They blocked the payments. They banned the film. They couldn't stop either. This trailer is direct from me to you. No studio. No middlemen. Zap this if you believe some things can't be censored.

Streaming algorithms feed addictions. That's why it's called binge-watching. This film gives you something else — things you need to know to be engaged athletically in the world. Citizens, not consumers. That's why it's premiering here, not on Netflix.

They made us relocate our whole team. They pulled the distribution. They tried to bury this story. But they can't stop what this community is building. Sovereign distribution is a rail no one can cut. June 27. We turn the page together.

My film won Cannes and the first-ever Golden Globe for Documentary. Legacy media still won't touch it. A movie the gatekeepers won't touch is the perfect movie to prove the gatekeepers are no longer necessary. If we win on this one, movie after movie can be done this way. Led by Bitcoiners. Followed and emulated by everyone else who's been waiting for someone to go first. Years from now I think we'll look back at this moment the way we look back at Napster. The way we look back at Woodstock. The moment when the rules suddenly changed. You're not buying a movie ticket. You're proving a model.

𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦: Edward Snowden is joining us in our sovereign release strategy. He will be speaking at 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙞𝙭 𝘽𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝘿𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙧 𝙈𝙖𝙣 Watch Party on June 27. He knows what it costs to tell people the truth, and what happens when the gatekeepers decide a story shouldn't reach you. He understands why this film is premiering on a rail no government can switch off — instead of on a platform that can be pressured to bury it. On 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟮𝟳 he'll be with us at the Bitcoin Producer-Only Watch Party for a deeper conversation on this topic. This is what sovereign distribution looks like: the people the system tried to silence, funding and releasing the work together. Become a Bitcoin Producer. 0.01 BTC. Powered by @primal and Nostr.

A Bitcoiner I've never met donated $500,000 in Bitcoin to charter the plane that flew Julian Assange home to Australia. You can't do that any other way. Not anonymously, not at that speed, not without permission from someone. That's the kind of thing this community already does. Quietly. Without asking. Without a press release. My film about Julian — 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗶𝘅 𝗕𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗻 — is what happens when you do that together, in the open. Watch party June 27, powered by @primal. Check out the link in the comments below.

Two dates to put on the calendar. 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟴 — we kick off the Bitcoin Producer cohort with a live call. The Producers' Roundtable. The people who stepped in early to back this film and help it travel. 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟮𝟳 — 19 days later — we sit down together and watch 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙞𝙭 𝘽𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝘿𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙧 𝙈𝙖𝙣 for the first time as a community. The Bitcoin-Only Watch Party, powered by Primal and Nostr. If you've been waiting, this is the week. Becoming a Bitcoin Producer isn't a ticket purchase. It's how the film gets made, distributed, and seen — without going through anyone. 0.01 BTC. Window closes June 27. Link to join in the comments below.

At Vegas last month, I told people: we're not looking for an audience. We're looking for envoys. People who believe that the right to know things — about our money, about our governments, about our world — is worth defending. If you're one of those people, June 27 is for you. The BITCOIN-ONLY PREMIERE is for purists. Not speculators, not tourists. If you don't like that, or maybe don't want to part with your speculator-coin, it's not for you. But if you understand why Julian Assange matters and why Bitcoin matters alongside him, then you already know why this film exists. Join us. Link in the comments section.

People ask me why I didn't just wait for a distributor. Somebody would have bought it eventually. Maybe. But the waiting IS the censorship. Every month a film about Julian Assange sits on a shelf is another month the public doesn't know what their government did. The delay is the weapon. The bureaucracy is the blade. Bitcoin doesn't wait for permission. Neither does this film anymore. Link in the first comment:

@jack changed the trajectory of this film. He understood before I did that Bitcoin isn't just how you pay for things. It's a way of operating in sovereignty, not just with financial freedom but information freedom. Last month at Bitcoin Vegas we showed what that looks like. And on June 27, we are holding a BITCOIN WORLD PREMIERE, for producers only. The window to become a producer is open. This is how you can get in on our distribution strategy. Sat-gated. No middleman. Sovereign distribution IS the thesis.

CIA Headquarters inscription: "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Julian Assange: “Now the most interesting thing happening is Bitcoin”

"I'm a critic of America because I seek the best here. The Bitcoiners on this movie can lead the way for America — which is then supposed to lead the way for the world. Because America has lost her way." Thank you @ODELL for the conversation on @CITADEL DISPATCH and your support in this experiment.

When I started this film, I basically figured Bitcoin was a pyramid scheme. I'm not embarrassed to say I fell prey to the same kind of curated propaganda that people are also fed about Julian Assange. Then I met the people in this community. @jack, @ODELL and many more. I saw the alignment between Bitcoiners and WikiLeakers: centralized power is abusive power, and the only solution is to go around them. That's what this film is about. And that's why it's premiering here, not on Netflix. But we need you to be part of it. Get in at

Thank you to @ODELL for hosting me on @CITADEL DISPATCH

On Wednesday, I walked onto the Nakamoto Stage with @jack and showed never-before-seen clips from The Six Billion Dollar Man to a room full of Bitcoiners. The film no American distributor would touch — because Julian Assange is still too hot for legacy media to handle. This is the start of a new era of film distribution. No intermediary. No permission. Just the work and the people it was made for. Join the party at
