In 2021, the market cap of crypto grew by $2 trillion. Americans are the most generous people in the world -- giving away 1.4% of annual GDP. Even giving away .14% of our crypto to charity would result in an additional $2.8B for important causes!
The problem: most nonprofits can't accept crypto donations (yet). Solution: Crypto for Charity! Response: Since launching the product on Giving Tuesday (not even 3 weeks ago), we got 93 nonprofits requesting to be added to the list, and this is despite the fact of having some 55,000 biggest 501(c) organization in the US already preloaded on the website.
We invite you to test and please let us know your thoughts!
Thanks to @patrick_w_schmitt and the entire team for "making it easy to change the world."
I also thank ?makers for "buidling" this crypto use case.
This is the first use of crypto-related tech I have seen that seems focused on care for others and not raw, materialistic greed.
I think I this product would be even more compelling if the ?makers paired with https://ioby.org for the greatest positive social impact. (Not sure if IOBY community projects are currently eligible for donations from this platform.)
I have to say, however, that if I used this product I would simply be buying crypto in order to turn it into USD again, so I don’t think this is useful for me right now. I like the mission though.
