Are there Bitcoiners in Hong Kong? How is the situation over there? I believe it should be Bitcoin's time, and help protesters in collecting donations, and help move value in Bitcoin.


I can't help but play the devil's advocate here given the phrasing of OPs statement. It seems as if the objective was simply to "collect donations" and "help move value in Bitcoin."


Please, and you should.

We are talking about the destiny of a people here and not merely the opportunistic tendency to take advantage of this simply to "move value in Bitcoin"

Replace Bitcoin with guns and you see what I mean.

"Are there gun owners in Hong Kong? How is the situation over there? I believe it should be time for citizens to have guns, and help them in collecting armaments, and help move value in the military industrial complex"

Let two issues, be two separate issues. Let the Hong Kongers define their fate. Bitcoin is apathetic. That's the hard truth.


But Bitcoin does help in the destiny of not only "a people", but "all people" as a form of censorship-resistant, trustless, sovereign ownership of "a money", and it's apathetic. Cool

Gun is a tool, Bitcoin is simply another tool.

Relax. The people must start somewhere, and it will be a slow process. Let it find its niche.
