OMG! Wikileaks Founder, Julian Assange reports a 50,000% gain on his Bitcoin Investment. Thanks the US govt.
"My deepest thanks to the US government, Senator McCain and Senator Lieberman for pushing Visa, MasterCard, Paypal, AmEx, Moneybookers, et al, into erecting an illegal banking blockade against @WikiLeaks starting in 2010. It caused us to invest in Bitcoin -- with > 50000% return."
These are good times for the Wikileaks founder Julian Assange who tweeted a very joyful news of his huge gains in an investment he was forced into by the US government.
He published the tweet alongside a screenshot of bitcoin price chart, with the chart spanning the period from July 2001 to October 14, 2017 from Coindesk.
This was the period when the price of Bitcoin was $0.06 and as since risen to an ATH of $5,800. Giving a total percentage increase of more than 9 million points.
