⚖️ Bitcoin vs Wikileaks: When Satoshi Said No
In 2010, whistleblowing site WikiLeaks came under financial blockade — Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal cut off donations after U.S. government pressure. In response, WikiLeaks turned to Bitcoin for support.
🧠 At the time, Bitcoin was still a niche, experimental technology. When WikiLeaks announced plans to accept BTC, the anonymous Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto posted on the forum:
"It would have been nice to get this attention in any other context. WikiLeaks has kicked the hornet’s nest..."
💨 Just days later, Satoshi disappeared, never to be heard from again.
💥 This moment is seen as the first major political test for Bitcoin — and may have contributed to Satoshi’s permanent exit. It also marked the beginning of BTC’s use as censorship-resistant money.

Julian Assange, the co-founder of WikiLeaks, has received a massive Bitcoin donation from an anonymous "whale" to cover the cost of his freedom flight from the UK to Australia.

The donation, which consisted of BTC, enabled Assange to pay for a private jet that flew him to Canberra after he reached a plea agreement in a Saipan court, ending his legal battle.

Assange stated that he believed the charges against him under the Espionage Act violated his First Amendment rights, though he admitted that pressuring sources to reveal classified material for publication may have been illegal. As part of the plea deal, Assange must delete the material he provided to WikiLeaks.
