WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange returned to Australia after a legal battle with the US. His flight was financed by an anonymous Bitcoin donor, sparking speculation about their identity. Stella Assange, Julian's wife, launched a fundraiser to cover the $520,000 cost, and within hours, 8 Bitcoins were transferred, reaching 81% of the goal. The Bitcoin community is buzzing, with some speculating it was Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey due to his tweet wishing Assange "safe passage" matching the Bitcoin transfer timestamp. Others believe it could be controversial influencer Andrew Tate, whose gift box emoji on Twitter fueled rumors. Both Dorsey and Tate are known for their Bitcoin advocacy. Dorsey predicted Bitcoin's price to hit $1 million by 2030. While the mystery remains unsolved, the incident highlights the growing influence of Bitcoin in funding real-world events.
