The Blockchain and Us

Synopsis

The Wright brothers invented the airplane in 1903, and at the time, it was difficult to imagine that over 500,000 people would be traveling by air at any given moment today. In 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto invented Bitcoin and the blockchain. For the first time in history, this invention made it possible to send money around the globe without the need for banks, governments, or any other intermediaries. Satoshi remains a mysterious figure, much like the Wright brothers, and his work addressed a previously unsolvable problem. The concept of the blockchain is not very intuitive, but many people still believe it to be a game changer.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 11

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
