I don't know but I would guess because it is a popular funding platform for funding documentary films of all kinds?

Also, there is a track record of success - another bitcoin documentary was successfully funded last year, see: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bitcoinlife/life-on-bit...

(Co-director of the film here.) Exactly. Kickstarter is the big name in crowdfunding for documentaries, and there have been several Bitcoin-related documentaries funded on the platform to the tune of $75k. It is possible, though it's not easy.

FWIW, we are not making a movie solely for cryptocurrency enthusiasts; we're targeting the mass market. We do assume that many early backers will probably be Bitcoin/Dogecoin/other crypto enthusiasts.
