Greenpeace Argentina: ‘Paying Bitcoins To Its Members And Local Activists’Greenpeace is an international environmental activist group who has separate offices in over forty countries worldwide. The main headquarters is located in Amsterdam, but the non-governmental organization (NGO) has spread all around the globe since its inception in 1970 with over 3 million members. This group who represents the entire grouping of all of its sects worldwide has already announced back in September of 2014 its Bitcoin acceptance through integration with BitPay. This week the Argentinian faction can now receive donations directly with the nonprofit’s partnership with BitPagos.
The platform BitPagos is payment gateway who focuses its business on the South American region. The service supports multiple fiat currencies, Bitcoin, and credit card transactions. They say, “the Bitcoin technology has presented itself as a safe and simple alternative for the donor”, and they recognize that more donors can now be accessed by skipping over traditional banking systems. Not only is the payment portal helping Greenpeace Argentina accept the digital currency they are also helping members and activists get paid in Bitcoin. BitPagos blog states:
