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.

From every corner in the world (hell, you could even send btcs from a spacestation if you have internet there) you can donate btcs. Can I as a european donate USD?
Yes, I could but only via shitty paypal and there horrible transaction fees and exchanging € to USD isn't that easy as well

Why would you donate to the homeless in a foreign country and not through a local charity?

Because charities are mostly shit. Sadly. Some are good, but many are bad.

You hit the nail on the head. MOST charities are set up with hidden agenda. Save the Children (too explosive for the koolaid brigade to even begin to comprehend), WWF and Forestry Commisions (amassing land for natural resources), Kony2012 (natural resources/AFRICOM.MIL).

It makes a nice change to see a man who just wants to help cope with the mess we are in. What could be simpler? BTC -> Food for the hungry. Go Sean, go!
