In July 2013, I invited Daniel Mross, organizer of the Pittsburgh Bitcoin
Users[1] Meetup group, to come to a WPLUG general user meeting and
talk about Bitcoin. An excerpt from the meeting notes:
"Daniel has flown all over the world to meet with movers and shakers in the
community, including the people who run Mt. Gox. He’s in the process of
filming a documentary with his brother called “The Rise and Rise of
Bitcoin.” Check it out at bitcoindoc.com."
I wasn't present at the meeting, but I was later told that Daniel took the
occasion to shoot footage for his documentary right there at the meeting!
Now, a little over a year later, The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin is finally ready to
make its big-screen debut: http://bitcoinboulevard.us/bitcoin-film-premiere-cleveland-heights/[2]
I'm excited to see that Daniel, a Pittsburgh native, has made such
progress in spreading the word about Bitcoin. If you aren't interested in
attending the premiere event Cleveland, I hope you'll at least see it at the
Southside Works Cinema right here in Pittsburgh. It'll be shown from
October 3-9.
As WPLUG's chairman of the board, I'd like to congratulate Daniel on a job
well done.
