🚀WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange is flying to freedom, thanks to a generous donation of 8.07 BTC (~$500K)! His wife Stella's emergency appeal to raise £520K for a private jet from the UK to Australia was met with an overwhelming response.
The crowdfunding page was initially set up for fiat donations, but quickly adapted to accept Bitcoin. The Bitcoin address received 34 donations, totaling over $500K, with a single donation of 8.07 BTC making up the majority.
Assange's journey to freedom comes at a high price, but the crypto community has shown its support in a big way. 🙌 Remember, WikiLeaks and Bitcoin have a long history together, with WikiLeaks surviving on Bitcoin after being cut off from traditional banking.
