Quote:

"As a currency which deliberately expunges any notion of identity, supporting the transactions of dissidents has always been at the core of bitcoin. Indeed, one of the first high-profile uses of bitcoin was to fund Wikileaks in 2011. At a time where financial infrastructure is increasingly politicized, and individuals risk getting unbanked or “derisked” from banks and payment processors for expressing disfavored political views, Bitcoin is rightfully gaining usage as a censorship-free payments medium."
