Shocked this thread isnt getting more hits to be honest... Undecided

Since most of the people interested in bitcoins are capitalist money-maker, only interested in speculation about its future price it is consistent, right?

Fact: The Boston Bombing is number 1 news right now.
Fact: Bitcoins needs more positive exposure akin to Anonymous (which their recent anti child porn and other positive actions have imho made a difference) and what could be more positive (or redeeming) to bitcoin than helping Boston victims?
Fact: If enough bitcoins users made an impact on this the price will go up so capitalist should care if they know better.

Now that this is warming up.

I suggest messaging the profile owner directly to help him understand the global impact of accepting bitcoins and why it's different from paypal or any other method. You can post on the walls as well or the links but I see that as more for the benefits of other readers as your comment will get surrounded by paypal pushers.

Facebook also has a bitcoin app which may be easier for him to receive and at least share word to other fb users that it exists so posting it on his wall can also help with exposure.

I'll try to get a list of other survivors websites so we can help them out later today.

If it helps people it seems a good idea and something the Bitcoin foundation and BBC may want to jump on too. Be sure to explain how they go from BTC->Fiat though as learning about bitcoin is going to be the last thing on their minds at the moment.

I'd be happy to share the wallet address on my FB too.

Sounds like a plan!

ridiculous fees from our conventional banking system.

Noticed:

One of the survivors has a fb page and is having issues with a cc based crowdfunding source due to excessive fees (5%).

"GoFundMe charges a flat fee of 5% on all donations collected. That means GoFundMe has already made $7,500 profit off of this tragedy. "*

*currently its doubled.

Suggestion:

We should contact him (and perhaps all the survivors) to create a bitcoin wallet or even a coinbase account this would not only get worldwide funds into his account but an amazing exposure of what bitcoin can do for anyone in need anywhere in the world.

I want to get alot of people to move on this and make it happen. Artificial limbs are not cheap.
