Hey Orange Rabbits. Welcome to the 5th Bitcoin epoch!

May 19, 2024

(Probably) The best Bitcoin Halving party in the world!

In case you missed it in person, or if you’re up for a trip down memory lane, here’s a quick recap: BFF24 + European Halving Party!

➜ 11 films, 5 premieres, over 300 guests. For 3 days, Warsaw became the capital of bitcoin and independent cinema. Given a film festival, an awards gala was a must.

🏆 The winners of Golden Rabbits 2024 are:

Best Movie, DIRTY COIN
Best Short, HODL
Best Story, SEARCHING FOR SATOSHI

The Audience Choice, MY TRUST IN YOU IS BROKEN

➜ Community-driven experience, two events in one and some parts of the program co-created by kids. Check some photos on X or selected ones in this open folder.

➜ Memorable laser show, fun games, parties until dawn, and Bitcoiners all over the city. Feel the vibes through some of our posts.

Bitcoin Cinema: Reels to Keep an Eye On

📽️ PERU’S HIDDEN BITCOIN REVOLUTION

Absorbing and insightful. 40-minutes — from the Andes mountains to the depths of the Amazon rainforest. Beautiful scenery and Bitcoin changing the lives of people you wouldn’t expect. Watch it here.

📽️ GOD BLESS BITCOIN

New film that premiere this July. Its story seeks to prove how Bitcoin, as the monetary base layer of the world, will lead to morality, inclusion, safety, peace, freedom, and increased human happiness. More info – here.

📽️ BITCOIN CASTLE

A German-language movie from 2020, available with English subtitles. Due to the lockdowns of that year, it had some issues with promo. An intriguing plot, intelligent and humorous. See for yourself.

🎬 THE LEGEND OF LANDI

The winner of BFF24 Pitch Your Movie Session. A story that began with Seasteading – the 1st floating city, and due to external events, took an unexpected turn. More at Gesyer Fund. Consider sending some SATs, to help Osy finish this film.
