Money is moving into the hands of the *right* people (...why Charities and Non-Profits should put up a Crypto donation button pronto)

in #life7 years ago (edited)

One thing that fascinates me about the cryptospace is that, suddenly, any regular-looking person you meet could be a millionaire.

And you wouldn’t know it. Because they are crypto-rich.

How much they have in their wallets, is nobodie's business (except here on Steemit, for some reason. Why are our wallets public, again? ;))

Yes, there’s a lot of talk about Lamborghinis in crypto groups, but I doubt most of them would visibly show their wealth once they have accumulated an amount that makes them feel rich.

One aspect of true financial freedom is that you are completely independent from the expectations and permissions of other people or institutions. The less others know about it, the better you can maintain that freedom for yourself.

Besides the Lambo-crowd, there’s a very quiet crowd.

They might be quiet, because they don’t quite trust their sudden wealth yet.
They might be quiet, because they realize that for the first time in their life, it might not be money anymore, that stops them from pursuing their dreams.

And that takes time to digest.

Anyone who’s over 35 (or conscious is the slightest way ;)) will also attach their personal goals to making a difference in the world, because they know it’s the only way to feel true fulfilment.

Crypto is said to bring the biggest wealth distribution in the history of humankind.

So just imagine the number of people who are - in their mind - beginning to quietly allocate some of their funds to causes they want to support.

What will our world look like if money is suddenly in the hands of the right people?

It might still take them a few months, but once Bitcoin hits $10,000 or $20,000 - how much money will become available when people remember what tithing is and realize how easily they can afford it. And how quickly they’ll have recovered those donated funds when Bitcoin hits $50,000 or $100,000? Bottomless donation pits...

There is a large conscious community in the crypto space, who seriously wants to contribute to creating a better world.

So if you run a charity, an animal shelter, a cancer research center, an Anastasia Gardening Method project or anything else that needs donations in order to get started or sustain itself - educate yourself on cryptocurrencies and put up a button that allows people to donate with Bitcoin, Dash or Steem (in descending order of transaction fees ;)).

Or better yet - start investing in crypto yourself!

Here are three foundations I know, that have recently put up crypto donations buttons.

Check them out and see if you could put some of your crypto-profits to good use there.

https://www.entrepreneurthegirl.com (Berlin, Germany)
https://steemit.com/@dreamsoftheocean by @surfermarly (Lanzarote)

And just as I am finishing this article I just found a new account on Steemit, by the name of @anonymous.donor which proves my point.

I have a feeling the person behind it created it as a result of @surfermarly's speech at Steemfest, where she introduced her charity, because that's where they sent their first (generous) donation to.


There’s a new breed of good people

We may not see them.
We may not know who they are.
They don’t need public recognition for their ego anymore.

But they are here.
They are everywhere.
And they are growing in numbers.

If you are one,

THANK YOU.

whoa. god dammit, how did i miss this awesome post. seriously. it's straight fire, i love so much about it. cause and effect. i for one will not be ever buying a lambo but more likely a safe zone for us to live as a group together in, because EXTRA ;)

Yes! Priorities and values. 💜

Who needs a lambo anyway when you can have an Audi. Sorry, ugh, my German-ness just typed this...

you wait till you see what i found today.. .. will blog about it soon.. . it's Volkswagon and it's gonna be a GAME CHANGER on so many levels ;) touches at my nomad heart but also drive to a place and make a bit of scratch change in crypto (they have'nt thought of that angle yet) but yeah, you'll love it.

Wow, that sounds intriguing, can't wait!
You made me start my B&W challenge today! We can do it together ;)

Was fun chatting with you today :)
😘

Roger that! Down! Keep it coming.

so exciting! Thanks for this message of positivity, it fills me with joy that this is happening, and Im so glad to be here on steemit to witness it!

I am full of hope for humanity, no matter what things look like on the surface :)

Great idea to have a donate button with crypto currency. I completely agree! We were trying to figure out how to get a friend some money with paypal and their crazy fees last night. I was saying we should do it through crypto but we couldn't get it worked out in time. They are supported missionaries here in Panama by an organization. Anyway, good thoughts. Thanks for sharing! :)

Great point! Lets make the world a better place. @choicehumanitary is a great organization as well. I know their team well and convinced them to get on steemit a few months ago. Their goal is to end extreme poverty (<$1.70 a day) in the world by teaching people, villages, and regions how to be self sufficient. It's genius!
