Bitcoin: Beyond the Bubble

Released in 2018 and directed by Tim Delmastro, Bitcoin: Beyond the Bubble is a feature-length documentary that demystifies Bitcoin and blockchain technology for a general audience. The film traces the evolution of money from precious metals and fiat currencies to the world’s first fully decentralized digital currency. Through interviews with leading developers, economists, and early adopters, it examines Bitcoin’s core advantages (no intermediaries, censorship resistance, financial inclusion for the unbanked, lower remittance costs, and protection against inflation and corrupt systems) while directly addressing common criticisms around scalability, security, and fraud. The documentary highlights real-world use cases in unstable economies and presents an optimistic vision of a future where individuals control their own money.
