9 million bucks, its crazy, if this isn't one of the biggest adverts for bitcoin, then I don't know? Same with Joe Rogan, he should be able to stream his content on independent platforms if spotify wants to remove certain eps

Sounds like great opportunity for Bitcoin/LN funding platforms. Let’s go!

Ended up on ZeroHedge, with a Tyler Durden intro:

More than $700,000 has been raised to benefit the truckers on Tallycoin.
Not sure what happened there at ZeroHedge. The tally so far (pun intended) shows ~2.5 BTC. At BTC/USD of $42K, that's a little more than $105K. But then just some hours ago, Bitcoin Magazine published this:
Bitcoiners have raised over 3.06 #bitcoin for the Canadian truckers since GoFundMe suspended their campaign 🇨🇦 👏
So I can't square up the difference. But even so, that 3.06 BTC, is about $128K. No idea where ZeroHedge came up with $700K. Maybe there are payments made outside of Tallycoin, and not tracked by Tallycoin? Who knows.

From now on whenever anybody asks to raise money via GFM just tell them you’ve love to help, but given their past actions you have no assurances that your donation would actually go to its stated purpose.

In case you were wondering what life under a CBDC will look like
Those “certain attributes” and “certain conditions” may well end up being things like what Justin Trudeau, or whomever replaces zim thinks about your activities (or “unacceptable opinions”).
Donating to #FreedomConvoy? Listening to Joe Rogan Experience? Those aren’t approved activities. That’ll cost you some demerits.
You may not even know it’s happening, just that the GovCoin that hits your phone every month is not as much those other, more compliant, people. Or when you go to spend it, the prices adjust to different levels. That’s if your GovCoin app even allows you to complete the purchase, after evaluating it against a scorecard devised by woke ideologues who think you’re fringe.

It’s a problem when these people congregate around the choke-points of a centralized, bureaucratic technocracy and impose their personal neuroses onto the rest of society. Not only as policy, but as official canon on what is truth itself.
The final straw is when dissent is criminalized and plunder legitimized. When all actions against those dissenters are fair game, while any civil (and constitutionally protected) resistance is by definition reprobate, then we have arrived in dystopia. At the very least: authoritarianism.
