Ronny Tome shares insights on the presence of cryptocurrency in the movies.

1. Cryptocurrency
in the Movies

2. Introduction
Thirty years ago, many of the products
that we can’t live without today were
mere ideas or figments of the
imagination. Back then, we had to go to
a bank to deposit a check and wait a
few days for the transaction to go
through. We had limited choices when it
came to shopping (off-line and catalog).
We also had phones that were used for
one function – talking to another
person. In fact, some people’s concept
of “high tech” may only have come from
the movies.

3. In the movies, we saw In the movies, we
saw fantastic devices that would one day
become reality. For example, in Star
Wars, we saw the hologram of Princess
Leia and the time-traveling DeLorean
in Back to the Future.
Fantastic Devices

4. Today, we have hologram tables and projectors and
smartphones that perform a variety of functions
(e.g. share content). We saw new forms of
currency, such as electronic credits in Total Recall.
And now we have cryptocurrency, which almost
resembles the fictional electronic credits.

5. These creations have now become our
reality. It is common place to see them
in today’s movies, and not even
relegated to the science-fiction genre
(e.g. action and adventure).
Cryptocurrency is making itself known in
the movies. There have been many
movies (documentaries) about Bitcoin,
illustrating the impact it (and
cryptocurrency) has made on our
society.

6. There is a new movie to be released this year
called Crypto, starring Kurt Russel and Alexis
Bledel. The movie is about an agent (Russell)
who investigates a web of corruption and
fraud. The movie is a great vehicle to educate
the public about cryptocurrency and how it is
revolutionizing the way we make transactions.
The movie also features a number of
blockchain networks (e.g. Stellar), which will
help the public better understand blockchain,
the technology behind cryptocurrency.

7. Cryptocurrencies
Cryptocurrency has made its mark in last ten due to the various
cryptocurrencies that have been introduced to the public, such
as Ethereum, Litecoin and Ripple. There is also the Ducatus
coin, made by my company Ducatus Global. It can be used in
our affiliate companies, from buying a cup of coffee to a home.
We also have Ducatus Travel where customers who use
Ducatus coins to book their trip will receive a discount.

8. The purpose of cryptocurrency
is to provide financial freedom,
and to have choices in how we
make our purchases. It will
only be a matter of time when
cryptocurrency will become as
common as other currencies
(e.g. American Dollar and
British Pound Sterling) that
appear in movies.
