everyone is lying to you for money where to watch

The phrase “everyone is lying to you for money” is the title of a recent documentary film about cryptocurrency, directed by actor and author Ben McKenzie and based on his earlier crypto‑skeptic work.

Quick Scoop

This is a 2025 documentary that follows McKenzie as he investigates the hype, scams, and marketing culture around crypto, mixing interviews, on‑the‑ground reporting, and footage of major industry players. It is positioned as a critical look at how ordinary people were sold risky financial products and how those at the top benefited.

Where you can watch it

Because the film is new and still on the festival and limited‑release circuit, it does not yet have one single, permanent, global streaming home listed publicly. Here’s what is currently known from public info:

  • It has screened (or is scheduled) at film festivals such as the New Orleans Film Festival and the Mill Valley Film Festival, often via each festival’s own online platform with a limited viewing window.
  • A recent official trailer notes that it will be “in select theaters” on a specific April date, which means the first wide chance to watch will likely be art‑house cinemas and specialty screenings rather than immediate streaming.
  • Some movie‑tracking and catalog sites have “Where to Watch” sections for the title, but as of now they list it more as an entry in their database than as actively available on a major streaming subscription service.

In practical terms, to watch it you’ll probably need to:

  1. Check your local independent or art‑house theaters and see if it’s in their upcoming schedule (they often host limited documentary runs).
  1. Look at festival platforms (for example, the specific festival pages where it has screened) for any current or future virtual screenings with timed online access.
  1. Keep an eye on official film or distributor pages mentioned in the trailer description, which will usually announce when it lands on a major streaming or rental platform.

Extra context

The film is a follow‑up to McKenzie’s book “Easy Money: Cryptocurrency, Casino Capitalism, and the Golden Age of Fraud,” which took a strongly skeptical stance on crypto and detailed several major collapses and scandals. The documentary uses that foundation to walk viewers through how crypto marketing worked, how regulation lagged, and what this meant for regular investors.

In forum and social media discussions, people often talk about this film as part of a broader trend of post‑2022 “crypto hangover” content, where the boom‑and‑bust of big exchanges and tokens is being re‑examined in documentaries, podcasts, and longform reporting.

If you tell me your country or preferred services (e.g., Netflix, Prime, cinema only), I can narrow down likely options and timing based on what’s publicly listed so far.
