Bitcoin is not solution of every problem. What makes bitcoin an alternative to bank accounts? You can hardly buy anything from it in real life and its price is changing every now and then. Nobody will move its funds from bank to bitcoin wallet as mean of storage, since that’s a big risk.
Let’s not burdens bitcoin by declaring it as solution of every problem.
Bitcoin is not the solution to every problem, that is true, but the characteristics of bitcoin make it a perfect solution for this problem, any movement if it wants to remain active needs money, and the protesters got some money but they made the mistake to keep that money in a bank account and now they have been locked out of funds that belongs to them for no other reason than their political dissension, if they had stored their funds in bitcoin then they will not have this problem.
