If one were to assert control over bitcoin, it would probably start with miners. Hopefully, new developments will make mining more resistant to centralization, rather than less. Unfortunately the Litecoin and dogecoin approach doesn't seem to have worked, as scrypt ASICs have since been developed and deployed. That said, my understanding is that Assange is talking about the decentralized ledger. Of course, if you control the mining, you control the ledger... A decentralized git repo would do the trick. Looks like someone is working on something called gitchain.
