Is Crypto the new gold?

STREAMZ (2022)

The documentary series Is Crypto the new gold? takes a deep dive into the world of virtual currencies and digital art.

Not a day goes by without hearing about crypto. The past few weeks have been some of the darkest in cryptocurrency history, marked by plummeting prices, hacks, and the collapse of a major crypto exchange. And the turbulence doesn’t seem to end.

Is there still hope for Bitcoin? In today’s era of high inflation, people are searching for a financial escape – could Bitcoin be the answer?

Will crypto make a stronger comeback than ever, or is it simply one big bubble waiting to burst?

Six crypto enthusiasts share their visions, successes, and setbacks with the audience. Despite a bleeding market, they remain firm believers in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. But is investing in virtual currency truly the fast track to wealth? Is it a way of life, or is it a house of cards that could collapse at any moment? How can you spot scams, and how can you protect yourself from fraudulent practices?

The documentary series also takes a closer look at the world of NFTs, which are often linked to cryptocurrency. The NFT market boomed in 2021, attracting Belgian artists like VEXX and Rhymezlikedimez, who successfully carved out a place among the top names in digital art.

Are NFTs more than just expensive digital images? Are they just a hype, or a new way for artists to connect with their fans? And will NFTs soon have everyday applications that we all use?
