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.
There are a lot of bitcoiners or bitcoin users in hongkong. With the current conflict between the pro-democracy groups and the beijing loyalist constant protest were held and people are already suffering including their economy. It is no wonder that many hongkong citizens are now buying bitcoin. If you want to check at localbitcoins you can find there a huge volume of peer to peer transactions. If the protest will continue hongkong dollars will decline and people will continue to migrate into bitcoin.
Anyway check out this article to see how the conflict in hongkong have created huge impact on bitcoin:

Hope that everything will be fine there, but as per my friend, they are fine and they can transact crypto exchange in Hongkong despite the war happening there.
Before the Hong Kong protest is over I read all the banks are closed due to the mass protest by the people. Thus, all the protesters have no choice but to use cryptocurrency in form of money. When I read the news, I thought the Hong Kong protest would boost the bitcoin price in the market but sadly not maybe next time I guess.
