Edward Snowden made his prediction about the future of bitcoin

Editor’s note: not financial advice!

Edward Snowden, an American programmer and notorious former NSA and CIA employee, shared his thoughts on the future of the flagship cryptocurrency. Snowden is convinced that the crypto-winter is over, and therefore investors should expect BTC $56,425.26 Bitcoin -1.47% Market capitalization $1.11 trillion VOL. 24 hours $2.8 billion to rise to new highs.
