Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Thanks to technical assistance from Trace Mayer of RunToGold.com, GATA has begun accepting donations in the Internet currency called bitcoin, though we can't offer U.S. federal tax-deductibility for such donations, nor promise to keep accepting them if the U.S. Exchange Stabiization Fund cracks the bitcoin creation code or the New York Commodities Exchange starts a "market" in bitcoin futures to be controlled by JPMorganChase & Co. et al. To donate to GATA in bitcoins or ordinary currency, please visit GATA's Internet site here:

CHRIS POWELL, Secretary/Treasurer

Nice, they've already received 12.5 BTC.  Not bad.

Gabi, if you are unacquainted with GATA's work (2005 GoldRush 21 conference highlights (http://www.runtogold.com/2005/09/goldrush-21/)) then I do not think you understand how big this acceptance of bitcoins by them really is. They have been suing the hell out of the Federal Reserve.

To get started, I highly recommend you watch these two videos.

Dr. Edwin Vieira at GATA's 2005 Washington DC Conference speech (http://www.runtogold.com/2009/07/pieces-of-eight/). Dr. Vieira practices before the United States Supreme Court and is THE expert on American monetary jurisprudence.

Attorney and investment banker Robert Landis's complete 2005 GoldRush 21 conference speech (http://www.runtogold.com/2005/08/robert-landis-at-goldrush-21-with-gata/).

Given the physical violence they have encountered, early on Bill Murphy was jumped by some goons and left with a massive shiner and told to shut up, and their refusal to shut up therefore I think GATA deserves out financial support and I am glad GATA now accepts bitcoins. If you are looking for a great organization to donate to this is one.
