How to Use Bitcoin to defend against starvation tactics
https://ift.tt/hOwEqBA
**Introduction**
I understand that many people think any government measures to expel the truckers from Ottawa are justified. I don’t want to try to persuade you otherwise. This post is for people who already believe that voluntary financial transactions should not be blocked or censored.
Assume the following:
1. One of the Trudeau government’s strategies is to starve the truckers out of Ottawa
2. The government can identify most of them just by observing their license plates
3. All financial accounts and debit/credit cards of the people identified will be frozen
4. Cops will set up road blocks at roads entering Ottawa
5. Vehicles big enough to carry large amounts of food and water will be searched and excessive food will be confiscated
**How can bitcoin be used to get spendable money to the truckers in Ottawa? Here is one way:**
**Getting bitcoin to truckers**
1. Send bitcoin to trusted trucker organizers. One way is: [https://tallyco.in/honkhonkhodl/](https://tallyco.in/honkhonkhodl/)
The organizers discuss this fund here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1ciUiOnVLM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1ciUiOnVLM)
2) Truckers install a mobile bitcoin wallet on their phones
3) Organizer distributes bitcoin to individual truckers’ wallets
**How can truckers spend crypto for food/fuel etc.**
1. Persuade stores to accept Bitcoin directly
2. If food trucks are permitted to enter Ottawa, they could accept bitcoin directly.
3. Truckers buy whatever gift cards they need using bitcoin. The gift cards are sent to their phones and the truckers use the numerical code or a scannable QR code at the retail outlet to spend the gift card for food, fuel, etc. Currently you can buy many different kinds of gift cards at bitrefill.com using bitcoin with only an email address and without doing KYC. But what do you do if access to Bitrefill is blocked for Canadians or if Bitrefill is forced/pressured to implement KYC?
4. There are a lot of people who would like to obtain bitcoin without having to go through a KYC exchange. Local crypto traders could go to Ottawa in person and offer to buy bitcoin for cash.
**Other Factors**
1. Are there stores in Ottawa that will accept bitcoin directly? This would greatly simplify the problem.
2. How tightly will the protest area be cordoned off by police
Any thoughts?
