Bitcoin isn't really about charity though...sort that sounds harsh, but you say "show what Bitcoin is really about" as if it were made to support charities like this.

No. The market should support renewable energy... And who exactly is this bitcoin?

No matter, what the cause, as long as it a legitimate cause, we might get behind it. Dropping a few satoshi here and there, will not break your bank.  

Have you even seen, what are being done to these African rhino's? Imagine someone cuts off your nose, while you still alive?

Have you touched a rhino? Have you seen a dead carcass, where the horn has been cut off?

Well I have, and it's not something I ever want to experience again.

Look at my message, ...I am saying, lets do something good, and try to undo some of the harm that was done. It does not just mean, that you have to support the
rhino cause, you can list any other cause, for which you feel, some BTC might make a difference.

I would one day, have my kids touch a rhino or animals like these, who are being wiped out, at an alarming rate.  

Franky1 - What would a African ranger do with your Yen Pounds etc? Convert it to Rand and pay exchange fees? They convert it to Rand, because it's the currency of that country and it practical, to pay people for their services, in the fiat currency they use.

 

Well here are some contact details on this page, if you need more info.

I doubt if, park rangers, have bitcoin addresses, but you can ask.  

The money also goes into other equipment being used, by the rangers. I know, because I watched a documentary on TV about this.

They use drones in the air to look for poachers, because the areas that need to be covered are huge.

But it's a choice, nobody needs to be forced to donate something, but it would be a kind thing to do.
 

Bitcoin is like a kind of money. The way you are using it depends on who holds the amount of BTC, just like the other currency Dollar, Euro etc. No need to clean up! The people who think BTC is not good really don't know BTC is what.

bitcoin for the win!

Would it be worth knowing that Mars One accepts Bitcoin donations directly on their official Website? It's a way for them to cut out the middleman and the risks of somebody claiming they're fundraising for Mars one when really they're not. Click on the one-time donations tab and you'll see that option: http://www.mars-one.com/donate

But, seriously, if I want to donate to a charity, I try to do it directly and do my research about that particular charity so I know the money's going where it's supposed to go. Donate your old unwanted stuff to the Salvation Army rather than Goodwill, for instance, because the Salvation Army CEO is basically a volunteer as opposed to Goodwill's CEO making a large salary while the clerk at the checkout counter makes minimum wage.

Why would the PRESS want to cover Bitcoin being "good"?

That's not what they're there to do! There supposed to wreck the image of cryptos in the face of the population so that people will remain in the fiat side of things.

Even if we fund the next big thing that everyone wants and that's good for the environment and gluten free and organic and all that other stuff, it turns into "Cryptos backed by large amounts of fiat", or something along those lines. Rarley will it actually be the entire truth.

In order to make Bitcoin more "positive" we have to talk to the masses directly, instead of having to use the news outlets of a medium. We have to spread it by word-of-mouth. Stuff isn't simply made positive just by doing good things.

Don't get me wrong, this is a good idea, and it might very well be some good publicity, but we can't rely on the media.

I'll consider dropping some BTC into the charity, but I'll have to see.

What I would ask is this. Once the donation in BTC was received and then immediately converted, exchanged into FIAT would not we be at the same place as if the donation was made in FIAT and the scam is in the works?

Thank you for linking this great article!

I also don't think we need to do an image campaign for bitcoin. We just need to build the technologically best Bitcoin possible through constant developmental evolution. That's it. Bitcoin is just technology with no behavioral implications attached. You can't sentence a piece of technological innovation.

All in all Bitcoin can be used for a lot of good things and can change the world for the better.
