Bitcoin Forum

Hey everyone,

I did it again last night as I said I would in the first thread I made here two days back. This time though I bought 30 double burgers and a few gallons of hot coffee, creamer, sugar etc all paid for with Bitcoin. Brought it to a dim lit underpass here in downtown Montreal Canada where a large group of homeless people were huddled up in dirty blankets and cardboard slabs while the snow was pounding with some bad winds, cold as hell but I brought the Food and coffee to them, served them and talked with them for a while too. Like the last time they were super happy and it made me feel like the wealthiest man alive inside. Here is the video from last night. http://youtu.be/cGSjtaa3Ih8

Here is the reddit thread also where many people are helping as well with changetips that will just add to the amount of goods I can buy for them every time I go out to do this and I will keep on documenting it for the world to see and hopefully get many inspired as well. http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2mo2td/paying_for_burgers_and_coffee_with_bitcoin_to/

Ok I know this is already TLDR so I will zip it now and hope you guys like the video.

OP, You are kind to them. But did you tell the homeless guys how you were paying those food? I think they would never get involve in bitcoin before getting enough food for themselves.

Awesome! Bitcoin needs more stuff like this. Good job!! I will see if I can do something similar in my town, maybe the next guy will too.

Amazing  :)

Yes I told them it was paid for with bitcoin but they knew nothing about it, never heard about it, I gave them a basic explanation though just the same :)

Yes now you are talking!

Really kind person who do not care to do charity with any tools

Awesome gesture.
But this could have been done with fiat as well.  :)

Sure it could have been done with Fiat, however where is the unique angle in that?

Oh fantastic , great work again !Thanks  :)

Great work, bitcoin needs some positive news spin other then silk road. You did a great job.

You are right, almost everyone out there that I mention bitcoin to, they always bring up narcotics and silkroad and paying for hitmen etc. The Media rams this crap down the throats of the masses. I sent some emails to the media linking them to my videos but I got no reply or even the time of day, since they are too busy covering more worthy news like who is killing who, drugs, boring politics and plenty of other matters. God forbid they mention what I am doing on the news, that would be way too boring for their audience. Whatever though, it does not stop me, they can overlook it all they want, I will just keep on doing it.

Mother Theresa would be proud of you. Keep up your good works!
I hope your actions become viral in RL.

Saint Maxx88 has a 22nd century sound to it.  :)

Exactly, this way bitcoin can be associated with something good and kind - an improtant thing as you spread the word...

Bitcoin being used for even more illegal activity.

Buying drugs with Bitcoin. Just shut down silkroad.

Feeding the homeless with Bitcoin. Get the drones, we are gonna bomb the blockchain.

Good work, bitcoinmax88!

I just nominated you for a prize on feeding the homeless:
