For many people, cryptocurrencies and blockchain are associated with a financial side of life only. But using these technologies is also perspective for non-commercial projects. Thanks to the advantages of cryptocurrencies and blockchain, it can also be used in such field. Let’s consider some examples.
What’s the use of cryptocurrencies and blockchain in a non-commercial field?
It is known that non-commercial organizations (or nonprofits) don’t define getting profit as a main goal. Also, such organizations don’t distribute profit between members. Non-commercial organizations are created for reaching social, cultural, educational, political, scientific, charitable and other goals.
Nonprofits represent one of promising fields for using cryptocurrencies and blockchain. Many organizations from this field have already started to use it for different goals. Here are some examples.
Internet Archive. This project strives to archive and store a great number of movies, music, books, software, websites and other objects which can be found on the Internet. The Internet Archive accepts donations in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash and Zcash.
Humanity Road. This project provides resources and communication strategies in case of a disaster. Humanity Road accepts donations in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation. This project defends free speech, digital privacy and innovation. The Electronic Frontier Foundation accepts donations in Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash.
There are many other non-commercial organizations that use cryptocurrencies and blockchain. Shown examples just illustrate spreading these technologies in such field. Here are some reasons for such spreading:
- Transactions become faster, securer and more comfortable.
- The way of using donations becomes more clear, so people trust such organizations more.
- Cryptocurrency donations will be treated as not taxable income for your organization.
