Spread Love with Bitcoin

[yudi09]

This world is inhabited by many religious adherents who do not look at skin color. The beauty of the world when all believers from various backgrounds and from various skin colors respect and protect each other and share with each other will find love.

Currently Muslims are fulfilling an obligation to fast in Ramadan in ways that may vary from one country to another.
How happy it would be if all of us from all over the world who were involved in Bitcoin activity were willing to campaign or socialize a form of love at a moment like this.



If I personally give a small amount of Bitcoin which I convert into fiat (26 Maret 2023) and give it to a mosque as provisions for breaking the fast together, there may be other religious leaders with their congregations who will provide provisions by distributing them to residents crossing the main road as shown in this picture.



There is no intention to force, but what I do is a form of love from someone who loves Bitcoin to them through Bitcoin. If there are friends who are willing to carry out this form of activity or in their own way, the documentation can be shared here. If this is during the Ramadan Kareem moment, we can also do it at other moments full of love on other occasions.

*If in the picture there are similarities in places, people and designs that are purely the same, it is not an intentional element.

Good job @OP for being kind with the others, but there's a thing I think you must do for the next time, it's about permissions.

You're saying you give your Bitcoin to a mosque and it's used to break fast with the other peoples, but you're forget to let them know if the original source of the money is come from Bitcoin. Bitcoin is haram for Muslims even though you're use it for good, I pretty aware there's a discussion if Bitcoin could be halal, depends on your perspective. But most people still think Bitcoin is haram and they will refuse any money or gift if it's related with Bitcoin.

[Outhue]

You still use Fiat, what are you trying to achieve here? You are simply helping people with Fiat nothing more, it only makes sense if those you are helping are accepting Bitcoin from you directly, I will even have more interest in this because it's not just about the "helping" part but you are also promoting Bitcoin.

Even if they don't have time to do research about what Bitcoin is, you have simply created a chance of curiosity in the minds of the receivers, they can ask later what Bitcoin is all about.

But I get you, how will they even sell their Bitcoin for Fiat when they don't know what it is all about, but another thing is they do have children at home, and educated children will dig into the curiosity more, wanting to know how to turn Bitcoin into money.

Anyway, you did what you could, Bless You.

Well, you might have a point on that. I mean the time of Ramadan is a time to reflect, commune and also give good gifts and I think the Op's intentions are good.
 If you look at this from a Sharia legal point of view, crypto and in this case Bitcoin can be a permissible gift since there's no specific prohibition for issuance and transaction embedded in the Quran. So, it could still be a worthy gift, even if it were converted to fiat.

This is what I will say to the op, nice job for spreading love to our Muslim brothers and sisters during this period of Ramadan and thanks for doing so with the funds you get from your bitcoin but I have few questions to ask so I can really understand you clearly.

1) Going with the pictures shown below, how does this add to the promotion of bitcoin since there is nothing to show to the people that what you have done is coming from bitcoin.
I hope you don't find this insulting because am curious about what you have done knowing that you can use this medium to promote bitcoin by teaching them few things about bitcoin and also doing the charity as you have done.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with you asking crucial questions about the spread of bitcoin. The crowd needs the entire information that will yield profits into their pockets with full confidence of standing firmly. Donating bitcoin to the charity organizations for proper confirmation of growth, would strive further the solid earnings of the project. Bitcoin is very important to traders because it's a hugh benefits to them. Enlightened the minds of people who are unawared with the new project, by spreading more positive information about bitcoin.

This is a good thing, well done. Anywhere we find ourselves we should make it a habit of making positive impacts.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

That's really nice of you @ O.P for sparing out few BTC just to spread love during this season of love, armsgiving, joy and laughter, called Ramadan and Easter period celebrated all around the world by Muslims and Christians. Moreover, it only takes only someone with a good health to sacrifice for the benefit of others just like you intend doing. But from the look of the envelope, it creates no impart about Bitcoin, because whoever receives it will only see it as an ordinary fiat, of which I guess I think it would have been more better had you inscribe a written note on the envelope like this... "Donated from my profit made in Bitcoin"

I don’t think he will be able to do that because bitcoin is forbidden in Islam. Muslims are not allowed to invest in bitcoin and I don’t think the mosque would appreciate it if they found out the money came from bitcoin. As much as what OP intentions were pure and from his heart, there are people there who would be offended because it’s against their religious belief.

[ChiBitCTy]

If you look through my past posts, you will see that I've used this forum/bitcoin as a way to spread "love" , as you so speak.  I am very big in to charity and giving back to others, especially animals.  I've used bitcoin as a way to bring people together here several times having to do with animals and human charity.

My question here however is the money simply going to people in need, or is this only going to people "of faith"? Personally I don't believe in any one religion, and think there's better ways of going about helping others.

But, I'd like to understand better from you..

yes, I think it's possible that OP already understands the conditions that exist in his religion, so he doesn't openly display or show that the results of what OP did came from selling some of his Bitcoin assets.
as far as I know, in Islam and some religious leaders consider Bitcoin to be prohibited but there are also some who agree, I don't know if there are still many pros and cons in my opinion.
but apart from that the OP has done a good thing by giving up selling some of his Bitcoin to do good. it is a good thing that needs to be emulated so that we take advantage of what we have to do good to fellow human beings.
I salute to you OP for using Bitcoin for good, and by the way happy Ramadan fasting for OP and all people who are Muslim.

[D ltr]

appreciate your positive suggestion OP, I did this activity before Ramadan under the name Friday of Blessings, but I can't give an explanation of where I got the money, because in Islam btc is not recommended to invest for reasons that don't have a hadith.
all come back from the intention within just to seek blessings on our income,

[Pezroly]

If you want to spread the love with Bitcoins, you can send me some.

Exactly what I was thinking,
This is a bitcoin forum, everything done here should be to bring more adoption to bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general, if you make money in bitcoin, then sell the bitcoin to give the fiat gotten from the sale to charity, and also doing this with a mindset of promoting bitcoin/spreading love with bitcoin, it simply means that the main purpose of the charity wasn't realized in any way..

The best way would have been to approach the Muslim brother or sister, or the priest in charge it the mosque (what ever they are called), take time to explain what bitcoin is to them, then offer to create a bitcoin wallet for them, after doing so, then gift them some bitcoin and then also show them how they can convert it to fiat and withdraw the money to their own bank account if they want - this way, the message is perfected passed, they now know what bitcoin is and how it works..

Anyways, good initiative mate, a little adjustment will make this very perfect.

Ramadan is a month of peace and a holy month in which Muslims all over the world try to give as much as they can. You took pleasure in doing so during this holy month, and you also used it to promote bitcoin among the people there. The small contributions we make to the development and adoption of bitcoin will undoubtedly pave the way for greater recognition and acceptance; you've done your best, and the community appreciates it.

Different Muslim authorities hold opposing views on whether bitcoin is permissible in Islam. Everyone has their own opinion, but if they are used for other purposes such as usury, gambling, cheating, or other illegal practices, they are considered illegal. However, it is permissible for the storage of wealth and transaction processes, which was the primary goal of the invention of bitcoin.

[Cryptomiles1]

Op I suggest you should moved this topic to off-topic or even to politics & Society because looking down to your post I don't see any inputs or effects given to bitcoin in other to fast track the max adoption of bitcoin and it widespread to the Muslim or even to the ramadan. Please I mean no offense sir/ma

[landheer]

op you are a good person because you have given up a small portion of your bitcoin for the benefit of Muslims and this is a very extraordinary activity.

but in my opinion your op would be even better if you added food or drink packaging with a picture of bitcoin with the aim that people know and think what bitcoin is? and so that they know that what they eat is from the sale of bitcoins.

[Obari]

I'm a Christian but one thing I love about Muslims is the love they share and most times I wish I could be Muslim but I'm fine with Christianity.
I love your good work @Op and I love seeing people giving back to humanity no matter how little it could be because you never can tell how much impact the love your shared in form of gifts might do to the person.
I personally encourage you to keep up with this good works and I also have a charity foundation (not officially registered yet) but we also have alot of activities in our pocket list and we hope to achieve them, though it haven't been easy especially with fund raising since it's been funded by just me, we hope everything comes out successful.

[mvdheuvel1983]

In this forum, users have used their Bitcoin to get items for the needy, for school kids in rural communities, for the provision of clean drinking water in hard to reach communities in west Africa and many more. I personally love seeing these good gestures. It warms my heart because I wish I could do it if only I had the time. This is a time of sober reflection for both Muslims and Roman Catholics alike because of the great spiritual exercise they are carrying out.

What to eat after breaking the fast is something that I feel worries most of them especially those without any means. But this highly commendable gesture from the OP will go a long way in strengthening their faith. Thank you for the gift of Bitcoin and the sacrifice.

First of all I wish you a happy Ramadan and congratulations for the work you have done which is undoubtedly an admirable one. This initiative of yours is a different kind of initiative. By earning money through Bitcoin you are giving that money to poor and needy people. Many are spending days in misery due to lack of money in this month of Ramadan. Your help is very important to them. If everyone like you stood by the side of the poor and suffering people from their own capacity, then the suffering of those who are spending their days in misery due to lack of money would be removed at least a little. Let us all help the poor and needy people in this Ramadan from our own means.
