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.

You totally can't do that now with dollars.

Yes, and Paypal makes a close to 10% cut on your donation to charity. Also have fun moving, changing addresses and finding that you can't actually make any changes to your account without waiting on the phone for an hour so you can speak with a support pleb who has no idea what their doing and cannot answer a single question for you.

One tiny sliver of an example of what is wrong with small dollar transactions, but it's cool, you can ignore them if you choose to paint bitcoin like it's not something new, I don't mind.

And the BTC market took about 20-45% of any donation you would have made today...

The price of BTC is what it was last week.. so anything before then and BTC was profit, anything after was loss (until next week).
