Julian Assange has exposed an apparent attempt by the US intelligence apparatus to undermine funding to WikiLeaks, using institutions he established for the express purpose of protecting potential donors from the authorities.
In a Twitter thread, posted Sunday, Assange alleges "politically induced financial censorship" that violates not only US donors' First Amendment rights but also their right to freedom of association. "US donors are the majority of our donor base," Assange wrote, as he nears the conclusion of what will be his eighth year of exile in the Ecuadorian embassy in London.

If paypal and all the others didn't cut support to wikileaks, which BTW is one of the most shameful things you can conceive according to western values, Assange would not have gotten bitcoins at peanuts compared to the current price (unless it crashed while I was writing this, which is not impossible) and his supporters would not have familiarity with BTC and maybe kept some crypto in their wallets.
So, let us thank censorship, which did not kill and made the enemy stronger. *Slow clap*
