Please don't remove this to Meta or Alt-currency. This is not just about Dogecoin, but about CryptoCurrency in general. This story demonstrates the sustainability and functionality of Cryptocurrency. It demonstrates a perfect example to the Bitcoin haters why cryptocurrency is the future of payments.
Yesterday someone sent approximately $14,000 via Twitter to Doges4Water, a fundraiser to build 2 wells in drought stricken Kenya. That transfer cost the sender about $0.01 and occurred almost instantaneously because it was done with cryptocurrency. How much would it have cost if that donor used their credit card, western union, SEPA, etc. and how how long would it have taken? This is a excellent example to the Bitcoin haters of how efficient cryptocurrency is.

So how is that nonsense bitcoin-related? Seriously,
your scam is dead, move on.
Your vitriol blinds you to the issue here. This ISN'T about Dogecoin. Yes, yesterday's transaction involved Dogecoin, but the BIGGER picture, which your emotions make you blind to, is that this is about crypto in general. Because yesterday it was Dogecoin, but tomorrow it can be Bitcoin or any other crypto. The point is: the speed and efficiency of cryptocurrency and the reduced cost of the transaction.
