Ulterior States, an IamSatoshi production, is an argumentative documentary project. The participatory development, production and post ‘guerilla-film-making-methods’, bounced between (non-academic) literature research, video interviews and studio sessions. This investigative process allowed having real-life conversations with some thought leaders within the Bitcoin ecosystem. In an attempt to portray the community behind the message to adopt a network, being a one-man team allowed for easier access to the subjects. The enthusiasm and commitment that saturate through the lens in many parts of the film, expose how the adopters of Bitcoin want to explore, to probe and, to show the world, something important, otherwise overlooked. The film took three years and 125 videos to complete. Through this journey, I got immersed in the decentralised crypto-currency culture and met a bunch of wonderful futuristic-pirates, I would have never met otherwise. It is becoming easier to admit that Ulterior States is an expression of my perceptions, an extract of the years 2012-2015. The collaged story explores code as activism and discovers a melting pot through the neutrality of a decentralised consensus. It looks to the future from different humanist perspectives and argues that crypto-currencies could lead towards; community governed micro-state applications.
Winner of Berlin Independent Film Festival 2018 Micro Budget Feature
Ulterior States was completely self-funded and produced as a final project for London South Bank University [MA - Arts & Humanity - Digital Film].

One of my favorite documentaries on Bitcoin. Worth watching / listening to Andreas M. Antonopoulos talks on youtube too. He's the only person who could describe the inner workings of Bitcoin that I could understand
I can't wait for people to do things with blockchain but it's probably the most hyped technology for the least actual real-world use. The bitcoin paper was all the way back in 2008 so I'm curious when (or if) I'll see the first blockchain technology that will actually catch on outside of small niches.
We don't necessarily want to constrain future tyranny in that way. Voluntarily giving up certain degrees of freedom is the best way to solve tragedy of the commons type problems; we don't want to prevent future "tyrants" from enforcing pollution controls.
