I hope this will get attention. Just so more people will realise that bitcoin is dangerous to use and accept because it is not private. Even if youre doing nothing wrong, would you want to unintentionally receive funds linked to this?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's insurrection. Terrorism would be if it was against civilians with the intent to cause terror and mayhem.
Terrorism is "Premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents, usually intended to influence an audience". Trying to coerce / kidnap / etc. Congress people sounds like terrorism. They don’t have to be successful.

Even your own definition doesn't apply - the insurrectionists weren't a subnational group (they don't have a cohesive identity other than sharing a common cause) or clandestine agents.
Cool analysis. I wonder if the breach is considered domestic terrorism, could this funds be seized as part of an effort to fund such terrorists, or because its a private donation the gov can't touch it.

And Janet Yellen received millions from wall street prior to taking over the treasury department... what has that to do with anything. Nick Fuentes is despicable, but this whole article is innuendo, the title on HN included.
Which part of the headline is not supported by statements of fact from the article? The article's own headline is about 5 times too long to appear on HN so I had to abbreviate it.
> While there’s no evidence yet that Fuentes entered the Capitol — in fact, he explicitly denies entering the building — he was present at the initial rally and seen outside the Capitol as the rioting began.
Nothing would make me happier than seeing Fuentes convicted and imprisoned, but no amount of hyperbole and false claims will make that happen.
Uh, fake news? From reading the article, the donor sent $500k to 22 different parties. Some of these parties include Luke Smith, a popular Linux youtube personality, the guy who runs cock.li, ruqqus (a reddit alternative), various right wing websites including amren.com and unz.com (which didn't promote the protest). 45% of the donation went to Nick Fuentes, who was at the capitol, but denies entering the building.

Nick Fuentes is possibly going to face charges of incitement, though, because he was addressing the crowd through a megaphone and urging them on while specifically mentioning that the vote counting had already been halted. Amusingly enough he was being called out on this alt-right personality Richard Spencer yesterday.
