Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It

Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It examines the history of money through the ages, from bartering in ancient societies to the technological innovations that led to the advent of cryptocurrencies in the modern era. It also dissects some of the practices of central banks and financial institutions that contributed to the last economic crisis.

The film explains how money today is effectively created from nothing when banks generate debt, the government’s influence on this process, and its inflationary impact. It also explores whether Bitcoin is a viable alternative to fiat currency, whether it could revolutionise peer-to-peer financial transactions, or whether it will simply become a tool for criminal activity. Is it the next big thing in money, or just a passing trend?
