 Guys, I’m serious. Wonka is a Bitcoin movie.

- Orange men are good guys 
- The bad guys keep their financial crimes in a “Green Ledger”
- The currency is “sovereigns”
- The protagonist is a brilliant industrialist who fights a cartel
- The cartel creates fake regulations by bribing the police state
- The cartel uses the church to cover up their crimes
- The main characters motivation is based on escaping debt slavery
- People who offer “strings attached” aid to the needy are seen as immoral
- Stealing is seen as wrong under any circumstances, and the main character believes in value for value
- Chocolate is a metaphor for any valuable good (or even money itself)
- The driving force which keeps the protagonist going is an unwavering belief that he can create the reality of his dreams
