7. Bitcoin Gospel
Bitcoin Gospel delves deep into the concept of bitcoin and “how it will revolutionize the economy of the world.” It argues that although we say we have a global economy, there are severe limitations to the system right now. However, with the lawful use of bitcoin as the medium of exchange pretty much every limitation can be overcome. It goes into the details of how bitcoin works and how easy it is to learn how to use this amazing cryptocurrency. The documentary which ranks 7th on our list of best bitcoin documentaries to watch on Netflix, YouTube and Amazon Prime also talks about the negative side of using bitcoin as well. If the vision Bitcoin Gospel shares with us comes to fruition, there will be no need for a bank or any other financial institution to mediate any kind of transaction.
