The government thought that they can stop the protesters by closing or freezing their bank accounts to make no use of those donations. Haha.
Little did they know that there's bitcoin that has a great value that can be sent and received without the intervention of the government.
With the concern of scammers, AFAIK, there's an actual protester that has shared it. Yeah, hard to believe but to the donators, always verify before sending any amount.
This made me realize more how useful bitcoins is not just the normal way I use it but it can bypass government restrictions. With bitcoins we will not worry anymore of any restrictions but what about if our country ban bitcoins? Because, I remember there are also countries where bitcoins is banned.
I am not one of those country so I do not know the actual feeling. Maybe the country of Canada is not included in the ban? Because, why would they be use a bitcoin as alternative and about the scammers. Scammers are everywhere and they love joining the crowd or whenever there is a popular event, they will use that as an opportunity to attack. People should always watch out for them.
