As a seasoned crypto investor and ardent advocate for freedom of speech and transparency, this latest initiative by Julian Assange and his supporters has piqued my interest significantly. The use of Bitcoin’s blockchain to immortalize the Afghan War Logs is an innovative approach that underscores the potential of decentralized technologies in preserving historical records and upholding public knowledge.
Julian Assange and his allies are employing Bitcoin‘s blockchain technology to preserve the Afghan War Logs forever. These 76,911 once-classified documents, initially leaked by Chelsea Manning in 2010, shed light on the harsh truths of the Afghan War, revealing details about civilian casualties and contentious interrogation techniques.
Starting December 12, ProjectSpartacus.org will utilize the Ordinals protocol to etch files onto the Bitcoin blockchain. This groundbreaking method takes advantage of the decentralized and unalterable properties of blockchain technology to ensure that records can still be retrieved even when platforms such as WikiLeaks.org or the Internet Archive face compromise.
Gabrielle Shipton, who is both Assange’s sibling and the head of the Assange Advocacy Group, emphasized its significant role in permanently preserving essential data like this.
Project Spartacus entails encoding each document onto individual satoshis (the smallest unit of Bitcoin), a task that Toby Lewis, founder of OrdinalsBot, calls one of the most intricate minting processes yet. Unlike common NFT collections, this project encompasses thousands of files and demands contributions from individuals worldwide.
It’s worth noting that the project isn’t aimed at raising funds for Assange, who is pursuing a presidential pardon. Instead, Bitcoin miners are the ones reaping financial benefits from this initiative. Stella Assange, Julian’s wife, praised the project as a significant milestone in safeguarding freedom of speech and public information.
Project Spartacus underscores the connection between blockchain technology and activism, safeguarding crucial historical documents from being censored or hidden.
