๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Assange Thanks the US Government On October 14, 2017, Julian Assange published a tweet in which he thanked the US government for pushing him to buy bitcoin. "I want to express my deepest gratitude to the US government, Senator McCain, and Senator Lieberman for pushing Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, AmEx, Moneybookers, etc., to impose an unlawful banking blockade against WikiLeaks, which began in 2010. This forced us to invest in Bitcoin and gain a profit of over 50,000%." image
