 There are plenty. I personally don't donate to charities after working on behalf of Save The Children. Lot of charities are scams.  
 And crypto is perfect for scams!  
 Bitcoin and Crypto are not the same 😅. Bitcoin didn't have a shady illegal overseas ICO 😆 
 Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency. Where is this bullshit coming from?  
 The term crypto are usually reserved for altcoins but regardless of all that because are can breakdown to meaninglessness when its all about point of view. 
My two sats, There are scams everywhere. If money to be stolen, someone will con you out of it. Just ask my niggerian prince friend. I'm still waiting for my money back.  
 Redefining the OG term. That's so lame. It's short for cryptocurrency. Completely different from altcoin. Can we stop being retarded? 
 I would even say that MOST are scams 😭 which sucks 
 I like to think give a man a fish. He eats for a day. Teach how to fish and eats forever. The best spare change you can give someone is not monetary.  
 I like to give the man the fish directly instead of giving the fish to someone else and them beating the hungry man up w the fish being like “yeah that’s what you wanted, isn’t it?” While not letting him eat the fish. I feel like that’s how sooo many charities operate !! 
 I don’t enough about fishing to teach the man how to fish I guess haha 
 Nether did the first person to think to go fishing.  
 TRUE!!!! 🫨 
 In Canada all non profits 📈 have to post their breakdown of their spending in a simple format lol. Don't don't hide that 30%+ of your donation goes to fundraising companies and 20% goes to administrative and board of directors. And then the rest goes to paying the staff to run the program + whatever supplies they are supplying. It's a scam. I've board of director member of save the children Canada and she was wearing the most expensive outfit with fancy necklace and earrings. I don't trust anymore, I verify baby 😏 
 Sounds like a vampire to me!!
