Turkey is facing a terrible earthquake disaster. Please don't withhold your support even a little. Ahbap is the leading civil society organization in Turkey. We have full confidence in this community. I must say that every member is at the earthquake sites.  Although support is not provided as a Bitcoin address for now, I would like to thank everyone who donated via Ethereum, Binance Chain and Avax C-Chain. Thanks in advance for everything bitcointalk forum members.

It's really heartbreaking to see that, I hope the other citizens which still alive will recovered very soon and they can back to their normal life, although it's need a time for sure.

I think it's worth to mention, if anyone want to donate their money to charity, it's better to follow the address of @OP post rather than looking to the other sites. Because there a lot criminals will open fake donation campaign, similar like fake Ukraine donation campaign in the last year.

This is one of the fake campaign, also don't believe if there's a newbie created shitcoin to support the donation campaign in Turkey, it's 100% scam.

This is touching, infact I am short of words right now because this disaster has swallow so many things from the turkey Land. Since the address details of the donation is here, I believe many people will definitely be part of this Donation to show love to those that loss their lives and love ones and prosperities.

First of all, my condolences for the death of innocent people due to the major disasters in Turkey and Syria. May those affected by the disaster be given strength, fortitude and health by God. For the OP, thank you, God bless you for opening a donation.

With donations like this, it can lighten the burden on the people who are being hit by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria. It Grows our sense of concern among humans.
Hopefully this donation is right on target for the affected victims and also the expected result is helping the earthquake victims.

The Avalanche Foundation has donated $1M in AVAX to the disaster relief efforts, organized by
@haluklevent , for the earthquake that has affected Turkey and Syria. We encourage others to join the effort.

Many places continue to donate. The total amount of donations made so far is around 2 million dollars. Thank you for the support.
Binance has decided to airdrop for people living in this region. They will send 100 dollars to the account of people in distress.
We are helping as much as we can. Many people are still unreachable and we are concerned about their health

condolences for the disaster that befell turkey.
since yesterday i got to know about this news from my friend's whatsapp story and i wanted to donate the little i have but yesterday i haven't found this thread.
is there a BTC address to make a donation? because my funds are currently in the form of bitcoin.
I agree if one of the trusted members of this forum create a special bitcoin address for turkish donations.

[Rigon]

It is a noble act to take such steps to help the people affected by the earthquake in Turkey. I thank you sincerely for this. I saw in newspapers and on television that there was a terrible earthquake in Turkey, it caused a lot of damage. Thousands of people died and buildings were destroyed. In such situations, each of us should lend a helping hand. Let us help what we can from our respective places. Maybe our little help can make a big benefit in times of need.

[skarais]

We also made a suggestion to open a Bitcoin wallet. If it's accepted, we will share that address here.

Given that many of the established members on the forum have bitcoin instead of altcoin, having bitcoin address as donation wallet is very wise decision. I hope it actually gets passed because eventually all those bitcoin can be converted to fiat or something.

By the way, My condolences to everyone affected by this tragedy and especially for our distant relatives in Turkey, it is an unexpected natural disaster and can happen anywhere. I wish all the families affected by this tragedy the strength and patience. Also thanks to @CLS63 for starting this thread. Hopefully all these donation funds really find people in need.

[flyingcarpet]

First of all I want to thank everyone who helped. We are deeply saddened to have experienced such a great event. There are thousands of people who cannot be reached. There are still thousands of uncontrollable debris. It is a very difficult situation for those who live there. The situation of the people living there is very bad and they need help. Non-governmental organizations and the state are trying to do everything they can. I wish all wounds to heal soon.

[naira]

Thanks for this thread OP

Any donation really helps our brothers who are there. Whether it's crypto or whatever, everyone is really contributing and can lighten their load. So far a few places have done fundraising, since day one and I can't send any help in crypto but we have raised some money and some needed medicine.


May the brethren there be given fortitude.

[Zanab247]

We can feel the pain of what you people are going through in turkey, and we have seen what the earthquake has caused in the city which will take turkey government a long time before they can recover from the losses. CLS63 you have done a great job, I believe people of turkey will surely feel the help of crypto and Bitcoin users.

[Lucius]

A terrible tragedy has struck Turkey and I can only say that I sympathize with the Turkish people and hope that help will reach all who need it as soon as possible. A few years ago, less powerful earthquakes also hit my country and caused great material damage, but what happened in Turkey is a terrible tragedy that can hardly be compared to anything else. What I know is that a special team of 40 people with tracking dogs has been sent from my country and that other countries are sending help.

I will gladly send my donation as soon as the BTC address is available🇹🇷

Given that many of the established members on the forum have bitcoin instead of altcoin, having bitcoin address as donation wallet is very wise decision. I hope it actually gets passed because eventually all those bitcoin can be converted to fiat or something.

In order to avoid any misunderstanding, the shared addresses are not under the control of any member of the forum, but belong to a non-governmental organization that we know and trust. Bitcoin cannot be collected at the moment because they don't setup a Bitcoin wallet. Unfortunately the legal aspect of that is a bit troublesome in our country, so it's difficult to collect money and exchange it to Turkish Lira individually.

[Mustang Shelby]

As one of those who experienced the earthquake closely, we continue to wait with real concern.  There were two earthquakes and their intensity was quite large.  In the earthquake geography of our Turkey, the loss of life caused by these earthquakes still upsets everyone.  I can not reach my close friend, we are waiting with concern.

[Nagin]

Our country is also donating one day salary of all government servant. We pray to Allah Almighty to protect us from calamities in the future

Guys, EFS explained the reason why we dont publish a btc address. If I were to publish a btc address for donations I would have to convert all donations into BUSD and transfer it to the addres in the opening post. I believe you can do the same transaction individually. It would be great to share screenshots of your donations to incentivize others. If anyone has other suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks @EFS for the explanation, I hope I and other users understand it.

I haven't followed much news about Turkey and its crypto regulations so far, but if regulations make it difficult to convert bitcoin to Lira individually, then other cryptos should be the same even if it's done by a non-governmental organization (CMIIW). But on the other hand, if they can convert altcoin like BNB or others to Lira, then they should be able to do it with bitcoin too. But of course it's hard to do it without permission because people probably won't break the rules, but I wish the best and this humanitarian donation goes well.

Great idea, may you or @EFS (another trusted user) can become an escrow for now so anyone can donate their bitcoin to charity.

I am sad to see what happened to Turkey due to the earthquake incident, many friends have sent videos about our concern for Turkish citizens who are still buried under the rubble of damaged buildings social media continues to spread the latest news and I can only pray for all of you who are affected The impact of this nature may be given strength by God.

Some of my friends have planned to collect donations with a foundation here and this will continue to move us towards the humanitarian concern that is happening in the country of Turkey.

We also hope that next week we can donate to the forum out of concern for our beloved country Turkey. ❤

May God continue to provide convenience to those of you who are affected.
