Following the suspension of a GoFundMe fundraiser, collecting donations for Canadian truckers protesting against COVID-19 restrictions, a group of Canadians has begun raising funds with Bitcoin (BTC).
Before the suspension, a total of more than $9 million in donations had been made to the campaign.
Since then, GoFundMe has announced that they would not be distributing the remaining $9 million to the Freedom Convoy 2022 campaign as, apparently, it has violated its terms, stating the “peaceful demonstration has become an occupation” now.
As a result, the truckers have no way of accessing the funds, which prompted a group of Canadians to take it upon themselves to raise money for the truckers via alternate means, with the group opting to utilize Bitcoin.
