StartUp trailer:
I finished watching Startup, I think that the series quickly ran away from the cryptocurrency nature. You don't get to see much of the technology itself being used which is quite dissapointing. You see more boobs than QR Codes or it's blockchain.
Then again something died on me when they are at the club saying, yeaah man, we need a Crypto but closed source.... really?? They think E-coin is great?
Stick with Mr Robot.
relative to the actual use of the technology. Maybe it's something that will be balanced out in season 2.@jza, I definitely see what you mean. I couldn't but notice the way the drama was played up
And I did find the referencing of bitcoin in Mr. Robot very interesting, particularly the comparision to the fictional cryptocurrency, E-coin...Seems like an idea of the benefits of blockchain technology, but under centralized control of the legacy banking system...Of course, there are attempts to do this in reality and most likely the results, if viable, will be clunky as hell.
Seems good. Given the topic it should raise interest from people around here. The only Crackle series I watched before was CH:OS:EN and I stopped after the 1st episode of the second season because it was becoming kind of redundant.
with cryptocurrency in the real world...Or maybe we'll find out that the truth is stranger than fiction after all...@heroic15397, I think the drama in the series will be an interesting contrast to what's going on
