A Zionist operation serving Israeli interests at expense of its own profit.

I guess israel is more important than making money, not very shareholder focused of this company

GoFundMe supports genocide.

Or, you know, you could just, like, use Monero.

Lol.

This is the kind stuff that makes me sceptical about the intentions of public crypto promoters.

I also love the "crypto is great for remittances!11!!" that is often spammed by those looking to dump their bags.

So you're saying it's better to ask permission from a service like GoFundMe than to just send the person unstoppable digital cash without having to ask any permission from anybody whatsoever?

Edit: Didn't see your second bit. The only bags I want to dump are my Fiat bags. If you want my fiat bags, you're perfectly welcome to them.

Where I did mention asking permission from GoFundMe?

"Unstoppable digital cash"

Don't play dumb my man. Don't pretend you're incapable of understanding why your "Monero to Gaza!" is an extremely stupid idea.

Honestly, I got to screenshot this, "Monero for Gaza!" is sort of funny in a black comedy kind of way.

Permission is being sought because they are removing fundraisers and in order to get them back you're having to beg for them to be brought back.

[–] Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

OK? What's that got to do with what I said?

I said your "Monero for Gaza!" is a fucking stupid idea. And you almost certainly don't care about Gaza and you're just trying to find marks to potentially increase the value of your bags.

You're not going to admit this, but we both know it's true.

Why play dumb and act as if this is my first time on the internet?

[–] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip -2 points 2 days ago

It's a way of doing fundraising without having to ask for permission.

Monero is def the way to go for censorship resistance, impossible to block those transactions unlike bitcoin where every movment is tracked on the blockchain.
