In READ ALL ABOUT IT, the first edition of Bitcoin Magazine becomes the protagonist.
It doesn’t rest on the desk — it reactivates.
It rises as though it remembers precisely how disruptive it was destined to be.
As it ascends, the film moves through the issue’s defining articles:
“Being Satoshi,” “Bitcoin Under the Worst Possible Conditions,” “Bitcoin Debut at CES,” and the early essays written by a teenage Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Bitcoin Magazine and one of the sharpest minds of the early crypto frontier.
The Bitcoin Magazine drives the narrative.
It opens itself.
It reveals itself.
It carries the viewer through the ideas that seeded a financial counterculture.
Around it, the desk becomes an ecosystem — scratched scalability notes, the white paper marked with urgency, “smart contracts?” scrawled like a quiet revolution.
Yet everything orbits the Bitcoin Magazine; the entire scene returns to it, begins from it.
I wanted the piece to feel like witnessing the Bitcoin Magazine taking its first breath again.
