"Given that bitcoin and the blockchain are still misunderstood in the eyes of the public, industry proponents have long sought to showcase how the digital currency’s attributes can be used to the advantage of global relief and philanthropy efforts.

For incumbent financial services firms, eager to avoid the negative connotations bitcoin can bring, such efforts are often the first step in their engagement with the industry.

This year, UK banking giant Barclays and investment firm Fidelity each announced their first foray into bitcoin and blockchain. Both projects were advertised as benefitting those in need. "

I think its a good move to bring the world to a better place. I found this article and i was intrigued by how much bitcoin has grown and how dependent it has become to help those in need.  I also read in some other thread that bitcoin is being used for relief efforts across the globe to help those who have just faced a natural disaster.

Hey BitcoinTalk Users; so i gave it a bit of thought but i wasn't really sure what to think. Are we allowed to use shortened links in our posts. Say i made a really detailed post and i wanted to make a referrence to another site but also wanted to shrink it down to earn something from users who click on my link. Is it allowed? If so, are there some limitations? Because i know people can make posts entirely just to get someone to click their link. But what if i typed my post detailed enough that it deserved to have a shortened link.

Hey everyone, i still new to this whole bitcoin processing but i've manage to earn quite enough and i would like to know how exactly i could change my bitcoins to fiat then transfer it to my bank account so that i can use the money locally. I would appreciate it if you could provide safe and legitimate sites for transactions and explain the process in a simple way. Thank you.

In my previous thread i requested a loan without collateral which i truly apologize for; I talked with the guys at wealthy affiliate and they said they would be able to keep my discount for premium membership at $20 for the first month. I need the premium membership to improve my skills in SEO and website advertising.

I wish to request a loan of 0.05BTC; if you wish to put interest; i would be able to pay back $25 through my freelancer job for typing documents; but it would take three days to return the payment, but if i receive the money earlier then i'll definetly return it.

As collateral i have my minecraft account (worth $26.95 at the moment) and i also have a steam acount worth $555; i will provide the passpharses for both accounts and once you confirm them i hope we can make a transaction. Though i'm offering them as collateral i hope you keep the account details private, and also i would ask you to return my minecraft account when i return the payment. I hope this process could also remove the negative trust on my profile.

Reply If you're interested, i will provide you ownership over my accounts by linking them to your email address.

Amount of BTC needed: 0.02BTC
Reason: I have $10 right now i need $10 extra to pay for the wealthy affiliate course before the discount offer ends later today.
Repayment Amount:0.03BTC
Repayment Date:20/05/16
Bitcoin Address:19gk6uj6TPrHgVZ84eYRbP7NXDcBHqy1Yx
Collateral (if any):Sorry i don't think of anything i have to use as collateral

I understand newbie account are to be trusted with caution; please do not reply to this post if you're gonna say something within those terms. If my request is denied i'll just accept and try another time.
