We have been through a rough ride but what's next for bitcoin ? It has survived some brutal sanctions which were implemented by regulators but still manages to flourish (sustain), but don't you think bitcoin can earn more reputation by doing something good for the community like donating for environment cause, could pledge to help Amazon rainforest to recover from the recent disaster which will create more bitcoin sympathizers. Don't you think bitcoin community needs to focus on world affair so that we can be a part of mainstream and recognized by people ?
This can only happen if bitcoin is a centralized entity and a part of tx fees can be allocated to some charities. But it is not. Even if rich bitcoin users donate to charity using bitcoin, the merit will not go to bitcoin but to the person who donated.
