Wikileak's unexpected 50000% profit from US Government ban

in #bitcoin7 years ago (edited)

Some of you remember back in 2010 after WIkiLeaks exposed some critical files for the USA, its government forced VISA and mastercard to stop payments to WikiLeaks accounts. What they did was they turned to bitcoin. Seven years later, Julian Assange, its founder, publicly thanked the US Government for forcing him to use bitcoin and offering him the chance to get a 50000% return on those early bitcoins. Oh, the irony!
