A Crypto Christmas; Using Bitcoin to help feed the homeless

[Victorik]

That's wonderful! Giving back to the community. That's the essence of Christmas anyways. But obviously, only a few know and actually imbibe this culture of sharing. Thanks for reaching out to the down and trodden.

This project is very good, but I always worry that things like this is scams. I have seen some terrible "behind the scene" footage of illiterate people holding up posters for something that they do not benefit from and then scammers taking the proceeds of these scams. (Important Note : I am NOT saying this is one of those scams)

I hope this is not one of them and that the proceeds of this goes to the correct cause. (You are 100% correct... Christmas has been over commercialized)

We would really be having that kind of doubts on which i cant really blame out people on now to hesitate on making out some donation when it comes to these kind of causes.Well, there are people who do

this from the bottom of their heart or something real and the truth but since scams are really rampant then you would really be always have second thoughts.
Just like on what you said that if this is actually true then good job to OP, giving out and helping those people who are in need at least even on most
simplest way would always a big thing for them.

Even myself would really be hesitated on making out some donation because you would really be thinking off that the money you would give would just come to waste because lots of scams or frauds are really rampant on this market on which you should really be that careful on giving out donations thats why in depth verification or positive feedbacks should be seeked out first before making out some final decisions on making donation. Christmas season is the holiday for giving and sharing out some part of your money even how big or small it is does really counts.I do appreciate these kind
of initiatives made out by other people.

Very nice and Merry Christmas everyone, I'm always a gib fan of helping homeless people, especially whenever you are talking about helping them with bitcoin and crypto because you can have two targets to help and feed the homeless people and spread the word of bitcoin to have economic freedom in all over the world so I totally support the idea, The only problem with your images is you are using the faces on your image and this can be disrespectful for them, Imagine even if they grow up after years they still some pictures of themselves on the internet where they need some other people to feed them, so I hope you take permissions before taking these pictures.

We asked for their permission and they were happy to take a picture with us. The people we are helping are the children and elderly. So far we have only $100 which will be used to buy more food items today and distributed in the next location. Thank you

That's really commendable on your part and true representation of what Christmas is actually and see the happy faces of those you have shared gifts with.This is year of giving away happiness and giving some gifts and meals to the needy one's is what we all should appreciate and try on our part to do in our locality aslo.There are lot of those who can't afford to buy even one meal for their family and instead of giving expensive gifts and doing parties with friends we can help them a little also which will make them happy this Christmas and be their Santa.

Once again Merry Christmas to all although I am little bit late but this whole weekend has the same vibe.So enjoy it.

It’s really nice that there is someone who is doing this , caring about the poor and the needy. That’s quite nice and if everyone will have the mindset of helping the poor people around them, it’s going to be a starting to changing the world for good. Sadly a lot of people never cares about that and all that they are after is just their own, and would rather take from the poor and add to the already big share that they have gathered up for themselves.

I have been doing something like this, but it is not with Bitcoin. Mine is that I go to the hospital and show the little support that I can to those who are sick and also pray with them. I have once thought of using crypto, but I felt that for the part I’m into, it is quite not necessary, because they are sick people and need to have quick access to the money I’m giving to them. Maybe I would try something else. By the way, Good luck man, and merry Christmas.

Hope you could get more support! Im not saying you are a scammer but at least make out some considerable proofs that people would believe on.You couldnt really blame on why lots

had really doubts on making deposits or donations because lots had making this as an excuse just to scam out peoples money but if this one is true then
i might make out some deposits but i do still need more proofs that would convince me in doing so just like the others.

I agree with the previous membe here not to show there faces its a sensitive area people have pride and one should respect. I must say you are a very good humanitarian with the limited resources you are doing a fine job. This is something I am very passionate about, hence I won't get too personal about.

Once this is a genuine cause those who can help do what you can. However generally I dont believe in hand-outs to help people for the day. Help people to help them self and in the process that they can also help others in similar situations. To be frank God didn't put us here to be suffering it is man that did that and It's a shame cause they can fix it and refuse to do so....going of track. For the people on need It's a blessing for them which equals a blessing for you.🙏

That's a great project,OP.Keep it up with the good work.We need more people to start acting rather than sitting on the forum all day long.
I'm not sure that this is the right way of promoting the bitcointalk.org forum,since most of those homeless people probably don't have computers,internet connection and electricity.
Anyway,Christmas is a time for sharing and charity,not a time for consumerist orgy,buying stuff you don't need
and eating three days like a pig.Maybe that's why I hate Christmas nowadays.The meaning of Christmas has changed a lot.

Funny thing though the driver that drove us to the market told me he is hodling Shiba Inu and wakanda Inu, looking at his appearance one wouldn't think he's educated on crypto.

He most likely isn't educated in crypto.He just got caught in the hype around those shitcoins/memecoins and he wants to make some easy money by buying low and selling high.

[yayayo]

Great project! Keep it up! Some of us really uses cryptocurrency to help in real life, some users I have met or people I have met think that cryptocurrency is digital currency and can only do things online where in fact you can use it in many more ways such as project like this or any related project it only shows that there's is no limitation in cryptocurrency.

Anyway Merry Christmas to OP and to all users I'm sure people who received their gifts this Christmas is also thankful to you.

ya.ya.yo!

Congratulations on the success of your goodwill project, I can see some members already comment on the image of those given the charity help too, I guess many None government organizations use real time images to show as prove of legitimacy and also as a way to gain more international recognitions. Can you please sign a message from the wallet used for this donations.

I am also very impressed by the OP vision and work. I myself plan to help the poor and the needy but do not have many funds to start the campaign. However, i will still try to educate people about bitcoin and this does not require any money. Where there is a will, there is a way.

There are many people who are willing to help needy people but due to so much scam around us people are fearful in donating money to projects. As far as Christmas is concerned, people spend too much on it along with new year. We can cut down expense on Christmas and donate same to needy people. That is true spirit of Christmas.

[MinoRaiola]

That's really nice. I will send some bitcoin next week.

Hey SatoPrincess.. use this Bitcoin to help feed the homeless. All the best for you. TX: 0cc280759dc1fc3e11a621ae437a335ba7aacec116c97ce1f1c6f37cc7c16554
Please write us what is bought with the bitcoin, or what you do for them.

We are back from today's outing. I want to post the pictures in the OP but I don't want to cramp the thread. Can someone please tell me how to post pictures in rows and columns to manage space. Thanks

Iike the gift you are giving others that is how Christmas was before not this time, the pictures inserts is due enough to believe that you have done Christmas to your surroundings and if have money i would have given you, not give you money to support what you have done

[Shasha80]

We, as humans, must help each other. because the world will be better if more people in the world help needy people. Especially celebrating
Christmas by using the Bitcoins that we have partially to help the homeless or the poor that is what a lot of people have to do nowadays.
Moreover, with the pandemic that has not ended, the number of poor people is increasing. Hopefully what the OP is doing can be followed
by many rich people who do have extra money that can be used to help needy people. Christmas will be more beautiful and meaningful
if it is celebrated not only with our own families, but used to create charity events to help others.

Its not really compulsory or mandatory when it comes to donation or something like this but showing off support with these kind of good deed is always nice but be careful because not all would really be

true and just like other users been saying that some do make this situation to scam out people.If this one is actually true then helping  those homeless people do always end up that good impression
by the community.

The world would be a better place if people would really be helping each other or support to those who are in need.

[Trojane]

.....and there it goes, another person with a good heart that understands that Christmas is a period of love and it must be shared and that they're many out there that can't even afford one square meal per-day; not as if he took over the responsibility of feeding them for a lifetime but he did fed them once with which these people will pray with joy in their heart that might change his lifetime(the donator).
 I'm really happy with what I'm seeing because the economy is really frustrating and most people are getting insane over depression but you(Sato princess) played your part, to this generosity I say may God create a part of blessings for you, Amen!
