The Australian publisher and journalist, best known as the editor-in-chief of the whistleblower website WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, recently revealed in a reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA), that he has long supported bitcoin. Assange, who was frequently asked about the digital currency during the AMA session, said that it was he who was responsible for convincing Google’s Eric Schmidt to keep an especially close eye on bitcoin by originally telling the Google Executive: “You should be an early adopter. Because your bitcoins are going to be worth a lot of money one day.”
