christopher b May 10, 2026 Ben McKenzie seems like a sincere guy, but he doesn’t understand crypto. There’s a moment in the film in which Susan Lummis distinguishes fraud from crypto, which this film doesn’t do. This film will age like milk. See more Terry R @Trouss 4 days ago This movie shows the truth about crypto. Crypto is nothing more than a ponzi scheme for rich people to use to steal money from the middle class with no repercutions. This movie needed to be made so everyone can see the truth. Ben is 1000% right!!!! This movie is a must see and will save you money if you were thinking about investing. See more Ian F @thismeansguerra 4 days ago Good information useful for a lot of people to get an understanding of what cryptocurrency is very cautionary and is explaining of what’s going on is a little bit redundant at times but mostly fun See more Belle-Aurore L @TheMalteseFalcon 5 days ago It is thoroughly enjoyable, and applaud the independent methods he went to in order to release it. I felt like he took some risks, and got some solid interviews, but that some of it felt a bit light on analysis. I would have liked to see more technical details, versus just the heartbreak following the breakdowns or shortcomings in crypto. There were unanswered questions, and I feel like he could have got there, but when you’re producing something yourself funding can be a barrier. Overall, my household enjoyed it, and felt the experience was cool, even if just supporting self made filmmakers, who used to be beloved actors. See more T W @kawhifi Sep 5, 2026 This documentary is ironically in itself a complete grift/scam. After hearing Ben on a terribly misleading CBC radio interview I had to see if the documentary was just as bad, and it is. It repeatedly bends over backwards to strawman Bitcoin. Its critiques are all ignorant and shallow to anyone actually well-versed in that asset. There are certainly tons of genuine scams within Crypto, but Ben McKenzie shamelessly misleads his viewers by painting everything with a sloppy broad brush. Anyone seeking an unbiased introduction to cryptocurrency should avoid this film like the plague. Do your own research on Bitcoin as a decentralized store of value / digital gold. Look into stable coins as digital money. Ben documents himself at the 2022 Bitcoin convention when its price was at 44k, today we sit at 80k... If Ben buys some today, perhaps in a decade he'll be able to take his profits and revisit Economics school. (Or at least help give his kids a better education than he received.) See more Urs P @booptoot Sep 5, 2026 I was so hyped to see this documentary. Everybody was talking about it, especially that none of the streaming services picked it up. It all felt like a conspiracy, not wanting to start a conversation. But instead of a healthy, reasonable deconstruction of crypto and careful explanation, just HOW and WHY exactly it's a scam (akin to excellent yt video essay by Folding Ideas on NFTs) all we learn is that Ben doesnt trust it, so you shouldnt either. BTW i agree, crypto is a scam and do not invest your money in it - but this documentary doesnt really explain why. Worth noting that this is BENs take on crypto (lots of personal life shots, who cares?) instead of A take on crypto. See more Read all reviews
