The most worth watching Bitcoin Documentaries

[killerfrost]

(...) I doubt that you're really surprised because bitcoin's been around for a decade and I don't think that content creators and filmmakers will pass up on bitcoin as a theme of their documentary or movie. You needn't worry about the distortion of information, there's a lot of smart people out there that can filter out the bad information about bitcoin.

You are reasoning with your own point of view, and you have stood in the position of different people while talking about this issue, don't take the matter from your own point of view but see the reality of it, I don't have the intention will have to explain it to you better, because I think the experience is different but it will also be realized how the problem is.

They're not movies OP, most of the titles that you've listed are documentaries and they're pretty different from a movie, it's just semantics though so who cares? Right? I recommend watching the Bitcoin Gospel, hard to watch if you are close minded because it talks about the negatives and suspicions that many detractors have pointed out over the years but all in all it's a good documentary. Accidentally watched that documentary while scrolling through my social media account.

Fine, I might watch it in the future, but my sincere advice to you, you are actually contradicting your own arguments, from the above you mentioned and on to this it has turned you into a contradiction.

What do you mean be reasoning with my own point of view? How else would I formulate my "reasoning" or opinion if not my own point of view and anyone is welcome to challenge that "reasoning". Also, what reality are you talking about? I just said in the quote that I doubt that you're really surprised, I do agree with you on the experience though.

What arguments are you talking about? What contradictions? The stuff that I've only talked about is that I doubt your reaction to the plethora of media that has bitcoin as the center of the theme or the story and the easing of your worry about information distortion. Also, I wasn't recommending that documentary to you, it's a general recommendation.

I see relatively Bitcoin movies on YouTube. He helps you understand how Bitcoin moves and not only BTC and other cryptocurrency. They release some video about cryptocurrency daily and weekly. There are a large amount of well-made crypto factual that have always been released on the YouTube.

There are a lot of movies about BITCOIN and cryptocurrencies but can you guys with more experience tell newbies like me what movies to watch to understand more about crypto and how to make money from this market?

Jimmy Zhong is a user and hacker who exploited Silk Road and successfully got many bitcoin from it.

Eventually he was arrested but his story is very dramatic and you can watch the documentary video to understand more

His account on Bitcointalk is mb300sd

If you are here to make money by trading and investing, then movies about bitcoin is not the thing for you. At least hollywood movies who might portray BTC in the wrong way like being used by criminals and the underground like dark market.

So should read books like this big list by @Ratimov here: Big Library of Bitcoin & Blockchain Books.

There are a lot of crypto movies being filmed. Bitcoin has come a very long from mentioning it in passing in movies to finally making a whole movie and docuseries on it. I would like to a real life bitcoin movie about bitcoin and El Salvador. I don't just want a documentary or interview based film, I want a whole movies that has fiction and non-fiction embedded in it. Looking to South-America movie directors and scriptwriter to take a cue.

Trading is not what I recommend but if anyone want to trade and learn about trading.

Awesome crypto trading on Github is a good free resource to learn.

One of the best weapons in trading, the stop loss order.

Documentary films are good because they respect facts and reflect it neutrally enough. It can be better than live videos from influencers on social media which don't neutrally reflect what happen in society. Influencers only make live videos on what they like or hate, they lack of neutral balance.

With documentary films, you will get some overview information around events in the film as well as some insightful remarks. It is helpful information but you must draw your own conclusion with information from documentary films.

If you want to understand more about bitcoin, we have available documents, youtube videos that explain everything about bitcoin in detail and clearly.  why don't you go to them, why waste time looking for a movie about bitcoin?  to be honest, I have no interest in bitcoin movies because its purpose is not to propagate bitcoin to people but producers are taking advantage of its popularity to make movies with the desire to bring in revenue for them. 
If you really want to learn about bitcoin you should be serious about it, a documentary or a cartoon about bitcoin is never a good way to learn about it.

Unfriended Dark Web is also a good one to watch where dark web and cryptocurrency is involve. It's thrilling and kinda gross to watch since murder and other disturbing things that happens in the dark web is there. It's story is about a guy or a girl I can't remember it well but they found a laptop in a cafe where the guy works and they opened it out of their curiosity. The laptop has a cryptocurrency wallet that has a lot of money so they are having second thoughts to return it to the owner.

And that's where their nightmare begins when they explored the laptop files.

I don't like seeing movies, even when my girlfriend persuades me to the cinema, nothing actually interests me. But seeing this description, I am overly interested to see this movie. Who knows it could be the beginning of me liking videos so that at my leisure I will actually have a good time with my girlfriend.

This will also make my girlfriend develop interest in bitcoin and cryptocurrency. I know if I start watching bitcoin related movies, she will gradually join me and her bitcoin knowledge will surely increase.

Op, you made a nice compilation and I wish this thread will be alive for people to always discuss. Many people will like to see a full bitcoin movie.

[Stepstowealth]

These movies have to be interesting to watch if not it will still not attract people to watch it to the end to actually here more mentions of bitcoins. If the movies are not worth watching, people can easily loose interest from the beginning.

In the current digital technology era, blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies have become inevitable. And bitcoin is the first and most popular cryptocurrency to date. So what is bitcoin, how is it created, what benefits does it have become a great concern of the whole society. Movies about bitcoin were born to help us have a more objective view of cryptocurrencies and its impacts on the global economy and society:

Just as there are more movies now generally on LGBT to condition people into accepting it because it has now been accepted as normal by very influential countries, If big countries accept bitcoins, producers of movies will be indulged to include bitcoins in most of the movies, and there will be more mention of bitcoins in movies that they will produce later on, and that will promote acceptance.

[Mr.suevie]

Am a not a movie type of person as I do prefer reading books and to say the truth, I have very limited knowledge about Bitcoin movie and the Bitcoin cartoon was the first one I actually watch and even that one was because I came across the  reference from the forum here. I know Bitcoin has come a long way and it's growth is leading to different areas so seeing all these development is actually normal but I feel most of these movies can potray Bitcoin as a bad influence since most people just want to kill it.

[dothebeats]

Talk about dedication. This for sure took a lot of research so thank you OP. Researching about bitcoin can be found in various types of media so it is nice to have an actual list of movies and documentaries that mentions or touches bitcoin in a way. Also, may I suggest Unfriended: Darkweb, it touches on the darkweb and crypocurrency, although it a relatively bad light but still a good watch.

[Bananington]

Excepting the movies already mentioned here, I would also like to mention 3 Bitcoin documentaries which are very interesting:

• Deep Web
• Magic Money - The Bitcoin Revolution
• Bitcoin: Shape the Future

First one talks also about Silk Road saga.

Third one is first Bitcoin documentary made in Asia and many iconic figures appear in the film, such as Jihan Wu or executives of ViaBTC or other Asian crypto exchanges. Perhaps the most fascinating character from this documentary is a trader, whose face and voice are obscured, which brings more mystery to the movie. Among others, this trader also explain how he made his "first barrel of gold".

Out of all the movies mentioned so far, I have only come so close to seeing 'Deep web'. Although I didn't get to have the patience to wait for the introductory part because I was rushing to meet up a deadline, now the name has resurfaced, I am sure my interest has been renewed.
BTC has become a name that the old and young has got familiar with. As long as one has had interaction with different humans since birth till this current day, or has digital devices or technology to listen to or view from, then there's the chance they have come across the word, term or name, BTC.

[rikybrosh]

bitcoin is become something that really trendy, it is good for the growth of bitcoin adoption. I didn't know that the number of movie which include bitcoin in it's content is that many, but it seems that many of that movies are serious. I hope there more various genre on that list so the information about bitcoin will spread among various people. include bitcoin in comedy, horror or romantic genre seems not so relevant but if the story is good then I think there is no problem.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

These are not films, they are documentaries, but you can understand that from the context. I've seen some of the older ones, thanks for the list OP, I've seen that there are some newer ones less than a year old, I'll take the opportunity to watch them.

By the way, for some reason, Banking on Bitcoin, which I remember seeing back in the day, is no longer available from that link. Looking for it, I can find it from this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJa7HYKhSWw

but I doubt he has the permissions. I think what happened is that Amazon bought the rights and that's why they removed it from Youtube, because now it appears on Prime.

Those "movies" or should I say "documentaries" are very helpful for those newbies to learn something about Bitcoin.
It's like these if you're a newbie, and you want to learn the basics of Bitcoin, these are the ones that you need to watch. Now if you want to make money, these videos aren't the ones that you need. Find another set of videos where the topic is about how to make money from Bitcoin.

When I was still starting, some of the documentaries that you've shared OP are the ones that I had to watch, and I had to watch each of them multiple times so that it will stick to my mind. I don't know, but is documentaries and movies the same because most of the videos that OP shared are more of a documentary than a movie. Anyway, I recommend all of the newbies out there to at least watch those documentaries multiple times, focus on watching, and as much as possible do it alone so that you can focus on the video because most of the contents of the documentaries there will help you in the long run.

I think I'll go back in watching educational videos again especially the ones that some shared here.

[famososMuertos]

I see that you edited on June 24, so it seems that you didn't leave the thread, +1 , hence, " don't trust anyone," which is more of a documentary.

And, curiously the thread has the title "movies" but most are documentaries, I don't know all of them, but curious is that the film that refers to the forum and perhaps one of the most notorious cases is not there, Silk Road:..., available in prime. 

Obviously none of the ones I mentioned are free to use or available on YouTube, but it's worth mentioning.

Surely someone already mentioned them, if so, in any case, added me to that comment.

[panganib999]

Not really into short-form documentaries about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies but I found "but how does bitcoin actually work" by 3blue1brown which you can watch here to be the most in-depth and interesting bitcoin video out there. Tackled everything you need to know about computing and bitcoin, how it works on a fundamental level, which gives every newbie an in-depth journey in the inner works of bitcoin so they can gain proper understanding of how it works. It's also a little dumbed down by removing most of the hard to understand jargons which is really great for people like me who's not that keen when it comes to stuff that is a little hard for me to grasp in one go.

[Kakmakr]

You should actually change the Subject of your thread to "The most worth watching Bitcoin documentary" ...because you mostly listed documentaries in your thread. 

My favorite is ... "Bitcoin: The End of Money As We Know It" - because it came at a perfect time, when Bitcoin were stagnating. The movies mostly concentrate on the negative side of the Bitcoin use case, where it is associated with money laundering / hackers and crime.
