Once again, privacy activist and infamous whistleblower Edward Snowden offered remarks related to the leading cryptocurrency, bitcoin.

The former computer intelligence consultant for the National Security Agency and contractor for the Central Intelligence Agency used his Twitter account to express his short sentiment about U.S. President Joe Biden’s bid for $6 trillion in stimulus proposals in an attempt to “bring back a better America.”

The celebrity figure said on his post, “Six trillion dollars? This is good for Bitcoin.” At the time of writing, the post has already 41,000 likes and was already shared more than 6,000 times.

Not the first time

This is not the first time Snowden has talked about the digital asset as he has done so in recent years.

For example, back on March 12, 2020, after the “Black Thursday” market crash, he said, “This is the first time in a while I’ve felt like buying bitcoin. That drop was too much panic and too little reason.”

Also, back when the U.S. Justice Department went after Snowden’s book sales following a lawsuit against him, he also tweeted, “In conclusion, this is excellent for bitcoin.”

Despite all of these, however, bitcoin maximalists are not too keen on showing kindness to the whistleblower as he has denounced the crypto asset on several occasions.

Contrasting actions towards bitcoin

As it appears, Snowden shows contrasting views toward the crypto alpha dog.

On some occasions, he criticizes the cryptocurrency but he has admitted using it on a regular basis, once referring to it as the first free money system while also talking about privacy currencies like monero and zcash.

What is clear is that Snowden is a believer in decentralized technologies and that on more than one occasion, he has referred to cryptocurrencies as a potential threat to the nation’s monopoly over money.
