5. Banking on Bitcoin
The title of this documentary contains the word “bitcoin”. However, the main subject of this documentary is not BTC. Here people can get a clear explanation of what money is. More precisely, how the entire system works. We will say a few words about the movie. The movie says that money is nothing more than an accounting system. Yet, the authors are asking “what if that system tampers”? What if these issues are repeating over and over again? We get a system that is a complete scam! When the system is centralized, it can’t be effective and functional. After they explain that, they start explaining why bitcoin is a good alternative. They represent it as the “honest money” that will stop fraud and corruption.
