I support this idea and am strongly convinced this is conceptually true.
But this did not happen on a mass scale. One boy in Gaza? Sure, that's great. The global π poor is in Africa, South-East-Asia, Central Asia, some regions in South America.
Enough case studies already. If hyperbitcoinization wants to happen, the mass adoption is long overdue.
We all wish we could speed up the adoption process. I don't have the answers, but maybe high profile special situations like the Venezuela earthquake and Gaza victims may bring attention to these donation opportunities. On the other hand, the Canadian trucker strike didn't seem to have a big carryover.

I don't. I think Underground-Bitcoin (#56336) has already achieved all of Bitcoins goals. Hyperbitcoinization is not necessary to achieve Bitcoins goals.
Woah! This article is about @Geyser! Very cool to see, @metamick quoted:
Michele said those community partners have already helped direct 12 million satoshis, worth approximately Β£5,600 at the time of publication, to projects in their own communities. That is equivalent to 0.12 bitcoin, since 100 million satoshis make up one bitcoin. He acknowledged that the model is still new and the available data remains limited.
Bitcoin allows funds to move across borders without a platform holding them or a beneficiary passing them on. Risks around wallet security, access and exchange rates remain.
"Traditional crowdfunding platforms are regulated and because they move money across borders they have to comply with anti-money laundering rules and sanctions," he explained. "The problem is that those rules often end up affecting legitimate opposition groups, legitimate non-profits and ordinary people, rather than only the governments they were intended to target."
It personally inspired some zapping. I'm not as familiar with Agora. I'm pretty sure it's unrelated to our Agora. I couldn't seem to find a direct Geyser Gaza project on the site?
I like that the article doesn't claim Bitcoin is a perfect solution. It's simply another way to help people when the traditional system can't reach them.

I can understand the point of view in your old post too. Probably more than I used to.
As much as I like the hopium, I wouldn't necessarily believe a Gaza/Venezuela/Bitcoin story without a lot of first-hand reporting.
Bitcoin makes it very easy to transfer from one person to another, but converting the bitcoin to actual cash/resources is another matter.
more pain & suffering is necessary, the world is not ready to embrace the proper bitcoin-lightning technology en masse;

hell, it's hard to even get people to take the black glasses off wen speaking face-2-face;

Awesome article!! Here is Sami's new campaign on Agora, where people can donate directly with Bitcoin:

Thanks for posting this. Just glancing at it, do they accept lightning donations too?
