I have been trying to get this video to play for the last 2 hours on Firefox, Chrome, and IE on 2 different computers (a PC and a Mac). I keep getting the "you may need to enable 3rd party cookies" error message. I give up. Looks like I lost 4 dollars. It was my first attempt to ever use Google Play and I will never attempt it again. Back to Itunes. Do not watch this film here.

I've been dabbling with bitcoin recently, and thought I'd gibe this a go to understand how the project started. I was expecting it to be overwhelmingly positive, and to skim over important negative events like MtGox and Silk Road. However, what comes over is a genuine portrayal of the events from the birth of bitcoin to the present day. It's not perfect, and I wouldn't recommend it to those with no interest in cryptocurrencies, but for those with interest in the area it's definitely worth a watch.

Very good introduction to the world of bitcoin! If you don't really understand bitcoin, invest a few minutes of your time to learn about this amazing new technology.
