“$JUSTICE is on #Bitfinex JUSTICE is the token behind @AssangeDAO and has been the key in Julian Assange’s fight for freedom of speech and transparency. We at Bitfinex also commit unreservedly to the cause of individual freedom through technology!”
In practice, Bitfinex emphasized that it has joined the cause of AssangeDAO, initially established to support the release of Julian Assange, promoting freedom of speech worldwide and resistance to censorship.
The JUSTICE token serves as a fundraising tool for these initiatives, allowing supporters to contribute to the cause in a transparent and secure manner.
Not only that, the owners of JUSTICE can participate in governance decisions within the DAO, vote on proposals, and shape the future direction of the organization’s initiatives.
It is precisely a token that has evolved from a symbol of support to an active commitment tool in the cause. In fact, Assange’s need for financial support has now passed, but the principles behind the JUSTICE token continue to resonate as a representation of the fight against censorship.
On this subject, Henry Child, Head of Tokens at Bitfinex commented:
“JUSTICE represents a powerful convergence between activism and decentralized finance, embodying the spirit of freedom and transparency that the world of cryptocurrencies aspires to achieve. We are honored to include JUSTICE on our platform, allowing our users to participate in this significant movement.”
AssangeDAO and the token of freedom of speech and resistance to censorship JUSTICE
As anticipated, the organization AssangeDAO was created with the aim of supporting the release of Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks.
In practice, in 2019, Assange was arrested at the Ecuadorian embassy in London, where he managed to obtain asylum for seven years, avoiding extradition to the USA.
The accusations against him speak of the publication of classified documents, concerning U.S. operations and diplomatic activities, raising questions about freedom of the press and human rights.
The leaked documents of Assange were published on WikiLeaks, a non-profit media organization, funded by donations and partnerships with the media.
During his detention, Assange has faced several legal challenges and declining health, which has worried his supporters worldwide. From here, AssangeDAO was born precisely to support the release of the Australian publisher. In March 2022, the DAO then launched the ERC-20 token JUSTICE as a fundraising tool for the cause.
Julian Assange was released on June 24, 2024. Here is what AssangeDAO writes on the website:
“On June 24, 2024, Julian Assange was released from Belmarsh prison after negotiating with US prosecutors. By funding Julian Assange’s freedom, AssangeDAO achieved the goal of freeing Julian by any means possible! AssangeDAO is currently in the process of revitalization and this website will be updated soon.”
The release of Assange made headlines around the world, but what also caught attention is the anonymous bitcoin donor who covered the cost of $520,000 for the private jet that transported Assange to a safe location.
The pump of +10% in the price of JUSTICE
At the time of writing, JUSTICE is worth 0.0001345, and it is in a pump of +10% in the last 24 hours, right after the news of its listing on Bitfinex.
Obviously, such a price is far from that of June 25, right after the release of Julian Assange, when JUSTICE had reached $0.0004327
It can be said that since its launch, this latest price has been the highest, its ATH.
In general, the market cap of JUSTICE should be 1.26 million dollars.
