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 ?
Bitcoin isn't controlled by anyone so a plan to donate would need to be talked about by the community and only those who agree could join the said charity donation. I don't expect the majority to partake in that kind of session though. The community doesn't need to partake in charity to become famous since it's basically just a matter of time. And bitcoin won't be the one featured, it would most likely be the user who donated, or could be labeled as an anonymous donator.
There is always a good samaritan in every organization or industry. I am sure there are already community that had been doing this kind of good deeds. You can check this list of Bitcoin charity

The adoption rate of cryptocurrencies will increase in the next years.
More and more establishments will accept not just Bitcoin but other cryptos.
True, I can see exponential growth of Bitcoin community in the coming years.
