<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, a form of money that uses cryptography to control its creation and management, rather than relying on central authorities. However, not all of the technologies and concepts that make up bitcoin are new; the presumed pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto (the creator of bitcoin, see below) integrated many existing ideas from the cypherpunk community when creating bitcoin.<br /> <br /> From its introduction to the public in 2008 with Satoshi Nakamoto’s white paper, up to today, bitcoin has endured dramatic highs and even more spellbinding lows as the community has matured alongside the technology.<br /> <br /> With all of the scandal, tales of overnight millionaires and the captivating nature of such a disruptive invention, it should come as no surprise that many filmmakers are jumping at the opportunity to tell stories about bitcoin’s impact on people's lives and society as a whole.</span></span><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><img alt="Bitcoin A Digital Currency Documentary" border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Tl_aKsP6-THfJvbwYjd0zOhWoqVI1lD5MyHRD_br9huD9fCr_8U8gOCaqMIdkV6E1_3LTsCS0CrKDdaANjLMj7agFQhBf4XDtNnfB-nM5FxcdenpLj4Ym9k84XznxoE3SQZ7tutPwbs/s400/bitcoin+documentary.jpg" title="Bitcoin A Digital Currency Documentary" width="400" /></span></span></div> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /> </span></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Documentaries are an approachable and entertaining medium for educating audiences all over the world on their subject matter, so it's certainly fitting that there are a number of bitcoin documentaries in production.<br /> <br /> These six documentaries highlight bitcoin’s different use cases, its short but dramatic journey over the past five years, and its position in a long history of financial systems.</span></span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /> <b>1.  ‘Bitcoin: The End of Money As We Know It'</b></span></span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /> </span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Bitcoin: The End Of Money As We Know It traces the history of money from the ancient world to the trading floors of Wall St. The documentary exposes the practices of central banks and the dubious financial actors who brought the world to its knees in the last crisis. It highlights the Government influence on the money creation process and how it causes inflation. Moreover, this film explains how most money we use today is created out of thin air by banks when they create debt. </span></span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /> </span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Epic in scope, this film examines the patterns of technological innovation and questions everything you thought you knew about money.

'Bitcoin Documentary: The Bitcoin Gospel'</b></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A devoted group of entrepreneurs and activists believe they see the writing on the wall, and they're determined to add a new chapter. In their view, the world banks and governments harbor too much control over the financial vitality of the masses. But what if an ordinary citizen could bypass all the regulation and manipulation of the financial industry to become their own bank? The insightful new documentary The Bitcoin Gospel examines one such method for making this hypothetical a tangible reality.<br /> <br /> The concept took hold in 2009 following the global financial crisis of the previous year. Rising from the ashes of that catastrophe, Bitcoin represented a tidal shift in the way we procure, save and spend money without involvement or interference from banks or other mediators. In short, this exciting new digital currency held the promise of a world in which we would no longer be slaves to the financial elite. Consumers could buy and sell goods anywhere around the world without the constrictions of currency exchange or conversion.<br /> <br /> While the popularity of Bitcoin has blossomed since its initial inception, the system has faced significant hurdles and adversity along the way and a number of setbacks are now beginning to come into focus. In cutting out the middleman, Bitcoin provides an escape from the burdensome fees that banks and other institutions normally charge for traditional transactions. But that anonymity comes at a price; it may appeal to most users for their legitimate every day transactions, but it can also empower greater flexibility for criminal activities to flourish.<br /> <br /> Detractors also claim that the rising prominence of Bitcoin has inspired exactly the sort of elitist society the system was devised to defeat. As a result of these and other concerns, the currency has inspired the critical eye of government legislators and major players from the monetary sector.<br /> <br /> The Bitcoin Gospel covers all of these issues and more in admirably even-handed fashion. According to the evidence and testimony presented in the film, and in spite of its myriad of potential defects, Bitcoin represents a growing movement of citizens who want to redefine the nature of capitalism on a global scale.</span><br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><complete id="goog_2094015847"></complete></span><br /> <div id="fb-root"> </div> <script>(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script><br /> <div class="fb-video" data-allowfullscreen="1" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/webitcoin/videos/1075262449202643/"> <div class="fb-xfbml-parse-ignore"> <blockquote cite="https://www.facebook.com/webitcoin/videos/1075262449202643/"> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/webitcoin/videos/1075262449202643/">Bitcoin Documentary: The Bitcoin Gospel</a></span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Posted by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/webitcoin/">We Bitcoin</a> on Monday, March 7, 2016</span></blockquote> </div> </div> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div> </div> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /> </span></div>
