i think this seems "off" to a few people because the OP is throwing out numbers like 0.5btc($330)
or even 50btc($33,000) before he will get off his ass to make a video

not only do i not like the "Once we reach 50[$33k] Bitcoins - We will shoot a few videos of our interactions with the people at traffic lights"..
but also you wont give donors your personal emails unless they hand over 20btc($13k)

come on $33,000 for just "a few interactions"... and $13k to get a personal email.. sounds off!!

if the charitable cause is to feed a child. then dont ask for $330-$13k, instead ask for $0.50.(enough to feed atleast one child)

for instance seans outpost was a massive success. not because he asked for $33,000.. but instead he calculated the cost of one meal and promoted the donations as X would pay to feed X people.... XX would pay to feed XX people.
he received alots of funds combined. but this was because he was not asking for lots of funds combined.

for instance you said that your own $375 went to pay for 90 people..
so how about saying that
0.6btc can feed 90 people,
0.06btc can feed 9 kids
0.02btc can feed 3 kids

put it another way..
children selling balloons on "happy street" do not ask people to buy all the balloons in one go.. they sale each one individually until the total is reached.


Thank you very much for your comment. We should have done some more due diligence. The current cost of 1BTC shows as ~$647. That is amazing, but then screws up all our existing calculations. Lol, we sound so stupid asking for so much money!

We definitely don't need so much money. It's not only stupid, but annoying to see someone asking for that kind of money.

We'll do our research, and break up the costs as you suggested. We thought of doing that originally, but dropped the idea.

Thank you again.
