Humans constantly adjust our perception. We rely on…

That appears to be changing, but slowly, as the technology enters the mainstream and audiences become more familiar with it. Earlier this month, Netflix announced that it had gone into production on “One Attempt Remaining,” a crypto-themed romantic comedy.It’s perhaps surprising that it’s taken this long for a Hollywood studio to greenlight a mainstream feature film focusing on cryptocurrency. Hitherto, crypto’s on-screen appearances have largely been confined to indie productions, direct-to-video crime…
