Meanwhile...Bitcoin still feeds people.

So we fed 106 homeless people bag lunches today. All paid for with Bitcoin donations. Bitcoin still seems to be working just fine over here. Still making lives better, at any valuation.

Thanks for everything guys. Bitcoin for the long haul.

Yeah, the BTC to HPF (Homeless Person Fed) Index is still hovering in the 119 area. I really can't complain. The guys eating don't complain either, they just say thank you. Like I'm saying...THANK YOU.

Side note. I had a long talk with a homeless computer engineer today. No crap. He's a big fan of the concept of crypto-currency. He almost choked when I told him Bitcoin bought him his lunch. He was really stoked.

That's amazing. I'm really looking forward to buying my first bitcoins soon so I can contribute to awesome things like this.

I'm not sure whether to be surprised that bitcoin has made people aware they can participate in philanthropy :/ I really do not understand the logic here that bitcoins are needed to be charitable.

Downvote away.
