Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

Funny tweet Immediately questioned myself how is it like to have that much money and not be able to get out and enjoy some of it haha. Although funds are probably not his, personally, and they are used to fund everything Wikileaks related... Anyways, in a more serious tone... Great way to show how to make something negative a really positive thing.

Bitcoin has really rewarded his work

Lmao that is insane. I had no idea there was a banking blockade against Wikileaks. Good on them. It's also a perfect example of why governments are wary of cryptocurrencies. They have no power against it.
It's ridiculous how negative the replies are though. They have so many likes too. It just makes you wonder how strong the anti-Bitcoin sentiment really is. The concern with criminals and terrorists is alive and well, too. It's unfair because there are no statistics available, and for all they know, fiat is more widely used for illegal activities. Bitcoin is much, much more widely used for investments and its growth supports it. If they're condemning Bitcoin for its potential, then they should also condemn fiat for the same reasons.

That tweet reply though. People are still comparing bitcoins to the tulip bulb mania? What the hell? I don't mind criticisms of bitcoin, but this is pure ignorance.

Another positive news about bitcoin. Good one. But at least during those years people still don't have faith on a 3 dollar gold. Does it say how much he invested in during that time of year? Because most of us would have known btc then but also i was not interested on how it is mined and back then their a lot of internet scams andas a person who really is not familiar around the web, i just neglected it.

What a funny tweet from the man himself. LOL. I was not also aware that McCain et all has erected an illegal banking blockcade against Wikileaks. Don't mind the reply though, majority are still ignorant want bitcoin is and what it can do. But I have to agree, this is another great publicity for bitcoin. Look at the replies, seems that there are always two side of the story, but the rest, because of their hatred against Jullian, was blinded and just posted non-sense attacks. And I'm pretty sure that this will really attract media attention for Julian and bitcoin. Which will bring another positive note of our side. Bitcoin has really change the political, economic and financial outlook on a global scale. Let's wait till another high profile political person spread the news, and I'm sure that bitcoin will be pump again.

This is a perfect real world bitcoin use scenario. Not being able to use normal everyday banking facilities is a major restriction but the obvious alternative is bitcoin. This indeed is what authorities hate about crypto, they have no control

Joke's on the US government lol. I don't think he should be taunting them at the moment though. It still seems like Bitcoin is still on shaky ground in the legal aspect.

I'm pretty sure the feds would prevent WikiLeaks from accepting Bitpay donations anyway. I mean, they used bitcoin for donations because it doesn't go through a 3rd party, whereas Bitpay is sort of a 3rd party.

Bitcoin will never fall because there is alot of investment in there, who will like to sell his coin cheaper than he bought, unless in emergency or rare cases ..

I agree that there are still many people who are truly ignorant in terms of bitcoin, even some rich people does not know about bitcoin, and some really give a comment of illegality of bitcoin which is so very bad in view of bitcoin at all. The people who knows about bitcoin never say any thing bad of bitcoin as they know the true power of bitcoin.

This is like some body tweets about if you are thirsty, drinking water would help you. this is not a perfect use case at all, this is just the normal and natural use case for Bitcoin. VISA is not servicing my country for years, now if more than 70 million people in my country start using Bitcoin, it would be a perfect use case.

This is not a use case. This is irony. The US governments actions resulted in unintended consequences. Any organisation, and not just wikileaks, could have invested in bitcoin if it wanted to.
