🖥️ Dell Boy likes Bitcoin?
Michael Dell, the founder, chairman, and CEO of Dell Technologies has been involved in a series of posts hinting at his interest in Bitcoin.
Michael Dell is the 12th richest man on the planet with a net worth of around $120 billion. He also happens to be in a unique position much like Michael Saylor in that he owns 53% of the $79 billion company’s stock under his or his wife Susan’s name.
Could we be seeing Dell announcing their first Bitcoin purchase soon?
✈️ Assange is free
Julian Assange has landed back home in his native Australia after a plea deal allowed him to walk free from a London prison.
The flight cost him $500,000 (£394,000) with his wife calling for "emergency" donations to cover the "massive debt" for the jet. She said her husband was "not permitted to fly commercial airlines or routes to Saipan and onward to Australia" and any contribution would be "much appreciated"
A Bitcoin donation of $500k was sent to them anonymously. The timestamp on the transaction aligns with Jack Dorsey's post “safe passage through” at exactly 4:03pm.
