@Nackoo2000 proposed the idea to make a movie about bitcoin adoption in Bulgaria.
Over the next months we aligned our vision, started planning and launched a
@Geyser campaign. Over 100 bitcoiners, primarily from Bulgaria, supported the project. 🙏
Others offered us places to stay, showed us around and let me follow them around with a camera. The project was made possible because the community showed up and helped out.
In June, I traveled to Bulgaria with everything needed to make the film in one checked bag and a carry on. For the next month, I toured the country meeting the people building on bitcoin.
The trip went incredibly well. We worked hard and didn’t waste a single opportunity. Excluding day 17 when I got food poisoning-everything, and I mean everything went our way.
We finished the first phase and bulk of the production with 5TB of footage, including ~35 interviews. I returned home, started editing and in October returned a second time to film the BTC Balkans bitcoin conference.
It was awesome to see the Bulgarians one roof, connecting with the other Balkan communities.
I am now deep in the editing process and aiming to release the film in April 2026. It’s been a challenging and rewarding project and I am so glad I got to work with this crazy Bulgarian guy named Ivan to tell this story.
