Donations to the truckers via GiveSendGo have been blocked by Ontario Premiere Doug Ford, according to Tucker Carlson. This act of brute authoritarianism clearly demonstrates how essential Bitcoin is going to be for our freedom. The problem is that the people who know how to use bitcoin don't know how to explain the process to everyone else. Consequently, people who want to donate can't. For example, just now, I managed to buy a small amount of Bitcoin on Kraken.com. But from there, I cannot figure out how to donate to the tallycoin site for the truckers, which is linked below. Any suggestions?

After asking around, I've learned that some bitcoin exchanges allow the user to withdraw bitcoin to the account of the charity. While this withdrawal process might solve the problem in the short run, more needs to be done to explain in general how to donate bitcoin, so that ordinary people don't feel intimidated by the task.
Since I don't like to be tracked, I don't have an activated cell phone. I use a Windows computer only. That leaves me no way to utilize the QR code, and no way to donate via TallyCoin. And I'm not alone.
The crypto crowd should wake up and recognize the gap between them and the rest of humanity. To crowdfund successfully, they need to accommodate the crowd. Make it easy, with clear, complete, step-by-step instructions. Never assume knowledge, and never skip steps. They would get more donations that way.
