Julian Assange Thanks US Government, Senators, For Forcing WikiLeaks to invest in Bitcoin.

Sometimes you've a comeback so good you've to attend before the perfect time for you to use it. Apparently, for Julian Assange, that point was when Bitcoin hit ₦2.068 Mln ($5,746.51). The Wikileaks founder posted his point of view on Twitter, after a wonderful week of price boom in the cryptocurrency's value.  The tweet was with a chart of the worthiness of Bitcoin.

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

Wikileaks was forced to buy Bitcoin in 2010 following the release of sensitive government documents linked to wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The bipartisan try to cut Assange of from funding backfired, as he was forced to just accept Bitcoin as opposed to dollars.Talk about a huge boon for Assange--he's up 50,000%.

Bitcoin's foundational principles?

Wikileaks has been on the forefront of revealing government corruption, and Assange has lived as a fugitive in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London since 2012. With all the current antigovernment rhetoric, it's no surprise Assange isn't friendly with pro-government fiat currencies. Wikileaks and its founder represent the type of non-governmental control that Bitcoin is founded upon.
