I don't know why I sense that bitcoin will be shown as an evil in this movie! Probably yes! Probably not! I can see only one mention of Bitcoin in the trailer but I really hope it doesn't show bitcoin in negative light. The trailer is already popular with 62k views but the problem is, bitcoin can be shown as an evil money which connected the dots with silk road and its customers.

Not good! Especially at this time when bitcoin has started generating a lot of interest among the corporates!

That is a given, we know that bitcoin is going to be portrayed in a bad light, after all if it was not because of the existence of a decentralized currency that is pseudonymous then Silk Road would have been impossible.

However we must remember that no publicity is bad publicity, if there are people not aware that something like bitcoin exists this is a great and cheap way for those people to discover bitcoin, and whether they want to come to this market because of curiosity or their desire to make money this plays in our favour regardless of how bitcoin is portrayed.

It was let's say, an interesting take on the events which took place from all the documentaries and shows I have watched trying to unravel what had transpired over the course of the silk road and it's undeniable demise on that faithful day in a San Francisco library where the takedown took place.

After watching it I didn't see them slander on bitcoin but kind of half heartedly just said "This is bitcoin and this is what we are going to use as our untraceable payment gateway so to not get caught!"
But it didn't necessarily, atleast to me, try their hardest to make the audience believe bitcoin was and is evil.
They simply put forward it was the process used to get to their final product out to their customers inorder so to fulfill those business transactions.
It could of been another form of payment put in place of the film and the audience wouldn't have batted an eye to it.
