Im already micro donating daily trying to spread bitcoin adoption with changetip, this looks like a great cause though thanks for setting it up!

[ScryptAsic]

I would be careful with these kinds of sites as there is a very high chance that these kinds of websites could direct you to send bitcoin to a address/site that is not connected to the actual charity.

Is this a random made up date? Why can't every day be a bitcoin giving day?

I totally agree with you ..Every Day is anew day for donations

Could somebody who is not a new user confirm, if this is legit?

No "https", no charity registration/physical address shown, briefly checked bitcoin foundation events/blog - nothing there...

There's some IRS paperwork pdf on their website, but no idea whether legit or not.

Edit: the OP's account was registered in Dec 2013 and the posts are fairly consistent.

How about bitcoin giving Wednesday?

I accept presents and bitcoin, I am not fussy.

Yes  and yes!  totally legit.  these forums are difficult I guess to show that, but we are out in the world showing our face and doing good work on the daily - zero to hide here.  IRS approved.

We are legit.  IRS approved, doing good on the daily.  Working so hard we don't sleep  

There is a press release here on the Bitcoin Foundation website - https://bitcoinfoundation.org/press/

There are multiple mentions in press releases from BitPay.

There is a link on the Bitcoin Black Friday site.

Another press release is coming out today.

There is also this article - https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/bitcoin-enables-micro-giving-giving-tuesday/

It's great to have something like this, but I have never heard of this site.

How do we know that the donated coins are actually used for charities?

I'll do some more research and if I'm sure this is legit I will make a donation.

I totally agree with you ..Every Day is anew day for donations

Yes, every day can be giving bitcoin day, of course!

We are taking advantage of an international event Giving Tuesday and offering a Bitcoin alternative!  It's about raising awareness and getting the mainstream population to see the benefits of Bitcoin and charitable giving

These forums crack me up about everyone being suspect of everything.  Doing your due diligence is definitely required, but I have to ask, what is it that you need to feel an organization is "legit?"

I am genuinely interested.  We have a website, our IRS paperwork up, I regularly make public appearances, I have a public twitter account, etc. etc.

I will try my best to contribute to this wonderful plan, thank you.

Thank you!
