The Second Bitcoin

Six years of conviction. A life on the line.

Official trailer · 1 minute 58 secondsThe question behind the film
The personal stakes

How much of your life
do you put behind an idea?

For six years, Alex has tried to make people see the possibility of a second Bitcoin. His parents want him to move on. A family conversation about what it means becomes a debate about price. In front of a crowd, his conviction becomes a punchline.

Then the questions turn violent.

The film follows the cost of being dismissed, the relief of finding a community, and the harder question underneath it all: what if the idea you built your life around is wrong?

The live, falsifiable test / The Desk

Will a second
Bitcoin emerge?

The hypothesis is specific: when Bitcoin fee pressure constrains settlement, does economically meaningful activity move to Litecoin—and remain after that pressure eases?

The Desk follows the evidence behind that question: the pressure on Bitcoin, the activity on Litecoin, and the competing rails that might explain where settlement goes.

01 / Pressure

Is there a reason to move?

Look for Bitcoin fee pressure and settlement constraints. Without the proposed trigger, a price move alone cannot establish the mechanism.

02 / Persistence

Does meaningful use stay?

The supporting pattern would be economically meaningful activity moving to Litecoin and persisting after the stress, with stronger retention than competing rails.

03 / Counterevidence

What would weaken the case?

Activity returning to baseline. Another rail retaining more of it. Or a rise confined to low-value transactions. Those outcomes would challenge the thesis.

The conclusion stays open. Follow the methods, inspect the sources, and see what would change the answer.
