Join us Wednesday, July 22nd from 6:30-10:30 p.m. for a the San Francisco Premiere of the documentary film "Life on Bitcoin," at the Internet Archive.
The film covers the experience of newlyweds Austin and Beccy Craig who struggle for 100+ days to live entirely on the upstart currency.
Austin and Beccy will attend and conduct a Q&A session following the film.
The couple began the experiment when their credit cards, debit cards and cash were confiscated at the airport upon arrival from their honeymoon.
“It felt like learning to swim by jumping in the deep end of the pool,” said Austin Craig.
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. For every transaction, they had to evangelize the currency to survive. Ultimately their adventure took them on a road trip across the United States and into Europe and Asia.
This film sheds light on the practical strengths and early limitations of bitcoin technology and mixes it with a large dose of entertainment and fun.
All are welcome - the “bitcoin-curious” as well as the long time fan.
