I watched this a couple of years ago. I guess it was meant to sing the praises of bitcoin but all it did for me was to confirm how sketchy it is
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2821314/
At the end it states “Satoshi Nakamoto is the pseudonym of the person or group who invented Bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency. Despite the enormous impact of this invention on financial markets and the world of technology, Nakamoto’s identity remains a major mystery in modern tech history.”
Nobody knows who created it....WHAT??!!
By design. A ton of countries sought them out to prosecute them under bogus charges.
Bitcoin — as sketch as it is — is a real threat to the government monopoly on fiat currency and central banking — which is even more “sketch”.
The Deep State wants them dead.
Yes, and as soon as a critical mass of people figure out that they've invested their savings into something with zero intrinsic value (and not backed by any legal guarantees, unlike paper money or government bonds), the whole house of cards will come crashing down.
I find it hilarious to hear libertarians complain about paper money being "fiat currency" while promoting cryptocurrency, which is one level below fiat: rather than being backed by laws of contract, it's backed by nothing at all.
How about computer generated artwork where you own the right to claim it as your own, but not necessarily the actual copyright and have no way to stop people from using it? There’s no limit to the profit on ugly monkey pictures!
