The Bitcoin World Premiere is done. To every Bitcoin Producer who put their name behind this film when the rest of the industry wouldn't — thank you. You didn't buy a ticket. You backed a thesis. And a real thank you to @Edward Snowden and @jack for joining the post-film discussion. Having the two of you in the room, talking openly about what this story means for our collective freedom is precisely the kind of conversation this film is meant to start. This isn't the finish line. It's the beginning. The Bitcoin Producers will convene in another roundtable shortly to put in place the best next steps for a wider release — how we carry this from our community to the world. More soon. Thank you for being early.

Today is the day. June 27, 4 PM ET — The Six Billion Dollar Man premieres Bitcoin-only. No streamers. No gatekeepers. No permission asked. Edward Snowden will be there. @jack will be there. And everyone who has taken a leap of faith to pioneer a new way of releasing media and telling the truth. Watch Party powered by Primal and Nostr. Come in now 👉

Filming Edward Snowden was one of the more significant moments in my career. Few people understand the cost of telling the truth like he does. Now he's part of our sovereign release. On June 27, he'll be speaking at our Bitcoin Producer Watch Party — as we put this film out on a rail no government can switch off. Become a Bitcoin Producer. 0.01 BTC. Powered by Primal and Nostr.

The film won Cannes. Won the first-ever Golden Globe for Documentary. Then — silence. Not one streamer. Not one American distributor. Their last move was to refuse the film. Ours is to skip distribution entirely — straight to you, on a rail no one can pull. That's the thesis. June 27.

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.

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:

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

Hey Nostr I’m Eugene Jarecki. I’ve spent three decades making films about things the system doesn’t want you to know. The drug war. The military-industrial complex. This year I finished a film about Julian Assange called “The Six Billion Dollar Man”. It won Cannes and a Golden Globe. But legacy media / streamers won’t touch it. So together with @jack I am cutting out the gatekeepers and paving a new way forward. I’ve been told Nostr is the place for freedom lovers. Happy to be here. thesixbilliondollarman.com
