Unearthing Found Footage From One of the First Bitcoin Conferences
em1ly writes: Motherboard found old footage from one of the first major Bitcoin conferences: Bitcoin 2013 in San Jose. They filmed at the conference -- where Bitcoin cost $118 at the time -- and in the basement of the organizer and founder of BitInstant, Charlie Shrem [who would later get arrested and go to jail because his company was found to be laundering money for users on the Silk Road drug market]. The footage is a part of a documentary series Motherboard is airing on YouTube called CRYPTOLAND, about the "environmental, political, and cultural implications of the crypto gold rush." "[W]e shot this footage and then it never turned into a documentary," writes Motherboard's Jason Koebler. "People who worked on it left the company or moved on to other projects, we got busy, the footage went onto a server somewhere. Years passed. The legend of the lost Bitcoin tapes began."Read more of this story at Slashdot.
