<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.fo&#x2F;o9XUf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.fo&#x2F;o9XUf</a><p>I will tell you this, the truckers are not hurting for donations to allow bodies to stay and protest in comfort. Trailers full of supplies. Probably 10,000 bottles of water and a couple thousand rolls of toilet paper in Milk River right now. Eating like kings on homebake goods, hot soup, burgers, fries, you name it, someone has donated it and someone is cooking it.<p>The bitcoins and givesendgo can cover legal fees and tickets.<p>The Canadian people have already donated so much stuff that when this is over, a local charity is going to get a nice windfall of goods.<p>Source: first-hand, Milk River, yesterday and today.

The donations are about to crack $1M total now. Wonder if this will be seen in the future as the moment when crypto currency usage started to click in the developed world.
