The Rise And Rise of Bitcoin - First Impressions
Last night I watched and enjoyed The Rise And Rise of Bitcoin. I recommend the film to everyone, to Bitcoin experts and enthusiasts as a useful historical recap and motivation booster, and to newcomers as a good first introduction (newcomers should also read the book "Bitcoin and the Future of Money"). I watched the film with my wife, who isn't into Bitcoin and technology. She found it informative, entertaining and understandable, and gave it a 4 out of 5. I think she gets Bitcoin now. The film is narrated from the point of view of the filmmaker and Bitcoin enthusiast Daniel Mross, and....

Out of the top ten cryptos (measured in market cap), Quark is up the most in the last 24 hours with a 73% rise in value, Dogecoin the second most at 58%, followed by Peercoin at 39%. Almost all of the top 11 cryptocurrencies have been on the rise in the past 24 hours. What's causing the sudden spike? There are numerous theories as to why cryptos are on the rise.

As someone who spends one to two hours every day reading about Bitcoin, I assumed that the newly released documentary "The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin" wouldn't have much to offer me.

I immediately bought 5 Bitcoin during the credits."A film that stirs almost $2,000 worth of emotion in the soul of a crypto....

Produced by Gravitas Ventures, the movie takes you on an adventure with Daniel, and we meet several other people such as Charlie Shrem, the CEO of Bitinstant.

Gox, such as that Mt.Gox used to be a Magicka....
