So what you mean is, so long as all of the truckers supporters had crypto, they could transfer that crypto to the truckers.

Could governments hypothetically not block those transfers/confiscate the wallets?

Again, speaking out of ignorance so forgive the dumb question.

Correct

More specifically there are some best practices that would prevent anyone, including a determined state sponsored adversary, from being able to seize or block this. Without the best practices there are some theoretical capabilities.

In any case, an organization like go fund me could not bow to corporate policy, public pressure, or a state backchannel, to prevent this.

So with or without due process, the people can still form capital and act.
