BTCPay Server, an open-source bitcoin payment processor, is gearing up to premiere a feature documentary titled “My Trust In You Is Broken” at the Bitcoin Film Fest in Warsaw, Poland, on April 19. Directed by Parker Worthington, the documentary delves into the origins of Bitcoin as a payment system and showcases Nicolas Dorier’s inspiring journey in founding and developing BTCPay Server.
The film focuses on the Block Size Wars era in 2017, particularly BitPay’s push for SegWit2x, which aimed to increase Bitcoin’s block size limit. In response to this centralized control, Dorier was inspired to create BTCPay Server, empowering merchants to accept Bitcoin directly and promoting decentralization and independence from intermediaries.
Spanning 42 minutes, “My Trust In You Is Broken” highlights the importance of verifying transactions and the risks of blindly trusting third parties. It follows BTCPay Server’s evolution from its inception in 2017, emphasizing its commitment to privacy and autonomy features.
The documentary, which began production at the Bitcoin 2023 Conference in Miami, features key moments and interviews with BTCPay contributors, offering a comprehensive look at Bitcoin’s development as a medium of exchange. “My Trust In You Is Broken” aims to underscore the ongoing evolution of Bitcoin and the significance of community-driven initiatives like BTCPay Server in shaping its future.
