That's a big "if", and it's operating under the assumption that it was objectively correct for the Prime Minister of a civilized nation which claims to be a democracy to invoke emergency powers and declare a group of protestors to be criminals, bypassing due process that a civilized nation which claims to be a democracy should be using to reach that conclusion.
Is that the kind of democracy you'd like to live in, where any group of people can suddenly be declared criminals without due process?

No. The solution is to use democracy to require due process. Bitcoin remains the wrong solution for both the reasons I gave in my GP comment. It (1) doesn't get around financial regulations that can freeze access to real money and (2) even if it could, allowing funding of any type of crime is the wrong solution. Finally, even in this case, the truckers were given access to their bank accounts right after they left because their money can't be seized without due process, which won't happen for this guy whose Bitcoins were stolen. https://www.nationalreview.com/news/canada-unlocks-vast-majority-of-bank-accounts-frozen-for-supporting-trucker-convoy/ https://www.nationalreview.com/news/canada-unlocks-vast-majo...
