CALABASAS, Calif., Sept. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- This Machine Greens, presented by Swan Bitcoin, is a documentary that explores Bitcoin's complex and nuanced relationship with energy. The film is directed by award-winning British filmmaker Jamie King and produced by Enrique Posner. The film will premiere on Swan's YouTube channel at 9:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday, September 14th, and from then on will be available at thismachinegreens.com.

"We believe that education is the foundation of the Bitcoin journey, and the environmental argument made here is powerful," says Cory Klippsten, CEO at Swan Bitcoin. He added, "This film addresses misperceptions about Bitcoin's energy usage and makes the case that Bitcoin mining is actually a net positive for the environment."

We believe that education is the foundation of the Bitcoin journey, and the environmental argument made here is powerful. This film addresses misperceptions about Bitcoin’s energy usage.

Starting from the premise that energy use goes hand in hand with progress, This Machine Greens sees a way forward in the production of more clean energy. Bitcoin, it argues, could help make that happen. The film's exploration of the early history of money also highlights Bitcoin's role as part of a bigger story in the lineage of currencies structured around energy.

This Machine Greens features interviews with experts like Lyn Alden, Lead Economic Advisor for Swan Bitcoin; Meltem Demirors, CSO of Coinshares; Nic Carter, Partner of Castle Island Ventures; Caitlin Long, CEO of Avanti Financial Group; Alex Gladstein, CSO of Human Rights Foundation; Samson Mow, CSO of Blockstream; Greg Foss, CFO of Validus Power; and evangelist Hass McCook. They not only dispel key misconceptions about Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining, but create a compelling case that Bitcoin is a 'greening machine', setting the stage for conversations around 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 peculiarity that Bitcoin's price appreciation during the period of production resulted in a budget surplus in US dollar terms that will be applied towards King and Posner´s next documentary feature together, TRUST (trust.film)-- a film that will delve deep into Bitcoin's pre-history and its increasing relevance amidst a crisis of authority and institutions.
