Edward Snowden said he thinks China’s crypto ban has been a boon for bitcoin, Decrypt reported.
Snowden said he thinks bitcoin needed to become “private by design,” per the report. In March 2020, he posted that it was the “first time in a while” he’d felt like buying bitcoin, as a drop at the time was “too much panic and too little reason.”
Quoting the tweet now, he added that bitcoin “is up ~10 since, despite a coordinated global campaign by governments to undermine public understanding of — and support for — cryptocurrency,” the report stated.
