Old or New, does anyone think this would actually be good for bitcoin?
I don't think Satoshi ever liked Wikileaks taking donations in BTC.

I guess it's like the dark web, bitcoin being involved in anyhing a bit sus always give the government a good reason to throw some more regulations at it.

If anything it does serve as a New Year Reminder that internet privacy is due to people like Snowden keeping vigilance on it
Unless there are some here who believe that there should be no privacy.

I wonder how much snowden has personally in bitcoins? I guess they US will have likely frozen or at least are tracking his bank accounts so bitcoins could help him in that way.

Exactly and I don't think it's true about satsohi not liking wikileaks accepting it, I think he just mentioned it would attract attention from the usg.

At that time, BTC was young and vulnerable and Wikileaks was controversial. Time is different now.
