Five years after his first documentary, award-winning producer/director Torsten Hoffmann revisits Bitcoin and sets out to explore the evolution of the blockchain industry and its new promise. Can this technology, designed to operate independent of trust and within a decentralized network, really provide a robust alternative to the Internet as we know it?
"Five years after his controversial documentary 'Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It', filmmaker Torsten Hoffmann returns to talk about Bitcoin and the blockchain. 'Cryptopia: Bitcoin, Blockchains and the Future of the Internet' is the kind of documentary that puts its interviewees "on check" and paints a more complete and less idealized picture of the world of cryptocurrencies. For those looking for an comprehensive introduction to the subject, this documentary and its predecessor are great recommendations."
