If you’re a small business owner who has heard of Bitcoin but, like most people in the world, you still have no idea what the point of it is, you’re in luck! Award winning designer, director, and animator Duncan Elms has produced what Fast Company describes as a “hallucinatory animated video” to explain it. (Or, perhaps, you’re not in luck. You’ll have to decide.) Note: Bitcoin is highly speculative and some of the numbers in the video are out of date.
