HEX Fans Say, “The Only Thing Better than Sleeping with Richard Heart is Seeing this Movie about Him”

“The only thing better than sleeping with Richard Heart is seeing this movie about him,” or so two of the presumed billionaire’s fans recently told me when I asked what they thought of the epic new documentary The Highest of Stakes.

While it’s no secret that the outrageous crypto mogul has many admirers who would love to have his allegedly Red-Bull-can-sized penis inside of them, I was shocked to hear them say that seeing this movie was even better than fulfilling their wildest fantasies. Yet, that’s what both Sequoia Stone and Hexlena PulseAlot told me after viewing the film last weekend. 

More precisely, Sequoia Stone (sociocultural anthropologist and one of many Richard Heart admirers) said, “If I had to choose either go on a date with Richard or see The Highest of Stakes with my loved ones, I would choose the latter because the movie made me feel closer to Richard than ever before. You’ll get more out of watching this 90 minutes of film than a single experience could allow.” 

So what did they love about it? 

The women each offered similar praise, which revolved around a lesson in financial literacy, the filmmakers’ focus on community, and the ability to get an inside look into Heart’s character. 

What is money? 

“I absolutely adored when the movie cut between the finance professor [Lamont Black] and RH when they talked about ‘what is money?’. RH replied, saying that all money is backed by nothing but the shared fiction of everyone who participates in the system,” Hexlena remarked. 

Sequoia agreed and added, “Lamont’s description of ‘cryptocurrency’ to [Kelly Richmond Pope] as a first-day student was absolutely perfect. The way he likened creating a cryptocurrency to the federal reserve’s power to print money was… compelling 😉.” 

Indeed, this lesson in financial literacy is among the most critical elements because it appeals not only to crypto and finance nerds but also to regular people who are just starting to question how and why our financial system works. 

Community Focus

“I appreciated the film for its inclusion of all aspects of the Richard Heart ecosystem, not just the man himself. It openly depicts the large community of supporters, skeptics, and more. I’m glad I was able to directly contribute to the film as well. I knew it would be an essential must-watch when I left my interview. The Highest of Stakes shares a story that the world deserves to know,” said Sequoia.

Hexlena added, “I treasured how the filmmakers’ ensured Richard wasn’t the primary focus of the movie because hearing the stories of Hexicans and regular people who Richard positively impacted was so powerful. It brought tears to my eyes and made my heart flutter with hopefulness,” said Hexlena. 

An Intimate Experience

Together, the ladies expressed that they enjoyed The Highest of Stakes because it allowed them to get closer to their beloved “visionary genius founder, lolz” than either of them had been before. 

Hexlena explained, “You don’t know a man until you meet his friends, but in The Highest of Stakes, you get to meet Richard’s friends, who are like his family. The quirky, good-hearted, wide-eyed optimists called Hexicans show you, you’ve got a keeper, lolz.” 

“The Highest of Stakes is an intimate experience that allows viewers to bite deeper into Richard’s life. It feels like the closest anyone has come to Richard Heart without being in a direct relationship with him,” Sequoia said. 

And now I understand why Hexlena and Sequoia said that watching this film is better than sleeping with their idol: The movie enables a perceived emotional connection that transcends sex. Ultimately, for these women, it’s about intimacy over physicality.

But while Sequoia and Hexlena interpreted the film’s depiction of Richard positively, not everyone who sees it will. 

Perception, Perception, Perception

As The Highest of Stakes co-director, Patrick Moreau told NosisNews weeks ago, “Whatever bias one brings to the theater will shape their experience of this story.” 

Having seen the documentary more than once, I can attest that it is not a puff piece. The film takes a critical look into the life of Richard Schueler, the development of his products, the cult-like nature of his community, and the impact of HEX’s 99% price plunge from the token’s all-time high. Critics and cultists alike can bask in the victory that is The Highest of Stakes.

Fine! Where can I see it? 

The Highest of Stakes sold out its initial theatrical debut and reached number 19 in domestic box office sales during its limited release at Regal Cinemas in the United States. Regal and their parent company Cineworld have added US, England, and Ireland screenings to accommodate the film’s overwhelming demand.
