God Bless Bitcoin (2024) Review
Storyline
God Be Thankful Bitcoin explores the current status of our financial system and poses the question, “How can we fix our broken financial system?” The documentary exposes the shortcomings of the fiat-based monetary system by highlighting its links to the military-industrial complex and the continuation of war, drawing on interviews with proponents of bitcoin and leaders of interfaith organizations. The movie also looks at the financial struggles that middle-class and lower-class people endure in spite of their prudent saving and hard work. In the end, it makes the case that bitcoin provides a more equitable, just, and tranquil substitute for the current system.
Reviews
Critic Review:
The movie has drawn flak for lacking in-depth analysis and technical understanding of cryptocurrency problems. Rather than being a thoroughly researched documentary, some reviews characterize it as a collection of jumbled YouTube videos. The emphasis on promoting bitcoin while downplaying its drawbacks, like its scalability and centralization problems, has made some people think of it more as propaganda than a thorough investigation.
User Review:
A user review bemoans the lack of a thorough analysis of cryptocurrencies in the movie, characterizing it as a collection of incoherent videos. The review suggests that the movie is more of an advertisement for bitcoin than an educational documentary, and it criticizes the movie for ignoring the complexities and issues surrounding the cryptocurrency.
