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.


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

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.

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 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.
