Bitcoin Is Borderless
summary
Panelists describe concrete deployments: using Bitcoin and USDT to fund frontline medical supplies—delivering helmets and medical kits—and to pay doctors, teachers and lawyers inside Belarus via a bespoke payout system that avoids frozen bank rails. NGOs shift donations into crypto after bank account seizures and smear-driven freezes, treating crypto as a bank of last resort for persecuted activists and exiles, while warning that AML/KYC rules force dangerous data leaks and urging miners and builders to support privacy-preserving, renewable-aligned infrastructure for private transfers into sanctioned or surveilled states.
