THE ROLE OF BITCOIN IN EFFORTS TO HELP FLOOD AFFECTED COMMUNITIES

[Viscore]

This doesn't translate to Bitcoin helping flood victims, it's more like a philanthropist trading their Bitcoin to provide aid to those in need. A more direct example of Bitcoin playing a role would be if it was used in areas were bank accounts were being frozen and Bitcoin was the only means of circumventing government regulations.

Great job nonetheless. Acts of kindness such as this goes a long way to those who are in need and shows the good side of humanity.

Though this does not mean using bitcoin to help the victims directly, but the fact that bitcoin is the source of profits that enable to extend help and assistance to the flood victims, so it’s still good as bitcoin is helping the people indirectly. So great job OP. Continue to promote bitcoin by using bitcoin profits in all your undertakings.

If it weren't for bitcoin, maybe this charity work that my community (LEC) does would not have happened, regardless of the role bitcoin has indirectly helped them.

How is it possible, is all the budget collected mostly from bitcoin?
I'm just curious, but I could almost say no because it's likely just you donating your bitcoin earnings to other temporary pools in different way.
Of course there is role for bitcoin as you have to sell your bitcoin for fiat and donate it but I don't want to argue because basically I value your charity not your bitcoin.

But whatever it is, I really appreciate the advice and input from all of you, because this will encourage me to do other charitable activities.

I don't want to advise you on anything, but disagreements are possible. I think you are good at charity work, but try to avoid assuming that you are the only one making sacrifice while great honors also go out to your community. If I may say so, your community plays much bigger role than the fiat you contribute, but you don't have to say it. In addition, consider being more anonymous in your other activities by not mentioning your hometown and places of activity.

sorry for the disaster that hit your area,
the social behavior of the community with the disaster is very big but with bitcoin and being able to raise funds from it is a good idea, and a noble job

If bitcoin is the source of the fund that was used to finance this selfless gesture then directly or indirectly it is a plus to bitcoin. One of the easiest means of attracting people to anything is by giving. This kindness can even make the government to see bitcoin In a good light. This is because most government officials seems not to understand bitcoin and some even see it as a scam. But when a bitcoiner is engaging in such a selfless endeavor, it could paint a good picture that bitcoin has the capacity of empowering people. Thank your @Lizarder for this uncommon service. I hope some of these refugees that have access to phones can be introduced to basic bitcoin education.

[BlockMinusOne]

It is commendable that you are using your resources, including your bitcoin income, to help those in need during the flood disaster. Your actions demonstrate the power of community involvement and the importance of lending a helping hand during difficult times. Your effort to spread awareness and understanding of Bitcoin is also noteworthy. It is great that you are continuing to promote kindness and generosity through the use of technology. Keep up the good work!

This time the flood came again in the same place with a slightly worse percentage than the previous one, and it can be a very good charity for the people who still want to help. But this time it seems that there is no need to focus on more food, but try to focus on expanding the ditches or deepening existing ditches so that the paths that are often flowed with water are no longer full and clogged until they become large puddles.

Because this also needs to be seen and properly addressed by everyone, including the local government, so that the flood will not come for the third time in the same place. After all, after the floods, everyone has started to get busy clearing their land so they can return to their activities to earn a living, so this is another initiative besides distributing more food to them. Although it also would not be superfluous to do.

[suzanne5223]

I can see that some people have already interpreted this differently from being Bitcoin helping flood victims because it's actually a philanthropist trading their Bitcoin to help those in need in their local area, which is accurate because the image provided didn't show any indication that the help was provided using Bitcoin.

[famososMuertos]

There has always been this type of help from some forum users, hopefully these gestures that appear eventually,  it never end. Always there is a USers (forum) who may have an environment that deserves to help.

I think that as mentioned in some posts back, this is something of a good Samaritan, so entering "speech on bitcoin" only allows us to say with what currency these foods are paid for.

I think that the good thing about all this is to have an organization led by users who come from this same forum (why not?) and thus be able to channel donations to any part of the world in just minutes and receive them equally without bureaucracy.

Hopefully and channel with other people in your area a foundation based on donations that allow receiving bitcoin, as well as some day other users (of this forum) with such good concerns contact you and become a real non-profit network, with a intelligently managed and taking advantage of the benefits offered to guard bitcoin correctly.
It is not easy and surely trust is one of the main impediments due to past stories, but that should not question the good faith of those who can do it, you have to try.

[Bushdark]

This is an impressive effort to help the poor that those that are displaced in a situation like this where the government might not be available to help this people no might not have a food on there table. The community embrace this kind of generosity especially when it is directed to the needy that call for urgent assistance to carter for the normal basic amenities.

Your team had done a good job this would remain in the heart of those people you guys had impact love for humanity and care for others. If Bitcoin was transacted to hlwo this people, I would have appreciated that because it will boost the general outlook for people to keep using  Bitcoin on a regular basis.

[Dzwaafu11]

These is a nice job and it shows that bitcoin is legit and something we need to do, to help the people around us with other things there not capable of or to afford.
I believe these communities will enjoy effort.
If must of us will do these it will motivate people around us that doesn't believe with bitcoin to join the forum. So I good luck to you and your team for providing these charity to the people in the community

[alastantiger]

Kudos to the Op. I love reading, watching and listening to news of acts of kindness. You have put a smile on the victims of the food who may have given up on receiving any aid from the government. You have also achieved the goal of creating awareness for Bitcoin. So, you like they say, used one stone to kill two birds. My heart goes out to the flood victims I hope they are safe. You can crowdfund with your friends on your next Bitcoin relief project so that the financial weight will not be heavy for you .

[Frankolala]

You have a good heart and I appreciate your generosity towards the flood victim with funds from your campaign. This is a good thing that you have done and I know what it takes to do this. You could have done something else with the money but you did what gives you joy,which is humanitarian service.

You will not regret your actions of showing love and care to people within you locality,this is an open door to more opportunities in your life. Assuming most people have this kind of good heart to assist the people in need,I guess that the world will be a better place than it is presently. The knowledge of bitcoin has helped you achieved this. I hope that you told them that bitcoin was the key to all those stuffs

Kuddos OP.

"I answer from the income I get so far in bitcoin".

You have done a good job and He got two benefits from his one job. First you showed your humanity and second you instilled the value of BTC in their hearts. Same type of 7 days  heavy continuously rain cause heavy flood in our country and Mr Irfan had taken step to open Fundraising thread in services section. One user donated 0.25 BTC alone. You can also talk with your country local board Reputed member to do so. Here are the Details

At least this effort has influenced some people who have never heard of bitcoin before and now many people who used to not believe in the bitcoin investment that I did, have consciously acknowledged the truth that I once conveyed.

To appreciate the great work created by Satoshi Nakamoto, I will continue to be committed to spreading the good values of bitcoin, even though the impact is not yet widespread in the area where I live, I will continue to do this with the LEC community and also do not rule out collaborating with the community others in our area.

This is good step toward spreading decentralized system toward the world. Donation to Ukraine in the form of BTC was historical help from all over the world and did lot of job but still we need to spread the value of BTC in our backwards area. You can start small teaching class for Young generation because we have seen much spirit in young generation. If they learn well then obviously they will make your work easily and you will easily achieve your goal.

In my years of existence in the forum, I have always read inspiring stories like this and that give credits to bitcoin or the crypto market itself because without it, these good samaritans can no longer help since they have no funds to provide for it. And maybe if a good foundation can be made out of those good samaritans who are willing to donate, well that will promote the crypto community itself and will be an eye opener to everyone that there are reliable sources of profits in crypto which will only attained also if you put your heart on it and will work on it progressively.

There are really people who are really that mindful and really that be in concern on others condition and if ever they do have the money then they would really be tending to make out donations.
It doesnt matter if it in form of crypto/Bitcoin or would be in fiat which it wont really matter as long it does really help out people who are really that in indeed.It is really just good to look
at on how Bitcoin do really takes it part when it comes to donation or something which it do give out that full accessibility and full transparency on where those funds been accumulate.
For personal actions that had been made then passing up coins to wallet to wallet is never been hard.

However, this charity activity does not aim to prove legitimate or bitcoin is fraud, I mean this approach is carried out only in the form of a charity movement driven by bitcoin indirectly, so that any assumptions from people about bitcoin will slowly change. It's quite impactful and I'm seeing some changes from my close people and friends at the moment.

Snip

And it is true that the money collected from this charity comes from bitcoin, because I do this personally from the trading results that I do in bitcoin and I deliberately do not mention numbers implicitly to avoid any unwanted friction. This role is carried out jointly, because if I do it alone it will certainly not work, therefore I am always grateful to my fellow volunteers (LEC).

Snip

I have also seen the donation thread created by irfan_pak10 in 2022, and it has even been translated into other languages and published on several local boards, but so far I have no intention of opening a donation thread, because to be honest I am still quite busy with work, we are still focus on non-formal education that we have worked on with community friends (LEC).

But who knows what I will do in the future, if indeed there is an opportunity to distribute the good will of some friends in this forum. Who knows?
Personally, we really appreciate the advice and input that friends have provided, this is an encouragement for us to carry out other charity activities on other occasions and of course we will consider suggestions and input regarding a number of matters. Thank you so much to all of you, our love and affection to all of you.

You have done really well mate, a big congratulations to you, the initiative you've taken up is a good one and one that would go without you reaping a good reward for your labor and generosity to humanity, it is often said that the best service is not the service unto self but unto other people.
Personally, you deserve to be celebrated  for not many have the heart to help, even though they have the money ..
So wish you and your community well, and pray that God will bless you and also keep everyone save, and also make such disaster away from happening again.

[landheer]

this is great news, and you are a kind person, because you have been willing to make donations to people affected by floods, and the money is from selling bitcoins. and hopefully by introducing bitcoin to them they will realize that bitcoin is a valuable asset and can provide benefits for those who are interested in investing in it.

That's really nice of you helping the flood affected victims in your area with the revenue generated from your forum Bitcoin signature campaign, because that really shows you are a good person who do values and intends to spread the good news about the great work of Satoshi Nakamoto. It will only take a few persons to do what you just did, and on that note, I encourage you to continue, and never stop helping humanity the little way you can always do, because someday, you will surely ripe the reward of your good deeds.

Just wanting to bridge the gap between social care and others, this is done solely because of the encouragement of the social spirit that is inherent in us in the community (LEC). Bitcoin is only part of the media which does not directly touch these social values and it is hoped that negative thoughts about bitcoin will disappear by itself in society, if this kind of role continues to be played by many people to help others.

Snip

As far as we can do and can benefit the people who receive it, there have been many cases of disasters that have occurred in this world and the last thing we saw was the case of an earthquake that occurred in Turkey, social and community institutions have taken on a role to help, because it talks about humanity is everyone's social responsibility and can't be ignored just because we have nothing to help.

Hopefully the situation of our brothers and sisters in Turkey will get better and they will recover quickly after the trauma they experienced, their grief is also our collective sorrow as social beings.

Snip

Simple things are always fun to do, especially when it comes to humanity and the impact of disasters experienced by our brothers and sisters, but from that simplicity there are people who are willing to struggle to do it together, because doing it alone will seem more difficult. Luckily we have a Community that always cares about social values and they move on initiative not as coercion, so many activities have been successfully carried out with the community (LEC).
