       Just a little reminder that in some countries your bank account will be closed if you protest against things like police brutality.This is not an irrational fear or a hypothetical situation, and when it happens, you can't donate with credit cards or wire transfers to help. You have to find other ways.Example:https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2020/10/16/nigerian-banks-shut-them-out-so-these-activists-are-using-bitcoin-to-battle-police-brutality/

       This has also happened in Canadahttps://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/emergencies-act-banks-ottawa-protests-1.6353968and been found to be illegal there:https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/a-judge-ruled-trudeaus-use-of-the-emergencies-act-unconstitutional-so-what-happens-nextAnd in the USA and been deemed illegal there as well.https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/supreme-court-unanimously-rules-in-favor-of-nra-in-free-speech-case-upholds-first-amendment-rights-of-all-advocacy-groupsHopefully these court rulings will deter future violations, but I wouldn't bank on it. (Sorry, I couldn't resist. #DoublePun)

       @adam I suspect that many people will glance at that and say "pffft, that's Nigeria, whatever".For those people:https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-60383385
