Many people feel the same “I really need to learn about this bitcoin thing” but then, they never start.
There are many reasons why people never even start; no time, no money to invest, too overwhelming, or even psychological barriers.
And yet deep down they know that they’re missing out on something important.
Bitcoin movies fix this problem and can break the cycle of lethargy. Stop procrastinating; just press “play”.
Bitcoin films are a fantastic way to learn about Bitcoin in a laid-back, casual way. They only require a time commitment of about an hour (or less) and are entertaining to watch.
You don’t feel like you have to study something boring or overwhelming; instead, you’re being inspired and learn with ease.
But how do you know if a movie is full of bias and propaganda, or kept objective and truthful? To be honest, you never fully know because film is a rather sublime medium. See, bitcoin films are made to get you started, not to replace books and hands-on training.
As we say in Bitcoin, “Don’t trust, verify.” It’s up to you to check if the statements made in Bitcoin movies are correct. Do the images depict reality, or is it all bananas. Go do your own research with an open mind. Join a local Bitcoin meetup, learn from practicing, experiment with Bitcoin mining, make transactions, go down the rabbit hole.
So what are you waiting for? Here is a list of some of the best bitcoin-only shorts, movies and documentaries ever made.

Human B | The Insight Journey Into The Bitcoin Rabbit Hole
Directed by Aaron Mucke • 2021 • 1h 13m
Human B explores Bitcoin as a human-driven response to systemic failures in modern money, institutions, and trust. Rather than focusing on price or speculation, the documentary frames Bitcoin as a social and technological movement rooted in individual sovereignty, time preference, and ethical responsibility.
Through personal stories, philosophical reflections, and economic context, it examines how fiat monetary systems incentivize debt, centralization, and short-term thinking, while Bitcoin introduces a neutral, borderless, and censorship-resistant alternative. The film positions Bitcoin as a tool for human coordination—one that restores agency to individuals, redefines value across time, and challenges entrenched power structures.
Ultimately, Human B shows that Bitcoin is not just a financial innovation, but a catalyst for cultural and moral change in how humans relate to money, energy, and each other.
