Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or already a believer, this event is for anyone who wants to understand Bitcoin beyond the headlines.
Synopsis
God Bless Bitcoin asks the timely question: How do we fix our broken money? Through in-depth conversations with bitcoin and interfaith religious leaders, the film highlights the broken nature of our current fiat-based monetary system. It also shows how and why members of the lower and middle class feel a financial squeeze even when they work hard and lead fiscally responsible lives. God Bless Bitcoin ultimately suggests how Bitcoin can present alternatives to our current system that are more just, equitable, and peaceful.
