Bitcoin, WikiLeaks, and a Film the Streamers Wouldn’t Touch: Jack Dorsey and Eugene Jarecki Make Their Case
Bitcoin Magazine
Jack Dorsey and Eugene Jarecki are using the Bitcoin community to independently distribute a documentary about Julian Assange that major streaming services rejected.Summary
Filmmaker Eugene Jarecki and tech entrepreneur Jack Dorsey are collaborating to bypass traditional media gatekeepers for the documentary "The Six Billion Dollar Man," which covers the life and surveillance of Julian Assange. Because major streaming platforms refused to distribute the film, Dorsey proposed utilizing the Bitcoin community to fund and host a global pay-per-view watch party. Dorsey argues that this approach aligns with Bitcoin’s principles of censorship resistance and decentralized power, drawing parallels between Assange’s advocacy for free information and the mission of Bitcoin’s anonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.
