Summary

Welcome back to the show! We’re sitting down with film maker and documentarian Alana Mediavilla to discuss her new film “Dirty Coin,”  which premiered on the Bitcoin Halving this year and will go to market in late 2024! In this sit-down interview at Bitcoin Nashville, we discuss film work in Bitcoin, various locations filmed and the stories behind them and how Bitcoin mining is the “hands and feet” of Bitcoin compared to the ‘Number Go Up’ strategy most people consider. If you enjoyed the show, keep an eye out for Dirty Coin at a theater near you and follow the social accounts at @DirtyCoinDoc and @AlanaMediavilla!
