Canadian truckers protesting the COVID-19 restrictions started fundraising with Bitcoin after their fundraiser was suspended.
Canadian truckers have started protesting the COVID-19 restrictions in recent weeks. A GoFundMe fundraiser was organized to support the protesters, but the campaign was suspended after raising more than $9 million. In some quarters, these protests met with harsh reactions. Those who wanted to donate received the following message:
“This fundraiser is currently paused and is being reviewed to ensure it complies with our terms of service and applicable laws and regulations.”
It has also been announced that the 9 million dollars collected will not be given to the campaign owners. The reason for this was stated as the violation of conditions and it was claimed that the peaceful demonstration had now become an occupation. The site states that donors may request refunds; He said the remaining funds will be sent to charities verified by GoFundMe.
Donations Will Be Collected In Bitcoin
After the donation campaign was suspended, Canadians decided to collect donations in Bitcoin. As it is known, Bitcoin cannot be controlled by any entity because it is decentralized. Following the launch of the campaign, donors managed to collect about 1 BTC. The collected Bitcoins will be kept in a wallet which requires several signatures to spend the collected funds.
