If was a big crypto holder,I would never donate my crypto to some foundation,or crowdfunding platform.I don`t trust them.Can anybody prove that the Bitgive foundation is legit?I would appreciate if anybody provides any proof.I will never giveaway funds to some shaddy charity website.I would just do some research, find a person,who really needs help and donate directly to him/her.

That's interesting, why don't you trust Bitgive? I personally don't have an opinion, as I haven't researched it but it seems okay from my POV. What's shady about the website - what would you be looking out for?

P.S for any whales out there, what do you guys use to give typically? I'm thinking about the good old mail the paper wallet. Probably the best IMO.

No, no, no. Do not mail the paper wallet. Most of these charities do not have a clue what a paper wallet is and how to safely sweep these wallets to use the coins. Some might never reach it's destination.  Roll Eyes

I would take the Pinnaple Fund approach if I were you. Post something anonymously on Reddit and do it in public. When you give money to this charity, everyone knows about this and the money would be less likely to end up in the wrong pockets.  Wink

Thanks so much for the info! Do you know of any other examples aside form the Pineapple fund? or anything else there is to look at? The Pineapple fund inspired me to part with some crypto Smiley

there are charities that are accepting bitcoin as donation. a decent one that i know of is called BitGive (https://www.bitgivefoundation.org/) you can use exchanges or services such as ShapeShift to covert your altcoins to bitcoin and donate too if you want.

Thank you for linking me to BitGive! Much appreciated.

Hey guys,

I am posting to see if anyone else has this problem. I have made substantial amounts of money in cryptocurrency. I bought in early – I wouldn’t classify my wealth as the result of foresight or skill, just luck. I now have a problem: I have a lot of crypto that I would like to give to charity. However, I don’t want to convert my crypto to fiat – it’s a hassle. There’s tax, bank transfer delays, I have to identify myself, the list goes on.

I want to give back after my substantial windfall – I feel humbled to have what I do and I want my money to have an impact in the world. Does anybody else have this problem? What did you guys do? Any suggestions on platforms to give anonymously in cryptocurrency? 

Regards,
Crypto2Give
