The film advocates a just, equitable and peaceful future for the Global Economy Through A More Ethical and Moral Financial System
Sydney, AU — 17 December 2024 — Having built up considerable interest and acclaim in its first five months of release, the US-produced documentary GOD BLESS BITCOIN is gaining currency around the world and its filmmakers are now excited to introduce their film to Australian audiences.
Written, directed and executive produced by husband and wife duo Brian and Kelly Estes, GOD BLESS BITCOIN takes a deep dive into the moral and ethical aspects of bitcoin and the impact that this money can have on the world. The documentary is currently available for free at GodBlessBitcoin.com in eight different languages - English, Arabic, Chinese, French, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish - making it easy to watch and learn the basic moral and ethical aspects of bitcoin, along with seeing the impact that this money can have on the world in these native languages.
GOD BLESS BITCOIN first screened in July 2024 at the Bitcoin Convention in Nashville, Tennessee. The film asks the timely question: How do we fix our broken money? Through in-depth conversations with bitcoin and interfaith religious leaders, the film exposes the broken, unjust, and immoral nature of a fiat-based monetary system, positing the view that existing systems are intimately connected to the military industrial complex and the propagation of war.
The film also shows how and why members of the poor and middle class feel a financial squeeze even when they work hard and lead fiscally responsible lives. GOD BLESS BITCOIN ultimately suggests the ways in which bitcoin can present alternatives to our current system that are more just, equitable, and peaceful.
The film has been a true passion project for the husband and wife filmmakers over the past few years. Brian Estes is the CIO of Off the Chain Capital which manages the #1 performing blockchain fund in the Hedge Fund Research (HFR) Universe from 2016-2021. Brian has been a VC in blockchain for 10 years and has advised, mentored and/or financed 6 blockchain companies that have a combined value of over $50B today. Kelly Estes is founder and President of the Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow Foundation, a non-profit that provides bridge scholarships to private high schools and colleges for high-need, high-achieving students to help break the cycle of poverty through education. Kelly has devoted the last thirty years to education as a teacher and as the Graduate Support Director of an enrichment program that provided programming and advisement in a school district where 95% of the students grew up in generational poverty. Together they made the film God Bless Bitcoin in order to share what they have learned over the past 10 years.
The motivation for making the film was two-part, explains Brian and Kelly Estes: "First, we wanted to explain how the world's financial system works, to show how it wages inflation and discriminates against the middle class and those who live in poverty. So we interviewed experts in politics, finance, and economics to help shed light on our current system.
"Second, we wanted to show how bitcoin is a more ethical form of money that is open to everyone no matter their socioeconomic status, their race, their gender. For this section, we interviewed bitcoin experts and religious leaders to explain how bitcoin is a new money that would allow everyone to use the gifts God gave them to work, support themselves and their families, as well as create value for others."
The film is anchored, co-written and narrated by award-winning TV journalist and investigative reporter, Natalie Brunell, who is a podcast host, educator and media commentator in the bitcoin space.
The cast of renowned experts includes Anthony Pompliano, Cathie D. Wood, Cory Klippsten, Dan Held, David Bailey, Dennis Porter, Dr Darrell Bock, Fr. Robert Sirico, Hailey Lennon, Harris Irfan, Jeff Booth, John Salley, Mark Cuban, Mark Moss, Mark Yusko, Matthew Roszak, Michael Saylor, Natalie Brunell, Nic Carter, Peter Diamandis, Perianne Boring, Preston Pysh, Rabbi Daniel Lapin, Rabbi Michael Caras, Robert Breedlove, Robert Kennedy Jr, Robert Kiyosaki, Sam Callahan, Scott Snibbe, Stephan Livera, Thomas Lee, Tim Draper, Vikram Rangala, and Warren Davidson.
