Bitcoiners in Hong Kong protests?

[cotton ball]

Protests in Hong Kong is not about bitcoin legal or not, protests in Hong Kong asking for freedom from China and Hong Kong want to be peace and do not care by China in their country, do not have relation with bitcoin and protests in Hong Kong. They want their country become self confidence without have interfere from China.

I believe you didn't look into the "Bitcoin can be used as leverage against state sanctions" standpoint. That, and proof of work as a hedge for countries when Bitcoin is rising.

Not only India hongkong everywhere in the world Bitcoin has the market to buy and sell. If you want to to take the Bitcoin to next level you might be a President of US or somewhere in European region.
Then this bitcoin regulations are completely based upon the government regulations not all can control it.

O don't know, but I think what you have suggested isn't a good idea for the reason that we all know how dangerous the Chinese government is. They even have their own social media, that's why I think they can locate and record different online activities of their people. Besides, they don't need donations, what happening there is the dream of Hongkong to be free to China.

"Modern problems require modern solutions." Someone should make those projectors project the Bitcoin logo. Haha.

Are there any Hong Kong residents in the forum?

Protesters in Hong Kong are using wearable projectors to evade facial recognition cameras.

I am a protestor in Hongkong here. Situation here is too bad and the authorities have almost zero care towards fellow people. I am holding my Bitcoin for sure. I think governments are just using people for their own good. For so long hong kong people supported chinese people. Now when we are against them and asking for our rights they are doing this for us.

Apple removes HKmap-live app after China pressures the company. The app was used in Hong Kong by the protesters. What Apple is saying is, "the app was being used maliciously to target individual officers for violence”. But there's no proof, and Apple might have removed the app to protect its business-interests in China.

Apple needs their sweat-shops. Haha.

Bitcoiners hong kong protest about the situation in their country, they want to banned bank system and withdraw all their money in the bank, good thing if all hong kong citizen want to move their money in the bank to bitcoin or altcoin, have big effect to make bitcoin and altcoin price higher with Hong Kong citizen because they have much money in the bank.

no need to ask, take your rights

but don't expect people to respect you if you believe you have a right to destroy their possessions.

be very careful which direction you point your moral compass, especially when you have this very tense situation

to win, you must keep other Hong Kongers who do not protest on your side. Chinese/HK gov know that's powerful. They will try to get the non-protesting people to dislike you, which is why you must be so careful.

Are there Bitcoiners in Hong Kong? How is the situation over there? I believe it should be Bitcoin's time, and help protesters in collecting donations, and help move value in Bitcoin.

Yes am a bitcoiners and i'm here in hongkong now as a nanny. The situation here are not good. There are many protesters  here some train not stop operating. Becaus protesters are violence they are throwing ah gas with fire at any kind of builing. So hongkong now is not safe.

There are a lot of bitcoiners or bitcoin users in hongkong. With the current conflict between the pro-democracy groups and the beijing loyalist constant protest were held and people are already suffering including their economy. It is no wonder that many hongkong citizens are now buying bitcoin. If you want to check at localbitcoins you can find there a huge volume of peer to peer transactions. If the protest will continue hongkong dollars will decline and people will continue to migrate into bitcoin.

Anyway check out this article to see how the conflict in hongkong have created huge impact on bitcoin: https://thenextweb.com/hardfork/2019/10/02/localbitcoins-sees-huge-spikes-in-usage-during-hong-kongs-political-unrest/

To win, there should be a break in the chain of command from the other side, and convince that broken part of the other side to join your side. Divide and conquer.

Protests should be peaceful, and non-violent. If the other side uses violence, let them, and show the world. Don't fight back. The non-protestors will gather behind for support.

The "small protest" is slowly evolving into a civil unrest. Hong Kong's civil servants are joining the crowd, I believe the passionate Bitcoiners should also do what they can now. Donate, advertise, promote, short the banks/HODL.

The protests, which pose a grave challenge to Chinese leader Xi Jinping, have received broad support from Hong Kong people, including some civil servants - one of whom was arrested on October 31 for illegal assembly - teachers and financial sector workers who have at times taken to the streets.

In August, thousands of civil servants defied a government warning to remain politically neutral and joined a rally, while embattled leader Carrie Lam said in September she regretted the arrest of some civil servants during protests.

Yes, exactly, there are lots of crypto enthusiast situated in Hongkong, we even have some exchanges there, I don't know exactly why they need to protest and they can't unite as one, so thank you for sharing it. Hope that everything will be fine there, but as per my friend, they are fine and they can transact crypto exchange in Hongkong despite the war happening there.

Before the Hong Kong protest is over I read all the banks are closed due to the mass protest by the people. Thus, all the protesters have no choice but to use cryptocurrency in form of money. When I read the news, I thought the Hong Kong protest would boost the bitcoin price in the market but sadly not maybe next time I guess.

I also have my friend in Hongkong and right now, things are doing fine already. They can transact already whatever transactions they want including with those crypto enthusiasts compared with those previous days wherein they just want to stay inside their homes to avoid the war outside. Now, things are back to normal and crypto exchanges continue to operate for those who want to make crypto transactions.

I found someone from Hong Kong who might give more information about the protests, and how we can help. Does anyone know where we can order made to order face-masks, or t-shirts that accept payment in Bitcoin?

The worse thing in all this to me is that my local news is blocking all of these news, even though it has so little to do with us and is rather far away. My country has almost nothing to gain with China but to please them we just try not to show all the "bad news". China itself is being quite silent about the whole thing too, but I fear soon they will do something about this whole mess, and maybe about bitcoin itself.

That's terrible and frightening situation. on that day bitcoiners in hongkong really fighting for their freedom to use bitcoin. because they really see that if they use bitcoin they have liberty to their funds and they are not just easily manipulate and control by their government. with this happening all hong kong citizens will surely make their own way to safe their crypto funds and not over controlled by chinese government. however, does this work of the Chinese government last? and they are still cracking down on bitcoiners even if they are already using the blockchain system and even making their own cryptocurrency?
