The Blockchain and Us

True is: The history of the blockchain has just begun, and its final outcome lies in the future. Filmmaker Manuel Stagars documents the global blockchain ecosystem in conversations with blockchain experts, scientists, entrepreneurs, corporate decision makers, politicians, investors, and others.
