Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Thanks to technical assistance from Trace Mayer of RunToGold.com, GATA has begun accepting donations in the Internet currency called bitcoin, though we can't offer U.S. federal tax-deductibility for such donations, nor promise to keep accepting them if the U.S. Exchange Stabiization Fund cracks the bitcoin creation code or the New York Commodities Exchange starts a "market" in bitcoin futures to be controlled by JPMorganChase & Co. et al. To donate to GATA in bitcoins or ordinary currency, please visit GATA's Internet site here:

Nice, they've already received 12.5 BTC.  Not bad.

Gabi, if you are unacquainted with GATA's work (2005 GoldRush 21 conference highlights) then I do not think you understand how big this acceptance of bitcoins by them really is. They have been suing the hell out of the Federal Reserve.

To get started, I highly recommend you watch these two videos.

Dr. Edwin Vieira at GATA's 2005 Washington DC Conference speech. Dr. Vieira practices before the United States Supreme Court and is THE expert on American monetary jurisprudence.

Attorney and investment banker Robert Landis's complete 2005 GoldRush 21 conference speech.

Given the physical violence they have encountered, early on Bill Murphy was jumped by some goons and left with a massive shiner and told to shut up, and their refusal to shut up therefore I think GATA deserves out financial support and I am glad GATA now accepts bitcoins. If you are looking for a great organization to donate to this is one.
