As you Can See from different World News people are dying By Covid19, And Despite the Success of china against it, but the world must come together to fight as the world problem. As an Investor, entreperenur, and businessman in Crypto, I see Opportunity for the Bitcoin Community to show the power of it by the donation from the platform and let the world know about it, this will increase the number of people who will trust on Bitcoin and Crypto In general which we all need in order for the people to have financial freedom,

I suggest that it will be good if the platform itself (Bitcointalk) will provide BTC Address for that Donation to avoid theft or unrated address from unknown and after Contribute enough the transaction of exchange to get tools for help have to be done from those stores which accept Bitcoin, that help will be for the currently most affected country/countries

I Belive the Community will help and Understand

Despite the steps of China fighting COVID-19 being successful, we still see numerous countries especially that of Europe area, that are still struggling and battling this pandemic. We need all the help we can get, and that is a reality. Not all families are given support and some providers are having a dilemma whether to follow or not. This idea is very timely and relevant, having many Bitcoin users investors we have. For sure the safety and security of the funds will be of utmost priority. The remaining question would only be the support from admins and moderators as well as the government itself to accept this kind of assistance. We can hope not only for positive results to the community outside, but also here, the Bitcoin community.

I also think that the idea is good. We can achieve our goal but most importantly we can save lives. There is a serious problem that has allowed the spread of the virus that the most affected countries did not follow the protocol or did not follow China's measures to prevent the spread.

That was a good idea but I think that is not necessary, we are living in different countries and every country which we live in had different financial support status problems. All countries all over the world were suffered on this pandemic virus that keeps spreading until now and for sure no one will be utilized the fund directly send to those who need help.

A lot of countries need donation which we do not know may be. Most of the European homeless people are passing worst time. In our local, the pandemic is still not outbreak but once it does, most of our people will pass bad days. That's where we can help.

It would be great and I think Theymus should be the one to handle it if this is going to be named after the forum.
This would help the victims and raise awareness about the crypto.

Actually Binance Charity was already doing this, they help directly to the people of China who were infected with the coronavirus.

Even though this idea is good but I doubt this won't happen, I never heard theymos raising funds so far on this forum.

If anyone can find the WHO and REd cross BTC or donation page where they post their BTC address, post the link here so OP can edit the first post. Maybe users can send any amount.

However, the Italian Red Cross coronavirus Bitcoin fundraiser smashes goal issues new initiative. You can send it here directly to your Bitcoin as a donation.

How about supporting the team from Folding@Home created by Stanford University who are finding solutions to the virus. They need CPU and GPU resources and help promote BTC at the same time which can be of good caues of the computing powers we spend.

So for those like me who has nothing to donate, try this instead. There talks about this is in this thread. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/calling-the-bitcoin-community-to-help-battle-covid-19-5232941

There's already a BTC charity campaign launched by the Italian Red Cross using the crypto crowdfunding and charity platform Helperbit.You can donate there,if you want.Bitcointalk,as a forum and an active community, has other purposes,one of them is to provide information about blockchain technology,Bitcoin and altcoins,so more people can educate themselves and learn about the opportunities of the crypto industry.
It's OK to donate coins if you want,but we are not,and we shouldn't be,a charity foundation.

yeah, I think this is already enough and also it might be difficult to handle this kind of money since it is in funds of the community. Maybe donating directly will be a good move or just do that donation by your self, the thing is you could help the community and you could always do it in a lot of ways not just in a donation. We have a lot of trusted users here in the forum or even the admin but I don't think they are going to accept it, handle a big amount of money.

Also, this kind of a worldwide problem so everyone is affected I think it is better to leave it to someone capable.

This is such a humane initiative however, I do not think that organizing a fund raising in the forum would be effective and would be supported by the majority. Online initiatives has always been skeptical for many people and thus collection of any mount of money forms would bring suspicions to the minds of people. I would like to believe that each country has their emergency funds that shall be used at this times because they must have it in the first place from the taxes paid by its citizens. And another point here is, would the government acknowledge donations through Bitcoins? And if it is done for promotional objectives as well would it mean that the Bitcoin community is willing to be entangled with the government?

So we are now seeing big organizations already doing it and had been accepting BTC. Philantropist I guess will have more trust to these big organizations than sending thier BTC to someone not known for helping. The orgs can do it for those with big hearts.

Why not? You have a good point there. But I am seeing a lot of issues in this donation suggestion. I am also in a country where in a lockdown protocol were being implemented. Who's country will this forum choose to donate for? But if they will gonna raise some money here in forum, I am willing to donate as I know the experience of being in a crisis like this.

Still, believing in government's decision and response with regards to this pandemic is the only thing to hold. I mean, they will protect their countrymen especially in this situation.

The thought is nice and very generous idea OP. But raising a donation from bitcointalk community will be hard task. Also admins here are quite loaded with works and probably thinking a lot of matters. Maybe someone who is trusted here can organize it.

Every country has their own donation group so much better if the donations can handle by their own local community. I think that isnt bad at all and the idea will be easily coordinated since you are dealing with your own local people.

But for raising awareness on crypto due to the virus isnt a good way. Crypto or not, we should think of donations to them. Its gonna look were using this forum to gain more users or what.

You have a good idea. This forum is the best place where all crypto enthusiast all around the world unite and show our support to eradicate this pandemic. However, that's the problem as — we are too big to handle such kind of fund raising. Who is willing here to stand as the leader? Who is willing to assess the funds entering? Who are going to buy supply of necessities especially alcohol and masks? No offense but I'm getting a little bit skeptical that someone here will volunteer himself which is understandable because it was a huge responsibility.

Unnecessary. Doing as such would most likely lead to additional popularity of the platform, but it isn't really advertised outside ( or there is no need to ) and additionally, if you wanted to help to fight the virus, there are already a lot of other avenues for such. I don't know for other countries, but a few countries' red cross groups have already started fundraising activities. Just recently Italy has already achieved its initial goal just after 3 days and is now continuing the said activity with an increased goal. The Dutch Red Cross also accepts donations through Bitcoin. A lot more trustworthy since it's an official group worldwide, which really helps avoid all the scams and such happening cause of the virus.

bitcointalk is not a charitable organization and unless you can find one that is transparent and has a good history you won't be able to get any donations because of the large number of scams that have been happening over the past couple of weeks using all kinds of methods!

Hold on. China hasn't surely stopped the coronavirus stuff.

the conclusion is based on the statistics they report. the new cases found per day has reduced from a couple of thousands per day to a couple of dozen per day. basically when the chart here called Total Coronavirus Cases plateaus it shows a significant reduction and signals the end of the spread being near.

Hold on. China hasn't surely stopped the coronavirus stuff. They are just trying to isolate the numbers by not providing to WHO. There is no solid proof of China stoppage because it's next to impossible to stop the coronavirus spread so quickly and suddenly halt the process. Being vaccine industry employee I have worked on so many articles and there is no clue on how this can be stopped immediately.

Speaking about the DONATIONS . .

Yes, donating can help but this donation shall be given to R&D facilities where work on the Corona is going on.

You might say donations shall be given to patient treatment, hospital but prevention is far better than cure.

In this case prevention is to look for vaccine, send it worldwide and immunise everyone.

However, this will need huge amount of money as cost of highly qualified equipment required in biotech firms are upto the sky.

So if any donations are going to be done by this forum then it has to go to research facility first.

My unpopular opinion:

If you are planning to help, just help in silence. This is not really the time to be thinking about promoting Bitcoin and and other cryptocurrencies through donations. I can't imagine to see a donation with "Donation from Bitcointalk community" label on it. The move is just the same with politicians taking advantage of the situation by having their faces and their names placed on the relief goods/items they give to their constituents.

This idea is really good, by this way the bitcoin will be more familiar to anyone, they will know how bitcoin or other cryptocurrency can help our country especially with this time, when crisis are still happening in our world, it is really good because it will help a lot of people who is suffering from the virus, in a way that a lot of people got temporarily unemployed, there are so many poor people who really afraid of this virus because for sure they will suffer from hunger because of being lack of money, but I don't think that admins of this forum won't raise fund for the people who is affected by the virus.

Limited in number. Limitless in potential.

That's a good initiative, but there's no need to make any donations for the current situation from this community IMO, every country is sufficient for their financial needs, this is not a disaster like a volcano eruption near a community, a typhoon, forest fire where lots of victims and affected. And not with the mods or admins, you can make fund raise for this with you or anyone who is interested but theymos won't do this.

I think this is unnecessary to run a donation campaign moderated by the forum administration to collect money for fight against covid19. Anybody can submit a direct donation to any government he thinks it deserves it, in any usual form, not necessairely in btc. The first goal here is to help fighting the virus and not spread the world about bitcoin.
Make it easy by convert your btc into fiat and send them to one of the government's box dedicated for donations.

However, bitcoin has already offered a great solution by its caracteristic as electronic cashless system which help people make touchless money exchange.
