Former CIA agent and whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed on Sunday that he used Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) to aid the process of leaking classified government documents in 2013.<\/p>\n

What Happened: You know that whole NSA story from almost TEN YEARS AGO? I paid for the servers that made that possible using Bitcoin, revealed Snowden to his 5 million Twitter followers.<\/p>\n

Without mentioning any specific names, Snowden called out wealthy VC investors who issue caution against investing in Bitcoin while hyping up centralized garbage-coins in which they own a significant stake.<\/p>\n

If you ever make it, don't be that guy. If you are that guy, change, he said.<\/p>\n

Snowdens comments drew in responses from a number of market participants, including Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) co-founder Billy Markus,who stated, anyone who isnt an idiot in the space respects bitcoin for what it is.<\/p>\n

I've never been a fan of any flavor of dog money, said Snowden, reasoning that it was partly due to his nature of being a humorless scold and partly because he believed a lot of earnest people will mistake it for an investment and get hurt.<\/p>\n

Still, Snowden went on to note that he has significantly more respect for people like Markus, who concedes he created Dogecoin as a joke, rather than those who consider it to be extremely serious and launch DOGE-funded missions to the moon. <\/p>\n

Snowden was presumably referring to Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk, who announced in May that SpaceX would launch a Doge-1 satellite to the moon next year.<\/p>\n

Price Action: At press time, Bitcoin was trading at $57,787, down 3.88% in the last 24 hours.<\/p>\n
