Two months later, he becomes "The Dogecoin Millionaire" and a hero to his growing YouTube following. It's easy to get rich online. But as Pro will soon discover, it's even easier to lose it all.

This film really hit home on the mentality behind the crypto and retail investor sentiment. It was a deep take on the risk/reward lifestyle and the trials of being a small investor. The future of finance has a new set of opportunities to be had, but not without risk. This film will take you on the highs and lows of an epic roller coaster without taking you to the bank first.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

I thought it was a really fun movie and a great documentary to watch for someone who doesn't know anything about investing or crypto or anything. I really liked learning about the gambling psychology and how it ties into the emotions for those involved.

You feel the rises and drops of the crypto roller coaster right along side the film’s subjects. It was funny, engaging and I learned quite a bit
