A year or two ago I would agree with that... These days though the scene is more about making fiat then saving the world... which is a god damn shame cause the potential is here if fuckers would stop being greedy and start really working for the greater good, maybe something would come from it. As it stands now though, I'm not holding my breath... I'd love to be wrong.
Perhaps so but there are some good folks out there.
I do a lot of work with regards to the Donbass in Social Media(Former East Ukraine). As a Ukrainian Canada I feel obligated to fight the fascists there the best way I can, by raising awareness.
I made a suggestion to the XAH Humanitarian Battalion to start accepting Bitcoin donations.
I figure its a good way to receive funds since Bitcoin is somewhat anonymous and any govt would have difficulty seizing accounts or blocking transactions. Bitcoin in this situation is far superior to Paypal for example. A group like suggested here would be good for encouraging folks to donate who share similar views.
The people of Donbass, "pro-Russians" as they are called by Western Media(when they are being kind) likely favor a socialist approach. Perhaps this project could have some positive impact there and help these people who are suffering greatly. I have friends constantly facing shelling from Ukrainian forces who live there. Not good. Lots of humanitarian support is needed. Far more than just the aid they are currently receiving from Russia.
The person who I made this suggestion to is actually an American from Texas, who goes by Callsign Texas. He was previously fighting along side the brave freedom fighters on the frontline defending Novorossiya/Donbass from the Western backed Nazis of Ukraine who are slaughtering civilians all over the area. Texas is good people. Served in US military. Now over 50yrs old. Today is actually is birthday. A musician, former engineer (thats good with explosives). Now doing humanitarian work as well as acting as an independent journalist/activist. A true Socialist to the core and willing to fight for his beliefs. I am not sure if he is actively involved in Combat on the frontline anymore but he still carries his AK while visiting the areas under threat while he performs his duties. Nevertheless he is a true hero in every sense of the word regardless if one shares his political views.
To learn more about him, to wish happy birthday, make a donation(paypal and bank only so far afaik) or find out the truth about whats happening in Donbass/Novorossiya visit his FB page here:
