Excerpt:
"The GoFundMe fundraising platform said Feb. 5 it will automatically refund donations made to a trucker convoy in Canada protesting COVID-19 vaccine mandates after backlash.

GoFundMe said Friday it was preventing the funds from going to organizers of the Freedom Convoy and would instead send the money to “established charities verified by GoFundMe.”

The justification for the unusual move? “We now have evidence from law enforcement that the previously peaceful demonstration has become an occupation, with police reports of violence and other unlawful activity,” GoFundMe said.

The website didn’t provide any evidence of the alleged violence or unlawful activity."

    Crypto Mining? Unless you have nearly free electricity (~6cents/kwh) ,
    it may not be worth wear and tear on your gpu's.
    Your gpu's also must be high $ or you won't be profitable.
    Maybe some off-the-wall cryptocurrency that is hard to
    trade for anything will be cheaper to mine.
    (Ethereum won't be allowing any mining soon so they are out.)

    Fox News has it that GFM only made the switch about refunding to donors after the allegation of fraud was pressed by the state of Florida.(and, undoubtedly, the backlash on social media).

    Mark Jeftovic (Bombthrower) sees this incident as an argument against Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs)--as authorities can step in and freeze or confiscate funds held in CBDCs if their use doesn't accord with the prevailing agenda.

    Bitcoin may be immune from this particular threat as Jeftovic argues, but that doesn't remove privately formed cryptos from some other potential weaknesses--such as what we recently witnessed in Kazakhstan when authorities blocked internet access. No internet, no crypto.
