Topic: Bitcoin as a medium for donations - page 6. (Read 1922 times)
This post made me cry and it is because I can really feel the extreme hardships and difficulties that people of Ukraine are experiencing right now due to mad invasion by Putin. And that is why we must really be supporting the people in there so they can survive this ordeal and one day get back to their normal lives. The outpouring of support for the cause can be heartwarming and is a big reminder to all of us how Bitcoin can be a big tool for the good of humanity. Bitcoin can be the best tool for humanitarian concern and I am sure that people will always remember this into the future. I am also particularly happy to note of that rice farming project right here in my own country courtesy of people who extend their generous help...am thinking right now of maybe also putting up a project for my own community now reeling with a lot of challenges including the increasing prices of foods and common commodities. Thanks for this post.

A very famous usecase for Bitcoin are already donations and Bitcoin as a medium for donations is gaining more support currently.
Bitcoin has a big advantage to make it an excellent choice for donations: Bitcoin is easily accessible, it’s fast and it’s a global network. Especially Bitcoin’s global network is a big game changer in favor of Bitcoin because it can be sent boderless from country to country. It can be sent from Australia to Europe, from Asia to Africa, just everywhere, Bitcoin is accepted.
It is true. Bitcoin is different from any other currency because it has no limitations to send and use. This is probably the reason why Bitcoin is quite popular to be an option for donation. I think with the current imaging of Bitcoin or with the current impression, people will be no longer assume Bitcoin useless or only used for bad purposes. Bitcoin is already a famous media to use for donation purposes. People must change their mindset about Bitcoin.Bitcoin has a big advantage to make it an excellent choice for donations: Bitcoin is easily accessible, it’s fast and it’s a global network.

The good thing about having bitcoin donation as a donator is that you could really sent out funds or donation without making yourself known publicly which is a plus and also any transactions made out by that
donation address could really be seen which it would be transparent whether it is really been applied into that particular cause or aim.
with the number of media users today, of course, it is very influential in an investment, including in the crypto world where bitcoin is currently the largest investment and is so popular among the public.moreover bitcoin wants to make plans for donations using this media will have a good impact on the survival of bitcoin if which is something you really want to do, let alone the donation is in the form of a positive activity
In our opinion.currently the media is very influential in all aspects of whatever it all depends on bitcoin users to make donations in the form of media, especially at this time the media is very influential in a reality on social media, with so many media users of course this will be a step that it is very good for bitcoin if you want to make a donation in this way so that it can indirectly have a good effect on the sustainability of bitcoin in the long term, with this at least it can increase public trust in the crypto world today
Another reason why bitcoin is a popular medium for donation is that you can collect donations worldwide through bitcoins. Anyone anywhere in the world can easily donate money in bitcoin without any hassle. We have seen recently how conveniently Ukraine collected donations in bitcoins and crypto which otherwise was not possible. Anonymity can be another reason but for me, it is the ease in transactions in bitcoins which encourages people to donate in bitcoin.

Aside from that, donators who do want to be anonymous and not disclose their identity will be encouraged to place their donations. This is another advantage as you can send and receive anonymously. This is why a lot of crypto donations are pouring to Ukraine, anonymous donors sending their crypto to this country without the danger of exposing their identity to the public. You don't need to go to a third party institution just to send money and fill-up a form. If you have your crypto in your wallet, you can directly send it to them. But definitely, make sure that you are sending to the right people not to scammers.

Bitcoin has so far made a very high contribution as a tool for distributing compassionate donations to others, both nationally and internationally, as was the quick response that was done by friends in several countries even though the media was not very kind about this.like in my country which is prone to natural disasters.

bitcoin and crypto assets can be used for a more positive and beneficial. we can see that with , an exchange platform as a charitable channel that accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT and other crypto assets. Not only that, some of them even started to use digital tokens and cryptographic-based technologies such as blockchain, in a careful and more innovative way as a way to make it easier for us to care for others

1miau, Thanks for the mention... in fact the situation has improved significantly since the line of contact has moved 80 kilometers away from my city.
Great to hear and it's a big demonstration of power, how useful donations can be if enough people join. I hope it will keep improving. 
I have added your reply in my OP that people know about all of your work.
Looking forward to your update.
Very good job!
1miau, Thanks for the mention... in fact the situation has improved significantly since the line of contact has moved 80 kilometers away from my city. In addition, you cited only routine tasks as an example. If someone has a desire, then in the thread there are links to other photographic materials (including those that I published reluctantly). I'll be doing another update soon as well, which means I'm still busy with it...as I don't have much choice.
All Peaceful sky above your head.

Bitcoin is often accused to be completely useless but of course we know it is not true. Because Bitcoin is useful in various ways already and it will continue to be useful for many more cases when Bitcoin gets more established.
A very famous usecase for Bitcoin are already donations and Bitcoin as a medium for donations is gaining more support currently.
Bitcoin has a big advantage to make it an excellent choice for donations: Bitcoin is easily accessible, it’s fast and it’s a global network. Especially Bitcoin’s global network is a big game changer in favor of Bitcoin because it can be sent boderless from country to country. It can be sent from Australia to Europe, from Asia to Africa, just everywhere, Bitcoin is accepted.
And Bitcoin will gain more popularity as a medium for donations when Bitcoin gets more established because more people will know and accept Bitcoin.
Some experts say: a network is multiple times more useful if it’s used by more people.
And that’s what happening to Bitcoin currently, it’s getting more useful every day, especially for donations.
Donations on Bitcointalk where Bitcoin is used / was used recently
Bitcoin is known for various Bitcointalk donation projects already, where members from Bitcointalk were organizing donation campaigns and used Bitcoin as a medium for donations.
Especially right now, some donation campaigns are currently active and hosted at Bitcointalk:
1. Support for Ukraine, organized by @derBowler [active]
Ukraine is currently suffering from a full-scale russian invasion, when Putin decided on February 24 to invade Ukraine and Putin’s final goal looks like Ukraine’s defeat and additionally the defeat of freedom and democracy in Ukraine.
Putin is commiting war crimes every day because russia’s military is targeting not only military targets but also very often civilian buildings and normal houses.
A very high number of war crimes was documented already.
As a result, a very large number of people is leaving the country to search a safe place and survive the war.
In Europe, many people are helping to organize transports of refugees, many oft them starting on the polish border.
DerBowler from Germany is also offering local support where he organizes help, transports of refugees and food.
He and his friends have already rescued a few hundred of refugees to Germany.
Pictures are currently not loading, I'll notify derBowler...

3. Building rice farms in the Philippines [finished]
It was only a very limited donation campaign where a small amount of donations was involved but it was enough to set up a rice farm and distribute the rice after harvesting to everyone in their small town. It was located in Isabela Province, Phillipines, by a local farmer who sent me updates regularly.
Our donation campaign was documented here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/donate-building-rice-farms-in-the-philippines-funding-done-farm-gets-ready-5334727
Bitcoin was proven once again as a solid medium for donations.
I’m sure we’ll see more donations campaigns also on Bitcointalk for various opportunities where Bitcoin will show its usefulness as a medium for donations.
If you know about a currently active donation campaign hosted at Bitcointalk, feel free to share it here and if at least 2 DT1 Members vouch for you and your donation campaign, I’ll include your donation campaign below.

I have no experience in managing charitable funds but I know how to help my city here locally, maybe this initiative will help pay for additional power generators, food or gasoline, since all the largest wholesale food bases of the Nikolaev region are located in the regional center, which is currently located on the line of demarcation, (the situation is also complicated by the fact that stores use various tricks and speculate on prices, adding a markup of 20 to 35% on all goods).
I immediately want to say that I will not keep a spreadsheet, all I can do is publish here in the thread photos of the work done and checks, if any (very often checks are simply not issued because speculation on prices during martial law is equated to a crime). I am not eager to do charity work, but because of this incident, and because my city is in the path of advancement of Russian columns, I decided to post a bitcoin address.
