The organizer of ‘Stop the Steal’ hosts Clubhouse Sessions about Bitcoin.
Ali Alexander, the organizer of the ‘Stop the Steal’ movement that claimed that Donald Trump actually won the 2020 presidential election, had implied that he is effectively in hiding since the January 6 US Capitol attack, which he allegedly helped planned.
However, he has still got time to appear on the audio-only social media app Clubhouse to talk about Bitcoin.
The political activist, who has been banned from sites like Twitter and Facebook this year, hosted a Clubhouse room on Wednesday named “How Bitcoin changed my mind and me.” In the room, he talked about everything from asteroid mining and elites’ quest for infinite gold to Janet Yellen, whom he referred to as a “st*pid b*tch” for her comments on Bitcoin’s use in illegal transactions.
Alexander has every reason to adopt Bitcoin. As an activist, he relied on cash donations to help organize members of the alt-right. However, PayPal and Venmo have cut off access, citing the policies against their services being used “to promote hate, violence or other forms of intolerance.” Alexander’s Patreon account had also been suspended.
In the meantime, he was making money through GiveSendGo, a Christian crowdfunding site. He has raised $30,000 before GiveSendGo deactivated his page for its payment processor will not help fund, Alexander.
Bitcoin operates differently; cutting off access to the decentralized network is even more complicated. Alexander addressed the Clubhouse listeners that he received “passive income” from Bitcoin. “People send me small donations,” he added.
It is still unclear if Alexander was one of the recipients of a December 8, 2020 donation of 28.15 BTC (worth $522,000 back then) to 22 addresses connected with “far-right activists and internet personalities,” like Nick Fuentes and neo-Nazi publication The Daily Stormer. A bitcoin address linked to Alexander in 2017 through his Twitter account has not been used since September 2020.
After the attack of the US Capitol, Alexander, whose connections to the rioters are being investigated by the FBI and Justice Department, has kept his physical location hidden,
“We are getting new hotel rooms, new vehicles, new security,” he said in a social media video. “I have to now hire full-time security to live with me.”
When asked about his future plans, Alexander replied,
“I only want to talk about Bitcoin, and my future plan is to get more Bitcoin.”
