Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Thanks US Government for Bitcoin
Sometimes you have a return so good you have to wait until the perfect time to use it. Apparently, for Julian Assange, this time seems to have come when Bitcoin rises above $5,700. After a stunning week in the value of cryptocurrencies, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange thanked the US Government for Bitcoin on his Twitter account.
My deepest thanks to the US government, Senator McCain and Senator Lieberman for pushing Visa, MasterCard, Payal, AmEx, Mooneybookers, et al, into erecting an illegal banking blockade against @WikiLeaks starting in 2010. It caused us to invest in Bitcoin — with > 50000% return. pic.twitter.com/9i8D69yxLC

The bipartisan attempt to cut Assange out of funding had to accept Bitcoin instead of dollars. Bitcoin savings rose 50,000%, a boon for Assange. Thanks to the US Government for the fact that Wikileaks started accepting donations in Bitcoin instead of dollars because of necessity.
