On Sunday evening, the fund even got a donation of an entire Bitcoin, more than $50,000 CAD from Jesse Powell, who heads Kraken, one of the highest value cryptocurrency exchanges in the world.
“Fix the money, fix the world,” Powell wrote on the fundraiser page, later sharing a screenshot to his Twitter account. “Mandates are immoral. End the madness. Honk Honk!”
“HonkHonk Hodl” is actually a name for the five men running the fundraiser, said Foss.
The notion that government, media and economic structures are foisting lies upon the public underlines many of the ideas on display in a HonkHonkHodl blog, which is part reporting from the Ottawa protests and part political manifesto.
The money raised by the Bitcoin investors, according to Foss, is currently sitting in a cryptocurrency wallet for which all five men jointly own the key. That means use of the money — for legal fees for the truckers, or to hand over the money entirely to Freedom Convoy organizers, is in their hands.
“Now it is small donations, collected quickly, from a large number of people.”
The donations to the HonkHonk campaign range from as little as a few cents to a few hundred dollars, with a handful of very large donations in the thousands of dollars.

Used the link for Archive (no subscription / no paywall), because the Toronto Star website shows me this, and they don't take bitcoin for payment:

The platform takes nothing from the donors. It only gives the users an opportunity to leverage Bitcoin’s censorship and seizable resistance and receive aid from people around the world. Every BTC raised goes to the campaign and its control by it.

The article referenced HonkHonkHodl's blog numerous times.
Does anyone know if this blog is publicly available somewhere?
