Part of the blurb for the programme says that: Panorama investigates what Bitcoin is and what it means, going inside a Bitcoin mine in Iceland – where currency is made – and spending time with the Bitcoin millionaires of Silicon Valley. The programme also hears from others who have been scammed out of their life savings and investors who think the cryptocurrency is an enormous scam and that the writing is on the wall.
