If it shows the main character in a badlight, then surely it has to show Bitcoin in a bad light? You can't be talking about one guy and make him the sort of villain but who uses good tools;)

And yeah I know this is hollywood so don't believe 90% of what you see portrayed on the screen. It's all for drama and making money, truth is not really important;)

They may or may not be intentionally putting Bitcoin in the bad light, but from one of the main quotes from the trailer alone: "Amazon, but for drugs" and bitcoin being one of the main currencies of the platform? It's almost guaranteed lol. Not to mention that putting bitcoin/crypto as a hacker/drugs thing is what's going to mostly make people interested I assume. Probably only a minority would be interested in "bitcoin for payments/SoV" in a movie.
