An unprecedented fusion of rave culture and the digital revolution. In the 80s and 90s, electronic music and raves shook the foundations of society, offering an unprecedented space for freedom and expression. At the same time, an underground movement of cryptographers and hackers, the cypherpunks, worked in the shadows to create a decentralised, censorship-resistant financial system. Elektro Bitcoin explores the deep and unexpected links between these two worlds.
