Premiere of BTCPay Server's documentation
Open-source bitcoin payment processor BTCPay Server will premiere its documentary "My Trust In You Is Broken" at the Bitcoin Film Festival in Warsaw on April 19. Directed by Parker Worthington, the 42-minute film focuses on the emergence of bitcoin as a payment system, highlighting Nicolas Dorier, the founder of BTCPay Server.
The block size wars as a central theme
It focuses on the block size wars of 2017, a crucial time when Dorier was motivated to develop BTCPay Server in response to BitPay's push for a controversial Bitcoin scaling solution called SegWit2x that threatened decentralization.
The growth of BTCPay Server
The documentary chronicles the growth of BTCPay Server from a protest against centralized control to a community-led platform that promotes privacy and direct merchant transactions. Filming began at the Bitcoin 2023 conference in Miami and included interviews and key moments to provide insight into Bitcoin's role as a currency.
Importance of decentralization and community
It highlights the dangers of relying heavily on third parties for transaction verification and celebrates the project's commitment to promoting the decentralized nature of Bitcoin. The documentary's premiere at the Bitcoin Film Fest, details of which can be found on the event's website, also aims to emphasize the importance of community efforts in Bitcoin's ongoing evolution.
