Trust No One: The Hunt for the Crypto King (A Netflix Documentary) Review

On March 30, 2022, Netflix released an original documentary that talks about the stories of crypto investors in a Crypto Exchange called QuadrigaCx founded by Gerald "Gerry" Cotten. Here's the official trailer.

The investors investigated the death of Gerry because they cannot believe and some of them experience a huge loss, depression, madness and whatsoever and at the time that they found out that it was a Ponzi scheme, a lot of theories and rumors spread through the internet especially in the world of crypto after the founder of QuadrigaCx died. There's some speculation that Gerry fake his own death, that his wife killed him and there's more but I don't want to tell the whole documentary because I highly suggest watching this Netflix Documentary because I have goosebumps on every story shared and that includes the story of one of them who gambled his life savings but it happened to be a Ponzi Scheme of Gerald. That was sad but that happens when you invest in something that you are not so sure about. We must not forget to invest only what we can afford to lose.

Imagine this guy, Gerry, was an early cryptocurrency evangelist, many of the people who knew Gerry referred to him as a "nice Canadian Guy" and a person who believed in the power of cryptocurrency in general, and that digital money can transform technology for finance. We will never know what his real agenda was in the first place, we cannot really trust people that easily but sometimes, people like us who want to follow the trend, knowing that friend of yours is earning lots of money in trading crypto so you came in and do the same thing without a piece of proper knowledge how does it work really. We are blindfolded by money, when you invest they guarantee you high returns and ended up losing the investment.

Not your keys, not your coins.

The thing about our transactions that involved crypto, mostly it is done in a decentralized way and they cannot really know who you are unless you share your address with them and they can see your transaction history in a blockchain explorer. But still, you can create fake emails and different addresses and the thing that you entrusted your money in any exchanges, there are so many possible risks already, some decentralized exchanges can simply rug the project, and Centralized exchanges can track your personal information plus you don't own the keys on your money, there's a third party involved that's why many of the crypto investors want a non-custodial wallet so they can have the full access on their wallet and no one can open it other than yourself. You're the one who has control of it. You lost your key, then you lose your money. Do you have a third party? there's a possible rug in the future.

Trust No One

This Documentary wants us to be enlightened. The lesson that we can get here and so much advice on how to secure our money and do not fully trust someone when the money is literally involved. In an article that I read, entrusting your money into an exchange is like leaving your money on a counter at the bank but in a digital way. Would you leave your money there saying "I'll just gonna put my money here and I'll be back later" ? That doesn't make sense, right?

The money is already gone but the truth behind this crime remains active, the hunters of truth together with the professionals, crypto investors, and some reporters became the online investigators. They want to know the truth despite the fact that their money was gone but to be satisfied with the truth that they really wanna know.

What do you think, Did Gerry fake his own death and run away? or Gerry was killed by someone else, or did Gerry just die because of his illness? What are your thoughts?
