“We need to relate and provide products to future generations to continue to tackle the global hunger crisis but at the same time make the products engaging and interactive,” says Shawn Kurz.

The use of cryptocurrency by Ukrainians is an effort to fight back against Russian troops positioned in their country. A blockchain analytics firm Elliptic revealed that Ukrainian crowdfunding had increased 900% since 2021, with most donations coming from within Ukraine itself rather than externally like before when it was funded mainly by other countries or organizations who saw what they called “a crisis.” Related Reading | Ukraine Adopts New Law To Legalize Bitcoin And Other Cryptocurrencies These groups have seen a significant rise in cryptocurrency funding thanks to Bitcoin. As a result, digital currency is becoming an alternative channel for donors, despite restrictions imposed by traditional financial systems.  Bitcoin allows people worldwide to make connections and create change that lasts far beyond anyone’s donations – crypto contributions can now harness this power. In 2021, non-government organizations and volunteer groups received more than $500,000 worth of Bitcoin as crowdfunding. This marked a 900% increase from 2020.  Since the Ukrainian military was effectively crumbling against the Russian invasion, many citizens have taken up arms to fight. They are called “volunteer groups.” They get funding from private donations. Ukrainian Fundraising Campaigns Receive Crypto Funding  In the modern era, cryptocurrencies are becoming more popular as funding for fundraising campaigns. Elliptic’s study shows that digital currency users can contribute to these types of organizations and receive payment from them more effortlessly than ever before without having any interference or problems with cross-border payments, which makes it very attractive, among other things too. With the potential of their payments being denied, private donors have turned away from bank wires and app payment systems in favor of Bitcoin. Some fundraising campaigns have had accounts closed before due to financial institution restrictions on certain funds raised through that particular means. Relatively new to this type of donation process. Still, it’s becoming more popular among those seeking alternative ways to donate money.

Cybersecurity organizations have been receiving funding via cryptocurrencies for years now. One such organization is the Ukrainian Cyber Alliance. The group primarily carries out cyber operations against Russia-based hackers and propaganda disseminators. The organization get help from its supporters worldwide through Bitcoin donations or Litecoin mining ventures. They’ve received almost $100 thousand in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to fund their operations against Russia last year. 10,000 Russian Troops Massacred Near Border With Ukraine The recent increase in military deployment near the border between Russia and Ukraine has residents on edge. Russia had stationed more than 10 thousand troops near eastern Donbas since last year when the conflict began following the Maidan revolution. To date, more than 6000 people, including soldiers, have died due to violence. Both sides blame each other for these deaths. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

A global philanthropic community is seeing rapid-fire growth across the world as members unite to bring about change in the world. The community was initiated by Philcoin – an award-winning philanthropic movement in the blockchain bridging the gap between philanthropy and technology. Philcoin was awarded Social Impact Project of the Year 2021 at AIBC in Malta.

Just days away from its official launch in February 2022, Philcoin's mission has spread further and faster than ever imagined. Philcoin's CEO, Jerry Lopez, said, “I am blown away by the community's support. We've been inundated with messages from around the world – from Asia to Latin America, Africa to Europe – from people who want to know how they can get involved. Our team is working around the clock, finalizing partnerships with incredible charities who share the same values we do, and our tech team is putting the finishing touches on our app that will connect the world to those in need.” 

Philcoin is the official cryptocurrency partner of the SDG Impact Fund and together they will be achieving the UN'S 17 Sustainable Development Goals. To explain the problems the partnership will be solving, Tony Suber, Executive Chairman of SDG Impact Fund says, “Imagine a humanitarian crisis happens in the world – a typhoon, drought, earthquake, pandemic or war – how would you be able to help from a different part of the world? There's no easy way to donate in an emergency, no single platform that exists for the sole purpose of helping those in need on a global scale and certainly not in the crypto space. This is the gap Philcoin and the SDG Impact Fund are looking to fill, together.”

The past two years have had a monumental impact on the world, its people and resources. With the pandemic slowly abating, we are seeing an escalation in natural disasters and fluke storms devastating communities around the world. Now, more than ever, people need a way to support the causes and charities they are most passionate about. They need a space where not only is it easy to give back, but the funds are able to reach those in need quickly and efficiently. Philcoin will provide a space on its website, app and social channels for people to donate at the click of a button.

Over the last few months, Philcoin has created a robust network through its social channels and app downloads. Join the movement today and visit linktree.com/philcoin

About Philcoin:

Philcoin is an award-winning philanthropic movement in the blockchain whose purpose is to establish a global interactive ecosystem where the daily use of IOT “Internet of Things” (social media, television, means of communication) become a rail where people can earn while they use the products and services. 

Given our history of humanitarian support and endeavors, Philcoin's purpose is to GIVE BACK while people transact in BLOCKCHAIN. 

Philcoin's vision is to create the largest community of philanthropists around the world in a time and age where over 1.7B people are unbanked, over 55% of people in the USA alone cannot read a book at an 8th grade level, and where giving back has been ignored as a global initiative in the blockchain space. A space where billions of dollars have been directed to projects without a purpose. 

Philcoin's mission is to help people build a digital economy while chatting, watching television, playing video games, getting educated and shopping. As well as using our philanthropic partnerships which allows everyone an equal opportunity in generating digital wealth, Philcoin uses Smart contracts which demonstrate a high level of a transparency, and a user-friendly environment, whilst fulfilling the purpose of the 17 SDGs and every humanitarian support in our ecosystem.

Earlier this month, The Water Project organization received a $30,000 gift to construct a fresh water well at the Lutali Primary School in Kenya. In the United States, nearly half a million meals were provided to children in need because of a contribution made to the group No Kid Hungry. A children's hospital site in Cambodia was funded entirely by a $50,000 cryptocurrency donation to the healthcare crowdfunding organization Watsi, Inc.

Saint Inu: The Cryptocurrency that Keeps on Giving

All of this was made possible by a rather surprising donor.

The benefactor of these donations is a cryptocurrency project called Saint Inu that was created less than a month ago. In just that short period of time, the project has already donated upwards of $300,000 worth of cryptocurrency to charities and non-profits around the world through their Charity Platform.

The newly formed Saint Inu project has started to turn heads in both the Charity and Cryptocurrency space with their jaw dropping generosity. The team has a token that gives a percentage of each transaction towards donations to charities and the token holders, however, the team says that this is "simply just the beginning".

The Saint Inu Development Team is working to reimagine how we envision donating to charity. The project is developing and launching a first of its kind "Play to Donate" (P2D) gaming platform called the SIGMA Platform (Saint Inu Gaming and Metaverse Arcade Platform). This launchpad will allow its users to earn cryptocurrency on behalf of their favorite charities by simply playing the games on the platform.

The "Play to Earn" (P2E) model has already proven to be successful in the crypto industry with P2E games such as Axie Infinity and Decentraland garnering multi-billion-dollar evaluations. The Saint Inu team believes that the next major trend in the market will be P2D games that allow users to donate to causes simply by playing a game. According to the Lite Paper published last week, there will also be P2E games on the SIGMA Platform.

With several games scheduled to be released next year, the team is excited about the future of the SIGMA Platform. They believe the revenue generated from the upcoming games will allow them to regularly make 6-figure donations and disrupt the charity, cryptocurrency, and gaming industries.

In a space that can be so unforgiving, it's a nice change of pace to see a project that is doing so much good for others.
