The Blockchain and Us (2017)

A film by Manuel Stagars: http://www.blockchain-documentary.com

In 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto invented the bitcoin and blockchain. For the first time in history, his invention made it possible to send money around the world without banks, governments or any other intermediary. The blockchain concept is not very intuitive. But still, many people believe that it is a game changer. The economist and filmmaker Manuel Stagars portrays this exciting technology in interviews with software developers, cryptologists, researchers, businessmen, consultants, venture capitalists, authors, politicians and futurists from the United States, Canada, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Australia.

"The Blockchain and Us" is not an explanatory video of the technology. It provides a view of the subject, makes it accessible and initiates a conversation about its potential wider implications in a non-technical way. The film deliberately raises more questions than it answers.
