This thriller rattles the story of a group of forum junkies who watch their savings vanish after falling for a crypto project launched by a shady influencer. Driven by fury, they decide to storm the scammer’s mansion—but revenge quickly spirals into something far more dangerous. Loosely based on a true story, Cold Wallet is gritty, unsettling, and absolutely worth your weekend.
This could easily pass for an Adam McKay film—if it weren’t a documentary. But the story is 100% real. Ray Trapani, looking like he walked straight out of The Wolf of Wall Street, launches Centra Tech, raises millions through an ICO, cons investors, lures celebrities… and then? He just laughs at the whole thing. Bitconned is as cynical as it is essential: a sharp portrait of how crypto-fiction was fed by collective greed.
This one’s for fans of corporate thrillers with a whiff of conspiracy. Beau Knapp plays a disillusioned financial analyst who stumbles onto a crypto-based money laundering operation—joined by the ever-elegant (and enigmatic) Kurt Russell. The film doesn’t hold back, nor does it pretend to be subtle. Crypto works better as a stylized cautionary tale than as deep commentary—but it lands its message: not all code is clean.
Told entirely through screenlife, this tech thriller follows a group of teenagers who plot to hack a social media billionaire and steal his crypto fortune. Between smartphone footage, encrypted chats, and panic in real time, LifeHack offers a Gen Z spin on the age-old clash between digital underdogs and market wolves. It might look light on the surface, but its subtext stings: what’s worth more—ethics or opportunity?
The most straightforward pick on this list. This documentary lays out the origin story of Bitcoin with access to key players who shaped its early days—from die-hard libertarians to entrepreneurs who saw crypto as the ultimate weapon against traditional banks. Banking on Bitcoin has aged a bit, and that’s exactly what makes it so compelling: it captures a moment when belief still outweighed cynicism.
