Dennis Harvey Variety Rather like being stuck in one long meeting with the almost invariably young, white, middle-class male members of a startup: Their zeal isn't all that infectious unless you're already on the team. Oct 5, 2014 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg New York Times Functions as an entertaining portrait of the unshakable optimism that governs what's been called a financial Wild West. Oct 3, 2014 Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times Whether the crypto-currency in this documentary film is viewed as the inevitable future of e-commerce or a speculative bubble destined to burst, "The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin" makes for an enlightening primer. Oct 2, 2014 Full Review Joe Bendel Epoch Times As director and co-writer, Mross provides a lucid explanation of the bitcoin system and an authoritative history of its formative years. Rated: 3.5/5 May 23, 2016 Full Review Dan Schindel Nonfics The cinematic equivalent of the guy everyone desperately tries to avoid talking to at a party for fear of an uncomfortable rant. Rated: 1/5 Oct 6, 2014 Full Review Amanda Nojadera Common Sense Media Informative, engaging look at currency's origins and growth. Rated: 4/5 Oct 3, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Williams Hawkins Someone named Ibon Ide, posing as a financial counsellor, messaged me on LinkedIn. I have been using the platform for a long time, so I was already accustomed to getting bids, so I didn't think it was a huge concern. After hearing his spiel, I made the decision to invest in cryptocurrencies. As it happens, I was interested in Bitcoin but didn't understand how it worked. After a week of lengthy conversations, I gave in and he helped me download trading applications and a virtual wallet to store my cryptocurrency. After that, the Ibon person suggested that I contribute 20,000 and then 50,000. I was unable to recognise that I was being duped since he was so convincing. In summary, Ibon stopped communicating with me and I was unable to withdraw my money and earnings. I spoke with my attorney, who, using his contacts, put me in touch with Wizard James Recovery, a committed organisation that specialises in assisting fraud victims. Ibon is currently in detention, and I got my money back. Since few people are able to follow scammers, I have chosen to share this so that anyone in a similar circumstance can readily obtain aid. You can easily email wizardjamesrecovery (@) usa (.) com Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Susan Rozmanic Hello everyone I want to sincerely thank the amazing and trustworthy Asset Recovery Team at WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY for helping me get back all of the USDT I lost to a fraudulent Binary Trading Company. I truly don't know what would have happened to me if it weren't for the assistance WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY provided. These people are truly incredible, and I'm incredibly amazed by their fantastic service and skill in the recovery process of my funds. It all began when I placed 412k in a binary trading option platform. A few months later, I tried to withdraw some money from my bank, but it didn't go through. I promptly reached out to the platform's customer service by phone and email, but I never heard back. A few days later, I received an email from them asking me to increase my investments in order to reach the point where I could withdraw my money. I declined, and I never heard from them again, which is when I realised I was in serious trouble. I felt terrible that my hard-earned money was gone, and I was truly sad at the time. After several months, I found numerous Google testimonials describing how WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY, whose contact information is WIZARDJAMESRECOVERY AT USA.COM, had assisted numerous victims in getting their money back that had been stolen, defrauded, or tricked out of bitcoin or any other type of digital currency. They offered to assist me in getting my money back when I contacted them, and I gave them the information they requested concerning the business I had invested in. They went on with the recovery process, and the outcome was fantastic—I received all of my lost USDT back in a matter of days. I was ecstatic because I never thought I would receive my money back. All thanks to WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY FIRM Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review roldan I had always been fascinated by the concept of digital money. I first learned about cryptocurrency in 2017, during the peak of the Bitcoin boom. I was intrigued by the idea of decentralized currency and the potential for huge returns on investment. After months of research, I finally decided to take the plunge and invest in Bitcoin. Initially, I was cautious, investing only a small amount of money. However, as the value of my investment grew, so did my confidence. I began to invest larger sums of money, diversifying my portfolio to include other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Litecoin. But as time went on, my caution gave way to greed. I started to invest in risky projects, tempted by promises of astronomical returns. I fell victim to fraudulent investment platforms, losing over 435,000 worth of cryptocurrency. Devastated and feeling foolish, I thought all was lost. But then I stumbled upon DUMBLE DORE WEB EXPERT, a reputable recovery expert specializing in cryptocurrency fraud. They offered a glimmer of hope, promising to help me recover my lost funds. With nothing to lose, I reached out to DUMBLE DORE WEB EXPERT via Email: dumbledorewebexpert(@)usa.com. Their team of experts worked tirelessly to track down the fraudulent platforms and recover my lost funds. After weeks of effort, DUMBLE DORE WEB EXPERT successfully recovered 100% of my lost funds.

I can vouch for her because I have used her when I lost a considerable amount of money in a dubious online investment. To be honest, I was skeptical at first but to my surprise she was able to recover my lost funds within a few weeks. The lady was professional and efficient in her work and what I liked most about her is that she kept updating me on the process of recovering my lost funds. Till today all I do is appreciate her generosity and that is why I decided to give this information to the public of how good she renders her services. Contact her on her mail on LINDAWAYNE @usa.com for great hacking services Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review Read all reviews
