I'm fairly ignorant of crypto, but wouldn't exchanges hold similar power?
Peer-to-peer cryptocurrencies do not need intermediates. For governance, one can use smart contracts. This is why things like ConstituionDAO can happen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ConstitutionDAO If it’s good or not is another topic, but it is definitely possible to skip banks and other middlemen.

#23The money should first go to Ottawa residents besieged and subjected to 24 hour honking, diesel fumes and noise from engines running through the night. Then there's revenue loss for the businesses forced to shut down and wage loss for their employees. Class Action Suit could rightfully clean out the GoFundMe.
Honk Honk

Regardless, i doubt people waving swastikas and demanding that democratic leaders be replaced with a dictatorship is exactly the type of "standing up to government" gofundme envisioned.

Activists take that discomfort w/ the status quo & advocate for concrete policy changes. Popular support often starts small & grows.
To folks who complain protest demands make others uncomfortable... that’s the point."

Yeah, seriously. What is up with all that tar sand oil ruining our environment from Canada? Build your own pipelines and don’t ruin our tribal land down south, please.
