When WikiLeaks was financially blocked in 2011, Bitcoin provided an alternative path. One of the earliest demonstrations of censorship-resistant, permissionless money in action. @EugeneJarecki’s documentary @6BDM_DOC became the first documentary film to receive a Golden Globe… here he discusses the story with @jack at Bitcoin Vegas 2026. It's a story that shares a natural alignment with many Bitcoiners through its themes of freedom of information and financial sovereignty. Bitcoiners… let’s unite to get this film the visibility it deserves.⚡️📽️ @BTCSoCo @tiffany_varty @HarryGBeckwith @cluborange youtu.be/mK6TGIlpMDE?si=yRQ6…

Powerful financial institutions tried to starve WikiLeaks into silence. Bitcoin kept it alive. The two became allies in a shared fight against censorship and financial gatekeeping, creating one of the earliest demonstrations that Bitcoin is "freedom money." Supported by Jack Dorsey, The $6 Billion Man tells the story of Julian Assange and reveals that transparency is what centralized power fears most. This film is a powerful reminder that truth always finds a way to come to light.

Two years ago, the world watched Julian Assange walk out of prison and board a plane to freedom. For many Bitcoiners, truth-seekers, freedom fighters, it wasn't just another headline. It was emotional. It was personal. It forced people to reflect on the cost of telling the truth, the power of information, and what happens when individuals challenge the world's most powerful institutions. In this episode of Hosting Bitcoin, Beau Turner sits down with award-winning filmmaker @EugeneJarecki to discuss The Six Billion Dollar Man (@6BDM_DOC), a groundbreaking documentary exploring the life, persecution, and legacy of Julian Assange. This conversation explores the shared values that connect the Bitcoin community and the pursuit of truth.

Nous avions raté cet intéressant entretien avec le cinéaste @EugeneJarecki mené par @ERaspiengeas pour le site de la @webscam. Primé au festival de Cannes 2025, « The Six Billion Dollar Man » n’est malheureusement toujours pas sorti en salle. Cc @6BDM_DOC lascam.fr/actualites-ressour…

"It is not really Julian Assange that is on trial here, it's us, it's the facts. It is this proposition that telling the truth is a crime." - Edward Snowdon

En s’appuyant sur la communauté #Bitcoin, le fondateur de Twitter Jack #Dorsey aide le nouveau documentaire sur l’affaire #Assange à briser la censure qu’il subit malgré les prix remportés à Cannes en 2025. Aucun grand distributeur ou plateforme VOD ne veut montrer @6BDM_DOC.

🎙️"WikiLeaks using Bitcoin out of necessity was incredible because it found an immediate use case at a global scale," says @jack Dorsey at #Bitcoin 2026. Dorsey noted, one of Satoshi's final messages on Bitcoin Talk "was around the advancements of WikiLeaks using Bitcoin."💬

I saw the preview clips, looks incredible and very important! Thank you for telling this story.

Awesome presentation 👏

Twitter and Cash App founder Jack Dorsey says, “Bitcoin represents routing around the gatekeepers”

It was @jack who made Eugene realize the power of Bitcoin to break down gates. Just like Wikileaks used Bitcoin to route around the financial blockade in 2011, we are leveraging the power of the Bitcoin community to break down media censorship in 2026

Mission led!

Today at Bitcoin Vegas, Eugene took the stage with @jack and dropped never-before-seen footage from The Six Billion Dollar Man. The Julian Assange film major distributors won’t touch. WikiLeaks is still too hot for legacy media. We’re not waiting. thesixbilliondollarman.com

JUST IN: Jack Dorsey is helping launch a new film on #Bitcoin pioneer and freedom fighter Julian Assange 👀 "THEY TRIED TO BLOCK WIKILEAKS' FINANCIAL ACCESS. BUT THEY COULDN'T BLOCK BITCOIN." 🔥
