“We believe education is the bedrock of the Bitcoin journey, and the environmental argument made here is a powerful one,” says Cory Klippsten, CEO of Swan Bitcoin. He added, “This film addresses misconceptions about Bitcoin’s energy consumption and demonstrates that Bitcoin mining is actually a net positive for the environment.”
Based on the principle that using energy goes hand in hand with progress, This Machine Greens sees a way forward in producing cleaner energy. Bitcoin, he says, could help achieve this. The film’s exploration of the early history of money also highlights Bitcoin’s role as part of a larger history in the lineage of currencies structured around energy.
This Machine Greens features interviews with experts like Lyn Alden, Senior Economic Advisor for Swan Bitcoin; Meltem Demirors, CSO of Coinshares; Nic Carter, Castle Island Ventures partner; Caitlin Long, CEO of Avanti Financial Group; Alex Gladstein, CSO of the Human Rights Foundation; Samson Mow, CSO of Blockstream; Greg Foss, CFO of Validus Power; and evangelist Hass McCook. Not only do they dispel major misconceptions about bitcoin and bitcoin mining, but they create a compelling argument that bitcoin is a “greening machine”, paving the way for conversations about the future of bitcoin and its positive role in the environment.
This Machine Greens was crowd-funded and the production team was paid almost entirely in Bitcoin – with the particularity that the appreciation in the price of Bitcoin during the production period resulted in a budget surplus in US dollars which will be applied to King and Posner. next feature documentary together, TRUST (trust.film) – a film that will delve deep into the prehistory of Bitcoin and its growing relevance amid a crisis of authority and institutions.
