Navalny Foundation Needs Bitcoin
summary
Claim: Bitcoin preserves operational continuity when banks collude with authoritarian states. The foundation faces minus one trillion rubles frozen, 300 staff across 30 offices, forced exile to Lithuania, and designation as an extremist group, so Fiat channels break. A practical fix: produce a Bitcoin instruction, adopt Moon wallet and non-custodial custody, and accept four bitcoins from donors. European banks still block conversions and KYC exposes activists, but self-custody plus developer tools (Fediment collaboration) demonstrably keeps funds and payments flowing despite state interference.
