Hong Kong (CNN) -- Edward Snowden, the man behind of one of the biggest leaks in the history of U.S. intelligence, is a former technical assistant for the CIA who is now holed up in a Hong Kong hotel, in danger of running out of money and hoping to find asylum somewhere in the world.

lol, going to jail for protecting Americans. I doubt that is going to pan out well. You know all the people with guns (I am not one of them) are looking for an excuse to use them.

America.... isn't that what they call "land of the free"? The U.S. is more censored, monitored and controlled by secret agencies than countries like Iran, China or North-Korea. Except the puppeteers in the U.S. do a better job, because the majority isn't even aware of it and call themselves "proud to be American". It's a frigging joke Anyway, kudos for mister Edward Snowden for standing up for his moral beliefs, even if it may cost him his life. You're a hero, Edward.

Kazimir, Obviously, you are either not well traveled, or ignore certain on the ground realities. In the USA, you can stand on any street corner and insult the president, the ruling party, the whole system. Try insulting Castro publicly in Havana, or saying anything against the ruling religious elite in Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, or anything against the government in a variety of Gulf State countries. The thing is, in the USA, if you protest against the government, some church or religion or corporations, people just mostly really don't care. You are confusing freedom of speech with the secrecy of government agencies and the actions of individuals to reveal secrets of secret agencies. The US may have all sorts of monitoring, but it is nothing like the police states of the world. You can still say what you want in the US, screw your neighbor's wife, read whatever you want, and no one cares. The proof of this is the incredible high rate of illegal drug use, the freedoms of live theater and artists, and the fact that whether or not you think what Snowden did ws right, there is public discourse here on the issue. America.... isn't that what they call "land of the free"? The U.S. is more censored, monitored and controlled by secret agencies than countries like Iran, China or North-Korea.

Serious. I live in the USA. I have posted all sorts of things on here, on Craigslist, said things to the person sitting on the barstool next to me about politics and never was I afraid that I would be arrested. If you were to do the same thing in several other countries, you would be arrested quickly. If you have money, in the US, you could pay for a billboard saying anything you want. The issue with Snowden is not whether the US has free speech, which it does, but whether he was justified in revealing secret information about the government spying on its own citizens, even if that spying was not the content of phone calls but merely the data of who one calls. Aaron Swartz was more of a hero than is Snowden. http://about.jstor.org/statement-swartzThe thing is, in the USA, if you protest against the government, some church or religion or corporations, people just mostly really don't care.

Joking? Not sure if you are trolling with this question. On the off chance you are not familiar with the US, I am providing a link to a particular protest group that has pushed the limits of protesting and definitely IMHO stepped well past any sense of human decency. Still, I defend their right to be complete and total idiots. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westboro_Baptist_Church

I'd like you to look up the Occupy Wall Street eviction videos and tell me about how free speech is. You'll see me with a nonviolent communication poster in my mouth getting the living shitstomped outta me. I'm on the same page as Snowden as far as putting myself out there. I hope his wallet address goes public and he escapes death.

A thousand or so riot cops showed up to my 'villiage' at 2am and raided like frickin' vikings. Killed puppies, destroyed books, tents, everything I owned and threw lots of folks in jail. Have y'all not seen these videos? Just google ows eviction. By the way, did the Slayer guitarist funeral feat. Teh WBC thing already happen?

Occupy Wall Street was able to protest. Mainstream media mostly ignored them. Occupy Wall Street spent MANY months protesting, not on public land, but in a privately owned park. Yes, eventually, the local city government and owner of the land on which they were camped, got them to move but it took months. The Occupy Wall Street movement fell apart as much due to their own disorganized, needing consensus oragnizatiol structure as due to the City of New York and the owner of that park wanting them to go. But, Occupy Wall Street can still print a newspaper, post on websites, and get interviewed on US TV shows. That proves that they have freedom to publicly share their political opinions. They just cannot continue to camp out on private property. In which other country could a group like Occupy Wall Street continue to camp out for that long and protest? In Cuba? North Korea? France? UK? The fact of the matter is, Occupy Wall Street is a terrible example, but even they were not sure what they were protesting about. Like I said, Occupy Wall Street imploded as much due to their own lack of specific message and lack of organization as due to a local government and a property owner wanting them to go away. In any case, the occupy wallstreet movement is an extension of the Rainbow Gathering, and the Rainbow gathering still has a yearly event where over 20,000 people meet in a National Forrest, smoke cannabis and do whatever they do, and it is permitted. Sorry, but in the USA, you can say whatever you want, but often no one cares and no one will listen. The USA has many problems, but not as many as most other places in the world.

He could have 100,000 bitcoins in his wallet and he will have trouble converting them to anything other than bitcoin because the NSA and every other intelligence agency is on him like fly on shit.
The second he tries to cash out an account at Mt.Gox , CampBX or any exchange for that matter it'll get seized. They would most likely let him sell his bitcoins but not withdraw, so at the end of the day he'll have neither bitcoins or dollars (or Euros, Yen, whatever).
He's going to have to find lawyers that accept bitcoin, food stores that accept bitcoin, etc... because he most likely won't be able to convert it to anything else. Technically doable... but boy he has his work cut out for him.
