The Trucker Convoy is now being funded with Bitcoin

in #bitcoin3 years ago

Gofundme has egg all over their face and bitcoin is doing just fine

In what should be a surprise to no one, a centralized platform did what they always eventually do and picked winners and losers.

In this case they halted donations to the Trucker Convoy in Canada and seized the more than $9 million raised.

While they did eventually say they are going to refund the money, it's too late at this point.

People are turning to bitcoin.

Someone just sent more than 2 bitcoin to the cause:

I've been saying FIAT is dead for so long that I sound like broken record.

Seizing funds for any reason is always bad idea. The money doesn't belong to government, the government owes the "money" to citizens, they have earned the money for doing something useful for the whole population.
