Based on this, the news article below can be seen as the next big and important move for the whole crypto market.<\/p>\n<p>Check it out please:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Wikileaks is reportedly set to begin accepting additional cryptocurrencies as a way to serve users who want to contribute to its media and whistleblowing&nbsp;efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Announced by Wikileaks founder Julian Assange in a&nbsp;Tweet&nbsp;earlier this week, the comment follows news the Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF), an organization that has helped process financial donations for Wikileaks via Visa, MasterCard and PayPal, abruptly&nbsp;halted&nbsp;its services.<\/p>\n<p>As&nbsp;previously reported, Wikileaks started collecting donations in zcash in August, a move that followed its acceptance of bitcoin and&nbsp;litecoin.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Assange sees the FPF shutdown as \u201crichly ironic\u201d since it the organization was founded to stop economic censorship against Wikileaks.<\/p>\n<p>He stated:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike our response to the first banking blockade, (Wikileaks) will open up additional crypto-currencies. Those wanting to contribute to Wikileaks can already use bitcoin, litecon and the ultra-private monero and zcash.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that users can also purchase Wikileaks merchandise on its online shop can already use a variety of payment methods including cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p>Wikileaks announced Thursday the arrival of its first&nbsp;WikiLeaks CryptoKitties. An internet-based game for buying, selling and breeding digital kittens, CryptoKitties are a form of cryptographic collectible built on the ethereum blockchain.<\/p>\n<p>With the launch, Assange stated: \u201cCryptography is not only transforming the global financial system, it is generating creative innovation in a vast array of human interaction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Donors can bid for one of Wikileak\u2019s \u201cpurebred cryptographic kittens,\u201d while newcomers can use the items to learn about blockchain and get their first cryptocurrency, Assange said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>*********************************<\/p>\n<p>If one of the paying programs on our Monitor appeals to you, please support <em>EmilyNews<\/em> by registering for it on our website.
