The Italian unit of the International Red Cross Organization announced that they have recently started receiving donations with Bitcoin (BTC). The main purpose of the Red Cross was explained as being able to purchase some of the medical supplies needed to fight Coronavirus cases.
Bitcoin Donation Campaign Successed
In the announcement by the Red Cross, it was stated that the amount needed was 10,000 Euros and it was stated that this goal was reached exactly three days later. Thanks to this BTC-based donation campaign, the Red Cross managed to collect donations not only from Italy but from all over the world, and in fact showed how cryptocurrencies can be used effectively in times of crisis.
The Red Cross has now begun accepting Bitcoin donations for a different purpose after the goal has been achieved. Stating that there is a great need for critical parts of oxygen devices, the authorities have set a target of 26,000 Euros.
With Bitcoin and XRP, you can trade up to 100 times leverage on Bitmex with a 10% commission discount.
Oxygen devices and capacitors are used directly for Coronavirus patients suffering from respiratory distress, and Italy is one of the countries with the highest number of deaths worldwide. It was stated that a donation of 20,000 dollars was made after the announcement of the donation campaign and this means a 75% success.
The Red Cross Organization in the Netherlands has also announced that it has started accepting Bitcoin donations after this success. Donations made by crypto money investors and this sensitive attitude towards epidemic disease can be an example to the whole world.
