Abstract
Dynamic chronicles of the tumultuous origins of Bitcoin as a payments system and the story behind the BTCPay Server – currently the most widely used self-hosted payment processing stack for Bitcoin, created by Nicolas Dorier in response to BitPay and its actions during the 2017 Blocksize Wars. The film highlights the early days of Bitcoin as a tool for merchants, their issues, and the perils of trusted third parties, as well as Dorier's pivotal role in contributing to the current adoption of Bitcoin payments among businesses.
