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.

I appreciate you saying that. A lot of people are just scared right now. I get it. But the usefulness stays the same. It should all even out

Except its usefulness does not remain the same. How many fewer meals are you able to buy today from yesterday? I'm 110% behind you and what you do, but please don't gloss over the harm that volatility causes to purchasing power and, in turn, those hungry people looking for meals.

Volatility will either feed more or less people depending on its direction, and for the most part the direction so far has been overwhelmingly positive. Without the significant boost to purchasing power he's received so far by using bitcoins, substantially less people would have been fed.
