Crypto Saved Julian Assange, His Brother Says

[Yamane_Keto]

I don't know how much of his statement is true. But i remember Wikileaks was one of few which accept Bitcoin in the early days, which criticized by Satoshi for attracting too much attention. Your opinion is greatly appreciated.

Do you have details about what happened between Satoshi and Julian Assange and not accepting Bitcoin on Wiki? It is a strange behavior on the part of Satoshi.

Here are related posts written by Satoshi,

I don't remember Satoshi ever talked directly with Julian though. But CMIIW.

Satoshi would not prefer to be against the government, if this were true he would probably accept KYC and avoid mixers.
He wrote this and disappeared hours later.

It would have been nice to get this attention in any other context.  WikiLeaks has kicked the hornet's nest, and the swarm is headed towards us.

Did Julian Assan talk about Satoshi or Bitcoin during 2010?

Another situation where bitcoin help someone or even save a life.

Bitcoin obviously played a factor in this, considering that Wikileaks was one of the first to accept donations in bitcoins back in the day, but in this article his (half-)brother is talking about AssangeDAO, not Bitcoin.

Although it should not be implied that there weren't more people donating to Assange's legal defense over the years, because indeed, many people did play their parts.

Satoshi had a reason for it. As you know, the government has tried every possible way to stop Bitcoin, but it is already too late. It's not possible to shut down thousands of nodes today. But if the government tried to stop Bitcoin in the early days, they probably had a chance to shut it down somehow. I guess Satoshi had this fear in the early days, which he expressed last time.

But mystically, Satoshi disappeared. After I had read those stories about Wikileaks and Julian Assange, I started to think, what if Julian Assange were Satoshi? But I don't think he is.

Talk? Wikileaks decide to accept Bitcoin back, where Julian Assange is the one who founded Wikileaks and operate it along with other people.

I doubt it. Creating Bitcoin and founded Wikileaks doesn't sound like what one people can do.

I doubt it as well. But you know, people tried to match every other information with each other to detect Satoshi. But they never ended up matching up. At first, theymos decided to share Satoshi's IP address that he uses but later he decided to keep it secret and he said he would share it after a decade. I believe it's been over a decade but theymos did not disclose Satoshi's IP address. I believe if theymos share his IP addresses, a lot of debated will end but once again, new debates will start. Julian has some connection with Satoshi and I guess they have exchanged several emails (If I am not wrong). So, yeah, I also think Juian is not Satoshi.
