The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin (2015)

Director: Nicholas Mross
Run Time: 96 min.
Call Number: HG1710 .R566 2015

“'The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin' explains what bitcoins are in plain English. It begins with Daniel Mross, a programmer in Pittsburgh who builds computers to 'mine' bitcoins, the virtual currency that was introduced in 2009 and, in theory, provides an alternative to the banking system. . . .[An] entertaining portrait of the unshakable optimism that governs what’s been called a financial Wild West."
