Part 3 of Cryptonites' documentary on Bitcoin's social impact, technology, and economics was released this week.

In the final chapter of Cryptonites' three-part documentary, Andreas Antonopoulos, Levina Osbourne, Joel Dietz, Roger Huang, and many others discuss the social implications of Bitcoin and its disruptive and empowering technology.

This final section of the documentary clarifies what experts mean when they say Bitcoin is creating a new global economy, and more importantly, discusses all of the reasons why one should care, so don't miss it!

Here are some of the film's more intriguing quotes.

Everyone has access to it, and no one controls it.

"The trackability, transparency, and traceability of not only Bitcoin, but of blockchain–it made me think about all the different ways people can use it–to create wealth and financial inclusion." The other important point is that you do not need permission to use blockchain. That, as a premise, as an idea, was so powerful for me. I don't need permission to enter the space, and there are no barriers to entry. The only barrier to entry is me, which I love because as women, how many times do we need to ask permission?" said Lavinia Osbourne, founder of Women in Blockchain Talks.

"There are no gatekeepers–in the sense of hard gatekeepers–no one can stop you from participating, no one can stop you from running a node, no one can stop you from paying someone in Bitcoin, receiving something in Bitcoin, being part of the community, or creating tutorials, and in fact, that behaviour is frequently encouraged." "That is a very powerful concept to me, because one of the most fascinating aspects of decentralisation is what it means when you get rid of the hard gatekeepers–the people who say you can't participate in this political or economic system because of where you were born or arbitrary factor 'x' or arbitrary factor 'y'," Forbes contributor Roger Huang commented.

Technology that has the potential to change the world

"Bitcoin is not merely a minor incremental change; it is also not a payment network." Bitcoin is one of the most fundamental changes to the monetary foundation. Money, what exactly is it? Because when you talk about Bitcoin, that becomes the focal point of the conversation–you realise that the vast majority of people don't know what money is," said Andreas Antonopoulos, a Bitcoin and open blockchain expert.

"When we first got into crypto, we wanted to do it because we thought we could help governance evolve." Some of the primitives and their thinking about governance were deeply embedded, you know, whatever 18th century mentality of what the rule of law looks like. And we've advanced a couple of centuries, so I'm thinking about how we can evolve both our consciousness and the actual structures that we use globally and locally," said MetaMask founder Joel Dietz.
