The story of “My Trust In You Is Broken” revolves around the Block Size Wars era in 2017, particularly BitPay's advocacy for SegWit2x, which would have increased Bitcoin's block size limit. Seeing this, Dorier was motivated to create BTCPay Server in defiance of this centralized control, allowing merchants to accept Bitcoin directly on their own, promoting decentralization and independence from intermediaries.
The documentary, lasting 42 minutes, highlights the importance of verifying transactions and the risks associated with blindly trusting third parties. It showcases the journey of BTCPay Server since its inception in 2017, highlighting its evolution into a community platform known for its privacy and autonomy features.
The film, which began production at the Bitcoin 2023 conference in Miami, captures key moments and interviews with BTCPay contributors, providing a comprehensive perspective on the development of Bitcoin as a medium of exchange. “My Trust In You Is Broken” aims to demonstrate the continued evolution of Bitcoin and the importance of community initiatives such as BTCPay Server in shaping its future.
It's a lie, my trust in you is broken, I'm going to make you obsolete
