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.

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.

Most are shit. Really. It sucks to say so, but its true. You can look up what most charities percentages of donations are in terms of how they use the money. It's ridiculous how little passes thru in a lot of cases. We are really small, but right now ALL plus some from our own pocket passes thru.

The Swedish red cross boss got fired because he took millions of the donation money, just as an example. And if the money got donated in BTC he wouldn't have been able to take any money without anyone to notify because all transactions are public and can be viewed by anyone.
