The betrayal of Julian Assange by the Ecuadorian president named Lenin Moreno could pursue several goals at once. The first and obvious – for the reward, the Ecuadorian leader thus contributed to the weakening of public attention to the disgraceful farce of brexit at its most acute stage. But there are several other aspects, including those affecting crypto.

Obviously, the arrest of the founder means a decisive attack on WikiLeaks itself. Assange’s colleagues decided to save their business in the blockchain. It is already known that Bitcoin Cash programmer Chris Troutner uploaded the WikiLeaks archive to the BCH blockchain and the IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) file system, an analogue of WWW. 30 GB declassified files are now available to everyone – as long as BCH exists. Due to the news the price of BCH quickly went up.

To access the current archive of compromising files, you must install IPFS and start the IPFS network node. Additionally, you can connect to the IPFS node on the cloud server and download files. Instructions are also posted on the Bitcoin Cash blockchain. But if the impact on WikiLeaks continues, then there is a risk of undermining this cryptocurrency, including with the dirtiest methods. So investors now have something to think about.

Why was Assange taken right now, after 7 years of his voluntary imprisonment in a small apartment of the Ecuadorian embassy? One of the versions is the continuation of the struggle of a part of the American establishment with President Trump. When the bona fide investigation of Special Prosecutor Muller (Robert Swan Mueller III) was crowned with nothing, the idea arose of using the leak of the creator of the “leak’s site” himself. After the refusal in 2010 of the main payment systems like Visa, MasterCard, PayPal to transfer funds to WikiLeaks, Assange mockingly admitted that he was grateful to “the US government, Senator McCain and Senator Liberman for buying Visa, MasterCard, Paypal, AmEx, Mooneybookers and others. ” This made WikiLeaks turn to Bitcoin. And in 2017, the organization received more than 4,000 BTC, the cost of which exceeded $ 22 M. According to Assange, their profit was 50 K%.

Now, having gotten Assange, the United States will want to get him back for the mockery. And at the same time, and start some kind of another investigation about how Russia financed the election of Trump using Bitcoin. Or at least, with the help of crypto, Russia bypasses the sanctions imposed on it by the United States.

Ecuador does not border with Venezuela. But it is located not far, in the same place, in the north of Latin America. By agreeing with President Lenin Moreno, the United States will continue to strengthen its presence in the sensitive zone around disloyal Venezuela, to which the Russians have already sent their military advisers. By the way, Venezuela is the only country in the world today where the state made an attempt to adapt crypto on a national scale. This, of course, about the oil stablecoin El Petro. The attempt was not quite successful and has not yet been brought to practical results. Just before the first salary payment with crypto to civil servants, the first protests against the current president Maduro happened. But now he is still in power, so the idea of El Petro may be revived.

The arrest of Assange has already caused a protest mood in cryptocommunity.He began to receive donations on his account in bitcoins. But now it is unlikely to help him. In recent months, Assange was excommunicated from the Internet in his Ecuadorian dungeon. And ahead the rebel is most likely being extrajudicially executed in the United States. At first – the prisoning for some humane term, and then – an accident while being in the jail. He himself predicted this development several years ago. But it is possible that this lawlessness can be blocked, at least in part, by global protests and the efforts of costly lawyers. Raising funds through crypto for WikiLeaks is already a familiar activity.

The question is – how will this affect the Bitcoin price?
