About
If you want a layman-friendly look at Bitcoin’s origins and its clash with regulators and banks, you’ll likely enjoy this; Not for you if you only want hands-on “how it works” details or prefer a more balanced documentary approach, like All In: The Fight for Democracy or How to Change the World.
Pros: clear Bitcoin basics; thought-provoking history; engaging interviews | Cons: uneven education; too opinionated; feels promotional
