Donating With Bitcoin

[bitzizzix]

Billions of people have smartphones, but do not have access to basic financial services, and bitcoin or crypto donations achieve this because they eliminate intermediary financial institutions and are completed instantly.
Taking donations with bitcoin is very easy, fast, secure and transparent and also has many advantages over accepting traditional donations, and anyone can open a bitcoin wallet and you don't need an ID, or bank account to access it.
and bitcoin donations will help with international issues and will get donations from everyone out there, just like disasters and wars too. However, if for certain beliefs or purposes it is more appropriate to ask for voluntary donations from local crypto parties or communities.
with data and snippets to show, I've done this before but only asked for donations with those involved with crypto or bitcoin. and also there is nothing wrong with you trying here and whatever the answer is, you have to accept it and you also do not show valid evidence.

One of my friends suddenly sent me a picture that showed a Mosque that they wanted to rebuild or infrastructure development, whether I want to participate in the donation or help them reach more people to get a donation. I see the details and have a conversation with that friend about their plans. I contact some of my other friends and cousins about the matter. Many of them are agreed to respond.

Why don't I open a Bitcoin donation campaign to reach more people? I know many peoples who work in the crypto industry. They also can donate here.
This thread never suggests you donate here or somewhere else with your cryptos. I want to remind you how we can implement Bitcoin or other Altcoins in our daily life. We can use the crypto industry in every possible way in our life. It'll open new doors of opportunities.

there are lots of things happened in the past about donation process from crypto most specially bitcoin ,and the latest is that Ukraine Run a donation in which even gambling sites in crypto and even the world and this forum cooperate , I myself provide a little amount that i can afford just to show my response from that calling.
and you and friends/family that partake in that Mosque project really made a good deeds, hope you will continue doing such for many chances.

It's just Bitcoin seems to be the a unique way to do it which makes a person think about using that option to donate. Some do it for the purpose of boasting, to be cool, to have something to talk about with friends. "Hey, I just donated using the Bitcoin technology." Sounds pretty. Very futuristic.
But at the end of the day, it's the thought that counts and not the amount or whatever currency you used to offer help to those who are in need.
Well, thanks for the reminder.

Donating bitcoin is not new anymore, as you heard in the news regarding with the crisis on Ukraine many people donated bitcoin to support the government in such crisis on going. They bought military equipment with that donated crypto assets which was the best option available. With bitcoin we can seamlessly send bitcoin any part of the world, that's what makes it amazing.

I would suggest that the place that is trying to get the donations should open it up, and not you. In your message you said "Why don't I open a Bitcoin donation campaign to reach more people?" and that means you are planning on starting one yourself, getting the money and everyone should trust that you will give those donations to the mosque or in any case whatever is the donation reason.

If the place that is getting the donations opens one up then I would support it, not this one directly but if I were to donate somewhere one day, I would not donate to third parties, I will donate directly. Like would you give me money so that I could send donations to Ukraine? Or would you donate to Ukraine directly? That's what's going on right now.

It has already become way way old to donate with the bitcoins. Last couple of years there have been donations in bitcoin for the health care issues, tornadoes around western hemisphere and most recently the ukraine.

If you were here on the forum through the covid situation then there was donation from the Forum members itself to various fellow bitcointalk members who took the initiative of donating food and health services by using the donation money.

Everyone liked that idea and they were enjoying the same while donating as it was for some good cause. However, I am way skeptical if this will work for the religious purpose or not. With the crypto users the mindset is way advance and they might be into something like modern world. Not sure if you will be able to ask it successfully.

You can definitely open a bitcoin donation campaign and I believe it will definitely help, but do you think it will be safe, don't you think scammers might endup hijacking the campaign, what if scammer use thesame pattern with your own post and endup changing the wallet address, people will definitely send coins to the wallet address and they might be thinking is the legitimate wallet address, they won't know the wallet belongs to a scammer that's why I believe it's kind of risky.

in planning to hold alms is a very good thing, for example if our intention is really used to donate, be it for a mosque or other natural disaster, you and maybe some of your friends can try it, for example if you want. to donate in bitcoin or any other altcoin, but I suggest you really mean it, and never have any intention to act on behalf of temporary donation for example getting funds, then you think you can get mutual benefit, not because I think bad or accuse , I'm just reminding.

Is there any followup on the fund to see that it is being used to purchase the needs of the victims? Even if the war victims can access the fund they might not be able to buy the daily need and medication if their is no follow up. Most of them are in hide out, some in the hospital, on the run and some are cut off the internet.

Just take a look for example with Binance on their charity which does current have ..

1,683 BTC
≈72,225,543 USD
Amount raised

4,666
Total donations

2,633,376
Total end Beneficiaries

When it comes to something like this then donations with bitcoin or other crypto had been here for a while already.
Everything could be possible but of course it does really require or need up some trust.

Many who are religious fanatics will want to donate as well. I won't stand to discourage you from seeking more donations with crypto. But crypto donation is no longer a new scheme in the charity industry. Ukrainians are good example of massive Bitcoin donations. Many might also buy the idea as it will serve a comfortable worship arena

Why risky? Are those people that donate blind to not see or compare the address to the original one? OP can post some warnings and other forms of proof that he was the original and people should know it if where will they donate. There is also no risk here because you are are not expecting for any return.

It was not like you are investing for a crypto but you are willingly giving your own crypto the people that needs it the most but first the OP must confirm it via going to the actual place and he should not believe on the pics or on the message that he saw on his screen because anyone can pretend in the internet. We need to be sure that the money will go in the right hands.

Accept or not, in near future all non-profitable or philanthropy organization will have options to accept bitcoin or other cryptos and government will agree with that as donations can be considered beyond regulations and limitations.

Bitcoin or crypto donations will become more popular when the war in Ukraine shows its effect. The point here is that we donate to Ukraine through the call of the government or a reputable organization. But if an individual does it as you do, it's very difficult to do because no one can guarantee that the money will actually go where it needs to be. So it's hard to get a positive response from everyone, the best way you should go through a reputable charity to implement this idea.

[verita1]

It is an excellent idea OP and it could work more strongly if the donations happen locally because then the community will be aware of the project itself first hand. It would also be an example to follow for future projects, more uses of bitcoin in communities is adoption.
Last but not least, people will learn that with bitcoin they can find solutions in many areas, they just need to try.

In short, we need tangible proof that the donation will really go to where it should be. Because personal endorsement is sometimes ignored especially if there is no site or any link discussing about the project. This is why official channels are highly favored when it comes to donations. It is not a bad idea to raise funds for specific purpose, but you need to convince people that you will really use it to such project by providing actual details.

this  is one of the best reason why we need to support and use crypto specially our very own Bitcoin because of the availability to be used as donation in all part of the world for all our plans, as long as there is trust and there is legitimacy? we can keep sending donations to everywhere without government interference .

In which country you live, the state has funds for infrastructure construction of places of worship, roads, school houses and so on, your goals are good, but what you can do better is, make a proposal to the government regarding the picture you mean (the mosque), ask them to look there and make the necessary budget for infrastructure development.

It's not a good idea to create a donation campaign for the mosque, in this forum, no one really believes here the donation is used for the construction of the mosque, My advice is to look for other donation alternatives for your mosque infrastructure, what if all countries come here to make a damaged mosque donation campaign, I think it's really messed up.

Remember the government has the right to build infrastructure for mosques, churches and public facilities, it's the state's obligation.

Yeah sure why not, you can try but as others have stated, i doubt that too many people here would be interested outside of those whom share the same faith as you do. I think personally that a lot of “bitcoiners” don’t tend to be very religious, so you might not find too much support here but why not try.

I have hosted several charity auctions here with great success, so it’s worth giving it a shot.

Well, I think it all depends. If people are able to verify that what you’re actually saying is truth then there is the possibility that they will like to donate to it. But, if there isn’t any way at all for them to really prove that what you are talking about is true, then most people are going to have doubt about donating to you because they don’t know if you are being honest with them or not.

Although I don’t think the OP is looking for donation on this forum, I think he’s just saying that he would like to start up a crypto donation and refer his friends who are into cryptocurrency to also make donation to the mosque by using Bitcoin or maybe any other cryptocurrency of their choice.

Donating through bitcoin/crypto isn't new — I mean, we literally had a $10m+ donation to the Ukrainian government/charities.

Not sure if the crypto community in general would be keen to donate to religions though, besides probably some people with the same faith.

Not only that it isn't new but most of the charities being held nowadays have an option for BTC/cryptocurrency donation.

Since cryptocurrencies have a significant value in cash, there are charities that also ask for such option whenever they ask for donation. Be careful, however, that there are tons of fake charities and wallets being shared around the internet. Since it is very easy to post one's respective wallet ID, you have to be wary on which address you would donate to. That is why, before you donate any proceeds to a charitable cause, make sure that the details are 101% accurate so that your cause will not be lost.

The crypto community in this forum will definitely not donate anything, that I am sure of, besides being cheapskate, the community in this forum are skeptic of donations done through bitcoin or any cryptocurrencies for that matter because there's a lot of scammers out there willing to do anything and defile anything just to take advantage of the people.
