Bitcoin Forum

Hi guys!
Is there a way I can start receiving donations or startup funds?
Will be great advice for beginners as those who is interested in cryptocurrencies does not all have the funds

Do you think we are all rich and able to throw money away? We all started from somewhere, if you're looking to invest in BTC then start by yourself - begging here is not the greatest idea as it's not allowed according to the Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0):


Start by purchasing crypto, doing micro-earning tasks such as faucets or if you have a talent and you can do it over-the-air on this forum, you can do it and get paid in crypto. There are plenty of ways you can earn if you don't want to directly put your money in it, but just remember that begging/scamming is not an option.

what kind of startup is a beginner who by definition knows nothing and has no experience is going to run?! a beginner has to first learn what the hell a cryptocurrency is then think about running a startup and ask for funding.

What do you need startup funds for?

Programming costs nothing. If it's for mining then people will mine for themselves.

This forum has a rich and long history of contemptible failure of places that solicited funds. You're going to have to work extremely hard and demonstrate a lot of track record before anyone would dream of coughing up and even then almost no one will do it.

I don't think there's program for that in this cryptocurrency field. On the other hand you may use other platforms that are technology related yet not related to crypto called kickstarter. You may check it here: https://www.kickstarter.com/

Basically they are connecting inventors or innovators to investors or donators who are willing to support their unique project proposal.

Yea but these startups actually has an actual product to sell to their funders. Based on your topic on the other hand, it sounds like you just need some money from the community so you can buy cryptocurrencies.

The short answer is 'NO', its almost impossible to receive donation for a newbie account here. If you have some legit plan to do and somehow you are a established member of this forum then likely you may get help (but not sure). Your current question is something like begging which isn't allow in this forum.

Simple suggestion is, don't look for donations now. Do something yourself what you could afford. This forum isn't something for raise fund by donations. Repeating same thing would ended up with bad reputation (red tag).

Not a good idea right now based on your account ranking and what you are doing is breaking the rules.

Usually, people who are interested in cryptocurrency will first find out what cryptocurrency is before they need financial help to run their ideas. I am sure you already know that this forum is a place that stores a lot of knowledge about cryptocurrency and will be much appreciated if you want to get it and of course you dont have to pay anything to get this knowledge especially in forums.

Consider the best advice for you at the moment and dont be pessimistic.

When you have used "or", are you thinking that startup funds and donations are two the same thing? Or you are just affiliated with a startup company and an NGO that conducts charity?

For donations, this is a perfect example of a known organization which is UNICEF and how they've used it.

Didnt think this will break the rules here, will stop on this kind then.
Ps: I do not have the intention to beg or scam anyone, and i do not support that kind of behavior too.

Good, you should simply understand that just like you have to work to earn your money in real life, you need to work to earn Bitcoin. No one is going to donate you coins without reason, people donate to some causes like helping the poor or the sick. As for startups, it's investment, not charity, and startups are expected to repay their investors with share of their profits. So, you need a solid business plan and some good reputation to get startup funding.

understood sir :)

Receiving donations "if it is optional" is the last stage the project goes through as an expression of the extent of the project's success and consequently the possibility of achieving revenues through donations. Many projects do not succeed in that unless they have good programming and improved performance.


So if you were looking for her in the beginning of the road, then most likely you will not get anything.
