Directed by Mikki Willis, this powerful documentary chronicles the life of Roger Ver, the early Bitcoin investor famously dubbed “Bitcoin Jesus.” Born in the United States, Ver renounced his citizenship after years of what he describes as political persecution for his outspoken libertarian beliefs and promotion of economic freedom through cryptocurrency. The film traces his journey from Silicon Valley entrepreneur to global crypto pioneer and now, to a man facing possible extradition and over a century in prison on tax-related charges he insists are politically motivated.
Through archival footage, personal reflections, and expert commentary, Willis explores how Ver’s story reveals the rise of “lawfare” — the use of legal systems to silence dissent and poses a stark question about freedom, government power, and the future of digital finance.
