They literally got arrested when they tried to offramp the donated Bitcoin because it's an open ledger. Look it up. If anything, it's one of the best #Monero ads of all time.

How much monero was donated?
Btc is only digital money that got through.
The protesters weren't really that informed and only knew the most normie crypto of them all, then got surprised how easy it was to go after them.
Had it been monero and they wouldn't been able to attack either the protesters nor the donors.
We aren't supposed to know how much Monero was donated. That's the entire damn point.
While I concede that btc has a privacy problem further worsened by kyc on exchanges, most of the btc (about 70%) was never seized and most of the folks still got to use it. Probably would have been much easier to get around if they had more places they could spend it without selling. I am also not a Monero expert esp it’s technicals, but I think that it probably has a branding and liquidity problem in the sense that a lot of CEXs have delisted it and the avg person unfortunately uses CEXs to access cryptocurrencies. That’s why I still maintain it was a bitcoin ad, despite the shortcomings of btc.

Yep. Monero fixes that. 👍
