Giving back 🎄

[mk4]

First of all, Merry Christmas! And congratulations to all of us for the all-time highs($25,400 as I'm typing this out). If you've held through the gruelling bear market of 2018-2019, you a champ. 👏

Now, with that said, also with the spirit of Christmas, let's not forget to hand out a bit of help out to those in need. Especially for those here that are really well-off and wealthy in life. But not only them, also for some of us here that aren't really wealthy, but living decently enough.

Here are some of my personal picks for this month, and short reasons why:

1. The Water Project (https://thewaterproject.org/donate-bitcoin) - a very basic need of a person, and most of us here are probably taking it for granted. But yet, a lot of people in other countries(in sub-Saharan Africa, in this case) are having trouble gaining access to this very basic need.

2. Human Rights Foundation (https://hrf.org/donate-bitcoin/) - They fight for human rights. Need I say more? Alex Gladstein is an avid Bitcoiner too! For this month, I'd prefer the other 2 options though.

3. Your local community - yep, doesn't need to be an online donation and it definitely doesn't need to be bitcoin. Head over to local charities and relief centers, or probably something as simple as handing out some food/water to the homeless. No need to be fancy!

And yea, if you're not well-off yourself, you can always donate even just a few dollars or so(or give out a meal to a single homeless man/woman). Every single help counts!

Finally, wish all of you enjoy the rest of the remaining days of 2020, and may you all stack more sats in 2021.

I am saving your post in my browser. In the future, if I have enough bitcoins, I will consider donating them. Especially, I will consider donating to The Water Project. My country has been crisscrossed by about 1200 rivers. But we face the problem of scarcity of pure water. This problem exists all over the world. If my money saves one life, I will be glad. Thank you for bringing this in front of us on the occasion of Christmas. I am late. But Merry Christmas.

It is the thought that counts, . .

well, the taste of the food also counts.

This  is a good one and very importantly once you have the capacity to lend a helping hand to anybody do it without any grudge or waiting for a pay back from them. This season is a good timing for giving back and I hope personal with the reminder from this post I will give back to someone.

[Coyster]

The need to give/help someone cannot be overstated, especially in this somewhat difficult year, every year of course comes with it's difficulties, but 2020 was a turbulent year for the entire world and I personally hope we have a much better 2021. Where I come from, it's normal for us to be extremely generous during the holiday season and thankfully I was still able to meet up with that this year. Happy holidays to you all, I can only but wish you all good things going forward.

Merry Christmas to you too!

Helping others when you can and when you can afford it is always good.

I prefer to help on a local level as I can see the results immediately, as small are they. On 24th I bought ten dinners for local homeless galls and dudes as everybody deserves at least not being hungry in the Christmas Eve!

Hah. And there's a reason why I specifically used "Every single help counts" and decided against the "thought" variant.

The reason why I am not much of a fan of charities and NGOs and whatnots is that we are sometimes adding a layer where it is not necessary at all. Not passing judgement on people who are fond of donating to charities. That's good and needed as well as there are also areas where the only help that arrives are those which come from NGOs and other charitable organizations.

I'm just pointing out, however, that oftentimes looking after our own neighbors, families, and relatives is enough. I mean, take a look at your own backyard and most probably there is someone who needs a little help. Your Sats would certainly be much appreciated.

True, I'd mostly prefer giving straight to locals too. But then again, you mostly have no choice but to donate to charities if you want to help fund a specific cause. Perfect example would be The Water Project— it would be really really illogical to head over to the suburbs of Africa just to help with like $50 lol.

That is just amazing post and sparkling motivation for the donors. 

I will sure make some charities in the coming days. Im actually from developing country and we have lot of issues with female education, their basic needs and more! I am more concern about such charities which help female rights to be up-voted. I have seen with my eyes how they survive here. Most of them don't even get formal education in their lifetime.

Thanks for sharing your side as well, I will make sure sometime soon I will contribute too.

My mantra when it comes to charities is if the charity is big and famous then do not help them, instead you should be looking for charities and NGO's that are helping a small community and needs funding. I would also like to add to donate to your favorite creators in any platforms, most of my picks are available in Patreon so I might as well plug them here. I agree with you in regards to helping those near you but sometimes the best help that you can do is to support them, not every help is monetary. And to everyone that is going to help people, always impart them a message like "If you ever have the chance to help others like I helped you then do it, spread kindness."

Patreons of my Favorite Creators and some NGO's and some backgrounds about them:

• Anxiety War, catches child predators online and the only way he can broadcast his videos without getting removed is by putting a Patreon.

• Rare Earth is a documentary about history that is not taught in history books, some war crimes that you will never hear in the mainstream media.

I think for someone who understands how his donation can help, no words are needed. He knows it himself. He does not need to be reminded so that later he began to shout at every corner: "Oh yes, now I will do charity work."
There are always more people with warm hearts and those who are not indifferent to other people's pain. Now is the time of holidays, and of course you need to be attentive to your family and neighbors. What if they need our help? Maybe a few Satoshi will help cure a child and give him life. There should always be a charity place, but you shouldn't brag about it. As the Sermon on the Mount says: "When you do alms, let your left hand not know what your right is doing."

We already blessed of what we earned this year and yes better if we share our blessings to the other people even in a little way. I salute to those crypto user who gives help or any donation to the other people even their income is not big they willing to help unlike the others who earn big profit in this industry and they will not share even a little bit of their earnings. Binance exchanges is helping the others and that is why I like this exchanges. People need our helps because others have source of income not like us or even they have jobs their salary is not good just like to us.

Who ever gave that "Sermon" needs to come down from the mountain from time to time and join the crusade of these less fortunate beings. Let me quote " . .but you shouldn't brag about it." , I think the better line would be: You shouldn't brag about it all the time, coz you know even luxury cars lose their beauty when you use it all the time.

Some people are working hard to give back to the people who needs help and to the organizations who will do their agenda about something that will help the community grow.

Bitcoin can really be the best source of profit that an individual will invest to because it will surely help those organizations to do their duty decently with a proper budget.

I'm sure that these organizations will see how effective bitcoin is and how good bitcoin as an asset and digital currency in the market, if they see how beneficial it is.

[samputin]

I have earned some BTCs because of selling high and it made me really happy. In fact, I withdrew some of them and buy things to give to my loved ones. But, not only my loved ones were benefitted but other people as well that are not related to me. Well, they're kids in particular.

I just have a soft spot for kids and I make sure to give them a part of my blessings especially during this holiday season. I'm hoping to reach wider beneficiaries soon, which will not be limited to kids alone. All with the help of bitcoin. Sharing is indeed caring and it feels better when we give instead of only to receive.

Happy holidays everyone! Wishing all of you a prosperous and abundant 2021.

I agree. But I think some people are demonizing this a bit too much. There are people who somewhat ‘flaunt’ their good works by posting on social media. While some people might automatically think that people are doing good deeds just so they could post them on social media, I really have no problem with it as long as people are really getting help, and that hopefully some people would get sort of inspired to do the same.

[Sapphire915]

Reaching out a hand for help in any kinds, big or small is a noble act especially during this seasons of giving in the midst of pandemic. How I wish I have something to share to those people, but sadly I am only living a simple life and was just new in this Bitcoin world and my family is in need too because of several natural disasters like typhoons and floods that hits our Country. However, before Christmas arrived I had gave clothes and blankets to my countrymen here that are most affected with typhoons and floods. I may have less to share, but I still find some ways to give which the only thing I can afford this time. But I know somehow soon, if I earned a lot here, I will be able to share more to all the needy. Merry Christmas!

[LogitechMouse]

We have seen Bitcoin pushing towards its new ATH day after day. I know for sure that most of the users here right now (especially those who are involved in campaigns paid thru Bitcoin) have the capability to donate to some people this Christmas season.

Fortunately, I have donated some of my earnings in a charity that I know here in our place and that is the only thing that I can help for now. We know that most of the people right now worldwide are struggling because of the pandemic but lets not forget to give to the people even if it is a small amount . Just beware of the scam charities because even those filthy scammers are swarming it too .

Happy holidays to all and a Prosperous New Year

[Clark05]

I hope even not christmas seasons people will help others who really badly needed our help. Because other will not fullfill their needs everyday because of they don't have job or maybe they salary is low. At my place they have people who are homeless and my priority is old people sometimes when I have extra money I buy foods for them Im scared to give money on them because maybe they use it to the drugs or gambling so I give foods.
