Just released our short Bitcoin documentary on https://www.SQ1.tv

The Bitcoin Phenomenon

Starring:

- Gavin Andresen
- Trace Mayer
- Erik Voorhees
- Fred Ehrsam of Coinbase
- Jeremy Liew (venture capitalist)
- Peter Vessenes of Bitcoin Foundation/Coinlab
- Bennett Hoffman of Buttercoin
- Angela Keaton of Antiwar.com

The primary storyline looks to show the difference in perspective between the libertarians/early-adopters and VCs/entrepreneurs looking to take Bitcoin mainstream. "There is clash of ideology and ideals" as noted by Jeremy Liew. Erik Voorhees offers a steadfast position. The central question asked is does Bitcoin need to shed its politics in order to pursue mainstream adoption.

We also have full-length interviews with all of the subjects above as bonus footage.
