“Julian Assange,” the founder of WikiLeaks, emphasized in his first public speech after being released from prison at the Council of Europe that his freedom was not due to the system’s functioning but rather because of an acknowledgment of “journalism” and “seeking information from the source.” He referred to WikiLeaks’ connection with Bitcoin, explaining that it started due to a financial blockade imposed by global institutions. While Assange considers Bitcoin an important innovation, he believes blockchain applications are even more significant. He sees Bitcoin’s true innovation as creating a universally verifiable proof system that can prevent historical distortions.
