto the platform: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/rizqipresentsblockchain

It's 6 episodes, each around 15-23 minutes -- they're meant to be super simple intros to the industry for people to share and help people understand the tech

Hey guys, I wanted to send out the signal that we'll be at Consensus this year! We're going to be setting up a little media station to source the community for quick interviews and bumpers.

Who's coming??

[eternalgloom]

Great work bringing blockchain more into the mainstream!
I'll definitely rent out Season 1 on Vimeo to check it out, €4.42 isn't that expensive after all

What is the chances of this being shown on Netflix too? Currently Netflix users are growing phenomenally and it would be great if something like this could be viewed on a platform with that amount of registered viewers.

I am not subscribed to Amazon Video, but I will subscribe soon just to watch this. Paying annual Prime Membership of $99 is not too much for quality content. 

Thanks for posting this OP.

We're starting development for Season 2, and we're opening talks with Netflix We'll have to see what we can do

Thanks, because some of my relatives already have Amazon Prime access but it's region blocked, so not everyone can get access to all the content that are shown on their platform.

I know people in India only have limited access to the content that are shown on Amazon Prime, compared to what is shown in the USA & UK for instance. You should get a platform for your content that are not region blocked.

There is a bigger audience waiting if this can be shown in Netflix though getting there can be difficult as there is a strict vetting process. However, there are now many venues that one can use to deliver the product to intended audience. I am always thankful of people who have the vision to do something about Bitcoin and make it reachable by the masses. This may not be making a very big contribution towards more Bitcoin adoption but this certainly can be helping a lot. At the end of the day, it is education that can help spread the message of the blockchain and Bitcoin to the whole world.

Absolutely agree, and we're talking with producers at Netflix to gain an edge, but they have a fairly closed process. Our main goal is to go international, though -- so we're looking at global distribution platforms more broadly.

The biggest thing for us right now is that, we're at Consensus and everyone's realizing that there hasn't a documentary on blockchain since 2015 basically, and those were pretty opaque still. We really are rising as one of the only currently relevant documentaries on the space and we want to make sure that's as accessible as possible.

If you've got a moment, give us a review?
