By the way, I watched “Bitcoin Theft” after this news, you reminded me of it. I watched it lazily and not very carefully, but in general I will say that this is absolutely not an action movie. Those. maybe there were some action elements in there somewhere, and I missed them in the rewind, but in any case, this is no more of an action movie than some “Baywatch”.
