Since the start of the 2011 fundraising campaign Bitcoinn users complained over the fact that they were unable to use the currency they trusted to support a nonprofit they believe in. Wikimedia NYC is a chapter of the Wikimedia Foundation which runs Wikipedia, and it now allows Bitcoiners to use the platform they love to donate to a good cause

. In the past 24 hours alone, over 70BTC has been donated to Wikimedia NYC which will be used for hiring a full time staff member, help run educational outreach programs, and support free culture.

This is one small step toward universal acceptance of Bitcoin one large step closer toward the Wikimedia Foundation fully supporting Bitcoin for donations.
