Cold Wallet - The First Real Crypto Movie

[BABY SHOES]

After reading today's news about the Cold Wallet Movie it was a very curious concern for me because I wanted to watch this movie after reading the story at length in this article:

I am not explaining more but you can see this article about Cold Wallet Movie and its story.

After reading from the Indiewire article it will premiere at the 2024 SXSW Film & TV Festival on March 8, well what I'm curious about here is have any of you watched it? I only saw the 1 minute tailer.

Has this movie aired on other movie platforms such as Netflix and others? If there is I will watch it even though it has to be paid.

I just watched the teaser trailer too, looks like a fun heist flick with a crypto twist!  Just like you, I havent heard of it being on any streaming platforms yet (Netflix, Hulu, etc.).  There is no official word yet on a wider release.  Sometimes these festival films take a while to find a home on streaming platforms.

I think that it will only be available for public viewing on the different movie platforms after it has been aired first on the movie festival. I think that's how it works. The feeling of loss, anger, frustration and other emotions experienced by the actors in the movie who invested in crypto is very relatable to anyone who has lost money in any crypto exchange. I am eager to see this movie. In my mind, I have given the trailer a 3/10. I'll add it up with my rating of the complete movie when I see it.

This ain't bad, at least, compared from the previous crypto movies I heard of.

After a crypto exchange collapses, a group of Redditors set out to recover their funds from the CEO—by whatever means necessary.

I might actually watch this if the opportunity arises but it looks like an indie film to me so I'm not expecting major streaming platforms to pick this up unless this blew up or something. Do keep us updated if you find any online platforms, @op or anyone here lol.

I don't think there has been a truly great crypto movie yet, either.  Maybe it's hard to capture the fast-paced, ever-changing nature of the space in a traditional film format.  It's a complex story to tell!  Maybe Hollywood is still figuring it out.

Speaking of, have you seen any crypto-related ones that you actually enjoyed?  I'd love to hear some recommendations

Quite a weird and bland movie title that doesn't even spark a bit of interest, even with me — someone who's so into this kind of shit.

Anyway, at the very least this trailer shows how freakin important it is to be private with your crypto holdings. You don't want to be like this guy in the movie, that's going to be hit with a $5 wrench attack.

I think it's also because a lot of us knows more about crypto more than the average people so crypto films can easily come across as edgy or tacky.  Kinda how doctors get the ick on medical shows whenever characters starts shouting at each other everytime in the OR lol.

Further, I can't speak for others but i'm so tired of the illegal activities plot devices.

Nothing lol. I did see trailers and read synopsis but it has never gotten to a point where I wanted to watch it.

Seems that the movie is relatively decent, just basing on the trailer. At least better than previous crypto movies. Remember the Crypto movie (2019) having actors with the likes of Kurt Russell and Luke Hemsworth. For me, this movie didn't justify what crypto is all about. But anyway, seems that the film directors haven't realized yet how they can portray crypto in a good light or the true nature of crypto. I believe film people should consult the likes of Buterin...

Not sure how this relates to this topic(a movie lol), but if you installed it on an air-gapped device running a secure open-source Linux OS like Tails, then sure. Otherwise, no.

If you don't know what you're doing, just purchase a Ledger or Trezor hardware wallet. Don't complicate it.

Just watched the trailer. I am surprised this is the first I’m hearing about it. Can’t wait to go watch this whether in the theater or when it comes to DVD/ some streaming platform. The only thing that kind of sucks is I’m pretty sure I just saw a Ledger wallet in the clip lol. I just absolutely despise ledger wallets. But that’s me. Thanks for making this post !

Although the film has a low budget which might make it less glamorous but the plot and message is timely and important. Besides educating viewers about the importance of embracing non-custodial wallets, it will also spread crypto awareness. I doubt the film can be viewed in any film channel currently because I couldn't find it in anyone. However, it would be great to take out time to watch this movie. And if I find it useful, recommending it to some of my friends wouldn't be a bad idea.

Every crypto film that is not spreading fud and looks realistics are always welcome

[ABCbits]

I was expecting real life story since the news title use term "Real Crypto Film", but actually it's a fiction. While it seems they serious about showing risk of custodial service, i'm not sure the movie itself will be that good or entertaining.

Has this movie aired on other movie platforms such as Netflix and others? If there is I will watch it even though it has to be paid.

The production official page (https://vanishingangle.com/dev-sales) show legal ways to watch their films, but currently it doesn't show any for this film. So i guess you should wait for some time before it airs on Netflix or other similar website.

Just watching this movie trailer makes me so curious how the whole movie will be suspenseful? It looks like it will attract many people to watch it, but it looks like it will take a long time for us to enjoy watching this movie.

Haha you are quite observant to see that Ledger is in the screenplay of this movie, it is clear that Ledger will be hated a lot after their previous decision to backup his seed phrase.

"or threaten you to send over the funds to them by using a deadly weapon or a basic tool that can be used for harm like a kitchen knife, a hammer, a screwdriver"

They literally have a hammer and a crowbar in that movie. Hardware store villains

The trailer isn't that bad, pretty normal for a b movie. I've seen worse than that.
More or less the same genre as Don't Breathe, just worse budget, fresh actors and all that. Probably going to be disappointing, but I like thrillers and I'd watch it if there was nothing better.

As for the safety of your home, most of us underestimate it until they have to really face a burglary or an invasion. Then we hope we had that lock on bedroom's door, or a video camera, but it's too late.
These things usually happen only once in our lives and you either are prepared or not. Buying all that stuff after the fact won't make much difference.

Yeah since this movie is about cold wallet storage i think it has alot of  positivity than it negative spread but then as you said, any bitcoin movie is a welcome development if it will give more insight into bitcoin security and management of risk.


I have watched about two of such bitcoin movie's and I fine this interesting and I am going jump on this one also.

[bittraffic]

It had its premiere last March but is still not in theaters. Movies like this are going to scare a crypto holder that's why it's not released to the theaters. The message is its dangerous to own BTC lol

It looks like a scenario that will likely happen in the future especially when criminals know you own some BTC. They will come to get them, storm your house and cut your penis if you don't give up your private keys. But I'm already hooked even when it's just a trailer.

[buwaytress]

The first real crypto movie? I was almost tempted to watch it until I saw the word "heist". At least Dope semi-described what Silk Road might have looked like for some people but why does a Bitcoin movie always have to have an element of crime attached?

I suppose the story of buway the guy who finally found a way to conduct business and send money home without restrictions is too boring for a "real crypto film".
