Spike Lee has examined racial and financial inequality throughout his film career. Now, he’s bringing the same insight to conversations regarding the future of digital currency.

Lee directs and stars in “The Currency of Currency,” a two-minute film promoting digital currency machine operator Coin Cloud. In the film, he declares that “the digital rebellion is here. Old money is out. New money is in.” He points out that traditional American currency is dominated by pictures of white men and that 7 million Americans have no bank account.
