Documenting the history of the Crypto evolution

The first week of February. The Internet explodes with the Puerto Rico News focusing on Brock Pierce and the so-called Puertopia project: an attempt to build a city running on the cryptocurrency and smart contracts.

The seed is planted and now the community is discussing whether Puerto Rico is just a tax paradise or the new crypto sandbox capable to incubate the crypto startups coming out from the US. Lots of questions remain open and require further investigation.

Navigating between the opinions Kirill Kich and Kich Media buy the tickets to visit the island in March for the Puerto Crypto blockchain conference. We will talk to the governor who will give a speech, sharing the stage with the crypto rock-stars, meet with the local community and ask a lot of questions.

If Puertopia is real, we might be witnessing the beginning of the New World.

Why we do this

Would you go to Palo Alto, the land of strawberry farms to join a group of geeks building computers in a garage in the mid 70s? Would you join the movement when there is barely anyone walking? If so, you’d find yourself in the 1.5%-3% of super early adopters space which dares to dream big and execute their vision. Despite all of the hype following the crypto summer of 2017 we’re still in the super early adaptors stage with the Cryptocurrencies.

The emergence of the Crypto Space and Community supporting it blends the barriers between economy, culture, money, self-expression, political, and social aspects of our life. What some may see as ‘just another tulip mania’ might be the cultural phenomenon defining the course of the history of the 21st Century.

With the cryptocurrency movement expected to hit the mass adoption in 2019 and 2020, we at Kich Media realize our unique opportunity to tell the story of the pivotal moment in the history of Humanity. Puertopia or Sol might be a visionary movement that builds a crypto version of the Silicon Valley (unless it’s one of the biggest scams in the history). Our documentary investigation will be focusing on presenting the thoughts from both sides of the spectrum, to educate the viewers on the most current state of things.

We want the truth!

And if there is one thing that we’re absolutely sure of is that living in the time of fundamental changes when the new world paradigm is pushing out the old one we, the creators, bear responsibility for documenting the history for the new generations to come.

Puertopia is the film we do out of love for innovation. We have a minimum budget available out of our savings and loans we took. We’re not the rich crypto-millionaires, we’re just a couple of young and hungry entrepreneurs trying to leave our mark in the history. Some may call us romantics and dreamers, but we believe in it and ready to go all in this time.

We’re currently looking for volunteers, evangelists and sponsors.

More details in the following posts and announcements. Feel free to comment this post if you'd like to help or reach out directly to me at [email protected]

Some of the questions the documentary will be exploring:

📌 Are we talking about the beginning of the new era?

📌 A deeper understanding of the Puertopia project. Is this for real? If so, what’s the roadmap? Who’s involved and how?

📌 The connection of the EOS tokens to the Puertopia. Brock’s involvement and the possibility for the whole story to be part of the giant Scam scheme.

📌Crypto experts opinion on the situation.

📌 Crypto community response to the idea.

📌 Involvement of the local government.

📌 Local community response to the situation.

📌 The level of involment of the local community into the “colonial plans”

📌 Is this going to help the $72 Billion debt of Puerto Rico and the 45% of unemployment rate?

📌What does the people from the Venus project think about this?

Very well said...

Nice project idea brother, hope you success.. :)

Moving closer to the goal step by step. Thanks for your support!

Good luck on this project. Really looking forward to this. A lot of people are talking about what's happening there, it's great that you will document it and share it with the world.

My goal is to present the argument from various sides. Thanks so much for the support. I'll keep dropping the updates here. Brock Pierce actually noticed me today on Tweeter. I hope to get an interview from him very much. He seems to be the leader of the local crypto movement. Such an amazing time to be alive and document!

Good luck Gentlemen. Great project. I've resteemed it and will follow it. Should be interesting...that's for sure.

Thank you so much for your support! 🙏

I am very interested in this project, and overall the possibility of relocating to Puerto Rico to take advantage of their tax incentives.

If this project does take place I hope that a large % of funds that would have otherwise been taxed will go into helping the people and the infrastructure of Puerto Rico so that it will not be just a bunch of rich white people going to take advantage of the island for its tax benefits and weather but leaving the people in no better position than they are currently in.

Exactly @danpaulson. That's why I'm going to the island to make a film about it. This way I can document the actual situation and save it for the future generations to reference. I'm starting the production on the 8th of May and will be shooting until mid-editing when we will start to work with @mxschwtschnk on the editing and post-production. We are trying to invite the team from http://perfectionist.video/ to help us with the educational animations. I'll keep posting the updates on the project here on Steemit.

Best of luck with the project. Can't wait to see it.

I'm thinking about launching it exclusively on Dtube for the first 24 hrs.
Thanks for the resteem 🙏!

have you posted it to dtube yet?

The documentary is still in the production phase.
Going through my second week on the island.
Current perception changes the direction of the narrative and I will probably be less focused on the vague Crypto Utopia that currently seems to be a pipe dream.
I will be publishing a progress update soon.
