<div dir="ltr">A documentary for the bitcoin-heads on living exclusively on btc. I'm a total hater. My impression is that it's a couple of bourgie SF-y folks with a self-imposed "struggle", but I think it should be interesting nonetheless! Plus, the Internet Archive is incredible. :]<br><br><div><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername">Archive.org announcements for San Francisco Bay Area</b> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:announce-sfbay@archive.org">announce-sfbay@archive.org</a>></span><br>Date: 2015-07-14 9:55 GMT-07:00<br>Subject: [Announce-sfbay] You Are Invited: SF Premiere of "Life on Bitcoin" Film at the Archive<br>To: <a href="mailto:vknoxsironi@gmail.com">vknoxsironi@gmail.com</a><br><br><br><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div><div><p style="text-align:left" align="center"><img alt="https://ia601508.us.archive.org/28/items/dcgdafcc/dcgdafcc.jpeg" height="37" width="247"></p></div></div><p>Join us <b>Wednesday, </b><span><b>July 22nd from 6:30-10:30 p.m</b>.</span> for a the San Francisco Premiere of the documentary film "<b>Life on Bitcoin</b>," at the Internet Archive.<br></p><p>The film covers the experience of newlyweds Austin and Beccy Craig who struggle for 100+ days to live entirely on the upstart currency.</p><p>Austin and Beccy will attend and conduct a Q&A session following the film.</p><p>The couple began the experiment when their credit cards, debit cards and cash were confiscated at the airport upon arrival from their honeymoon.</p><p>“It felt like learning to swim by jumping in the deep end of the pool,” said Austin Craig.</p><p>For the next three months, the Craigs tested Bitcoin (and their marriage) by relying solely on the cryptocurrency for every expense, including gas, rent, groceries, speeding tickets, and insurance.
