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 ?
Some Bitcoin community already doing that, in fact there are so many donations website created using Bitcoin as their form of donation, although some of them are in a bad light, like Mavrodi's MMM version of donation, there are local Bitcoin community that's been doing that, in fact you can start your own campaign or anyone here.
