Peru's Bitcoin Revolution

Created by Julian Figueroa of Kinetic Finance, Peru’s Bitcoin Revolution explores how Bitcoin is empowering indigenous communities in Peru through MOTIV, a non-profit building Bitcoin-based micro-economies. The film follows a journey through the Andes and Amazon, documenting how Bitcoin is transforming lives.

The project raised over 27M sats (~$10K) from 143 contributors, entirely in Bitcoin — proving that community-funded storytelling can capture and share Bitcoin’s impact globally.
