Kim Dotcom: "Did you buy Bitcoin and Gold like I said?"

---

Kim Dotcom, the legendary software entrepreneur wanted by the US justice system for the setting up of the illegal downloadsite Megaupload, asked his social media channels whether his fans had followed his advice of two years ago and bought Bitcoin and Gold.

Kim Dotcom stated:

Did you buy Bitcoin and Gold like I said? Congratulations, you have made a lot of money.

At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price has just crossed the $12,000 mark again and gold is now above $2,000.

New Zealand

The privacy activist who now resides in New Zealand has been a known advocate for Bitcoin for years. Back in 2018, he urged his followers to buy Bitcoin and Gold, promising that the stock market might collapse and that the US dollar would become worthless.

Although Kim didn’t foresee the global pandemic known as COVID-19 and the stock market has thus far recovered from it’s March bottom, he was right about the rise of Bitcoin and gold versus their 2018 levels.

He has tried in recent years to launch a cryptocoin of his own.

Julian Assange and Edward Snowden

Kim, who’s been a longtime favorite of the Qanon crowd (the conspiracy theorists on the US chatrooms that think the US is governed by a “Deep State”), is a longtime advocate for the freedom of both Julian Assange (founder of Wikileaks) and Edward Snowden.

In the past week, US President Donald Trump had hinted at a possible pardon for Snowden.

Do you want @realDonaldTrump to pardon Edward Snowden and Julian Assange?

Snowden, the NSA whistleblower, got into the crypto world’s attention this year when he stated on 13 March, known now as cryptos Black Thursday, that Bitcoin looked quite cheap for the first time in a long time.

This is the first time in a while I’ve felt like buying bitcoin. That drop was too much panic and too little reason.

If you would have followed Edward Snowden advice and bought at around the $4,000 level, you would have tripled your money in five months.
