With a topic as wide and deep as this, the interview phase could go on forever, but my goal is to complete this film by the end of March. Sorry for this tight deadline; some of the conversations I planned to record simply weren’t possible in this short time. I look forward to continuing the discussion with all of you without the camera rolling as well. And of course, there will be future projects of mine about technology, the economy and society.

A cryptocurrency refers to a decentralized payment system that allows people to send currency over the web without the necessity for a trusted third party. These transactions are always cheap and free in most cases. It is considered to be virtual or digital and has its security enhanced through the use of cryptography. This security feature makes the currency difficult to counterfeit. It is not issued by a central authority. It is therefore immune to government manipulation or interference. Nowadays there are many kinds of cryptocurrency, with over 700 different cryptocurrency projects functioning, and counting.

Bitcoin was the first such currency to capture the public imagination and was launched in 2009. Bitcoin’s success brought about the cryptocurrency boom we now see today. Other similar and at times competing currencies such as Litecoin, Ether and Monero, offer different advantages to their users. These projects built upon the principles of cryptocurrency, and morphed into highly sophisticated tools that serve as more than just a means of exchange.

It was the first cryptocurrency to be introduced in the trading market in 2009. Currently, it is the most popular cryptocurrency since it is accepted as a payment in an ever growing number of establishments both on and off line. It is accepted by the NBA’s Sacramento Kings in exchange of merchandise, tickets and food for example. Most vendors and retailers including Amazon accept Bitcoin for many of their transactions. Bitcoin is quite volatile since it was able to rapidly increase in value from about $100 in October 2013 to $1200 in December 2013. Surprisingly, it encountered a sharp decline back to $600 in January 2014. Despite its popularity, not everyone is enthusiastic about it. For instance, the governments have banned Bitcoin transactions within their sovereign territories. It has however become popular in the P2P dominated web and has been used to purchase every item that allows its use. Bitcoin ATM’s are also being installed all over the world, making local currency accessible to all bitcoin holders.
