When someone asks you why they should own bitcoin, tell them this:
Bitcoin is the first truly scarce, decentralized money that anyone in the world can own and use. With a fixed supply of 21 million, it’s immune to debasement, unlike fiat currencies that lose value as governments print more. Bitcoin operates on a secure, transparent blockchain, meaning no one—neither governments nor banks—can manipulate or control it.
It’s not just money; it’s a store of value, a hedge against economic instability, and a way to opt out of the traditional financial system. Bitcoin is accessible to anyone, anywhere, 24/7, and it’s permissionless, meaning no one can stop you from using it. It’s the first truly global financial network, offering financial freedom and security in a system built for the digital age. By owning Bitcoin, you’re investing in a future where money is decentralized, transparent, and truly yours.
JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE
Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK.
This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations. This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible.
After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.
WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions. As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people's right to know.
As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom.
Julian's freedom is our freedom.
