It aims at digging further into the crypto industry and how it has moved from the Silk Road to supporting billions of dollars in daily trading volume. The series it’s expected to premiere tomorrow, Thursday 10th, 2022.
Joseph Cox, the journalist at Motherboard, summarized the documentary as the story behind the Bitcoin mining industry, the fallout post-China’s ban on this sector, the wealth created with digital assets, and the way sex workers, often impacted by the censorship imposed by the legacy financial system, use BTC.
The documentary will also investigate the early days of the crypto industry as it will use material from the 2013 Bitcoin Conference. As Cox said, BTC’s price was trading at around $118 at that time.
In less than a decade, Bitcoin and the crypto market reached and surpass the $1 trillion milestones in terms of total market cap, but has the industry matured beyond that? The documentary will attempt to respond to this and other questions. Cox added via his Twitter account:
(…) CRYPTOLAND, a series that we think cuts through the hype and knee-jerk reactions about cryptocurrency to show how it’s affecting the world today, and what it might look like tomorrow. Culture, politics, economies, society, the planet, physical infrastructure.
The documentary series will mark yet another milestone on the coverage provided by Motherboard and VICE News on digital assets and their industry. The media outlets have been reporting on the sector, as a separate report added, for a while.
