Tampa/St Pete are near and dear to my heart having lived there for many years, so seeing two Hurricanes come through and fuck a lot of stuff up these last few days, I haven't slept all that well. Sure I care about the people struggling, but as an animal lover, I think about all the feral and stray cats and dogs. There is no where else in the US where it's a worse problem.
This area is also an ambassador of bitcoin.. In 2014 bitpay scored the naming rights for the local bowl game (often the Gasparilla Bowl or simply St Petersburg Bowl) the 2014 ESPN Bitpay Bitcoin Bowl Game ( https://www.inverse.com/article/39766-bitcoin-bowl-college-football-cryptocurrency-st-petersburg ). I had just learned about bitcoin around this time. In 2014 only weirdos like us knew about bitcoin and everyone thought it was a scam, mostly ( I got a lot of shit at Raymond James where I worked from all the traders/investment experts..as they saw me reading Mastering BTC). Bitpay didn't just host the game, they went around the stadium to local businesses (like the famous Fergs Sports bar) and taught them about bitcoin, as well as set them up to be able to accept payments in btc for that "game week". I remember going to Fergs months later and the front door had the "BTC accepted here" sticker. I paid for my and my dates dinner w/bitcoin and she was so confused and wasn't sure if I had paid for dinner at all when we left lol.
Anyways Tampa is a second home for me. I found out about bitcoin while living there in an odd way. I was going at SeaWorld hard at the time, a very cruel prison for Orcas, and read about these "Anonymous" hackers who were as well, and the article somehow mentioned they accepted btc payments to help them. Whats Anonymous? whats Bitcoin? I remember thinking. That lead me to the Anonymous Mint BTC/Anonymous man/silk road copper coins, my first collectible. Shortly after I found this Kialara thingy and Cas something I couldn't pronounce. Emailed both creators immediately as I was blown away as a coin collector and newly btc advocate. Mike actually emailed me back (saying check ebay, smh) then I heard from Kialara who sold me a few bars and told me about a cool forum where you could buy these collectible things...bitcointalk.
Today I'm still fighting for animals, I love bitcoin and collectibles like the rest of you, I'm a huge supporter of black hats, hence my known love for Mr Robot, Kialara became a good friend, and the rest is history. Sorry for the novel, but I felt sharing all this was kinda important.
I also was taking care of 3 feral cats at the time. I had my small baby girl dog who'd get destroyed by a cat so I couldn't adopt as they were just a tad too old/big (Roxy my pup was 4lbs). When I left FL I thought of them daily. I did leave food and money for them..hoping they lived a decent life. Now with this recent disaster many cats and dogs without homes are really struggling and filling up shelters like crazy. I want to help them!
My goal: raise money to help shelters. Best Friends Animal Society accepts btc directly ! - https://bestfriends.org/stories/features/helping-hands-pets-2-florida-shelters
I am caring for 2 ferals at my house rn, and it's really inspired me. I can't help but think of the 3 kitties I once cared for (seen below) and what they'd be going through rn.
Want to help? Bid or donate items..or just plz share the thread.
Google to see the damage. Also google Tropicana Stadium where the btc bowl was played, see how it's doing (honestly, worst stadium in US pro sports, so mehh)
Lot 1- this lot is not for bidding. The coin is going to the winner of my btc pumpkin carving contest, but I'm peeling the .01 as my initial donation, just an FYI and shameless plug of my contest https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5512198.0

Lot 4: Your kids going to be a pirate for Halloween ? Included are a 2oz Ag High Relief Privateer Series (extremely popular) Pirate Ship coin, bunch of plastic btc coins, so pirate booty in silver pieces 4.5oz Ag in total. Then MrHodl coins I peeled. More booty, your kids wont know they are tainted at least.. I've also got a pirate hat/bandana , eye patch and sword somewhere I'm going to include (My Gasparilla outfit..google Gaspirilla parade and you'll understand lol)
Every lot also comes with one of my very first coin, which I bought 3 tubes of, legit anon mint, not chinese fake copper bs:
