Antiwar.com<\/a>\u00a0Now Accepts Bitcoin Cash, Dash, and Zcash for Donations<\/h2>\n

\"Antiwar.comAntiwar.com<\/a>\u00a0is an activist website initiated in 1995 dedicated to promoting freedom and ending the military-industrial complex. The nonprofit is a recognized 501(c)3 organization and was one of the earliest known charities to accept bitcoin donations back in 2012. This week Antiwar has announced it will be expanding its acceptance of digital assets and will now accept\u00a0bitcoin cash<\/a>, zcash, and dash.<\/p>\n

The acceptance of the three new cryptocurrencies was announced on the same day as the nonprofit\u2019s\u00a0Armistice 2017 project<\/a>. \u2018Armistice Day\u2019 was the original name for Veteran\u2019s Day and focused on the celebration of peace. General donations help the group promote the pro-peace movement\u2019s message on this day by asking people to recognize peace instead of war.<\/p>\n

The advocacy group and war reporting news organization\u2019s move to allow more cryptocurrencies was planned to \u201cfurther enhance donor privacy and protection from big brother\u2019s prying eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe take the protection our donors\u2019 privacy very seriously,\u201d the nonprofit organization\u2019s executive director,\u00a0Angela Keaton<\/a>\u00a0told\u00a0news.Bitcoin.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

Antiwar.com<\/a>\u00a0adopted Bitcoin usage five years ago, recognizing its (then) enhanced privacy features and low transaction costs. Now that digital currency in maturing, we want to take advantage of tokens that offer even greater security and privacy features. \u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Precautions to Protect\u00a0Antiwar.com<\/a>\u00a0Supporters from Government Overreach<\/h2>\n

Ms. Keaton believes the\u00a0non-interventionist<\/a>\u00a0ideology is growing, but governments are monitoring individuals and groups who support the movement against war. Cryptocurrencies add a layer of privacy where users can promote ideas that are considered controversial to the current status quo.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe became aware, some time ago, that our non-interventionist stance and dissent on U.S. foreign policy had made us a target of increased government monitoring,\u201d Ms. Keaton explained to\u00a0news.Bitcoin.com<\/a>. \u201cWe don\u2019t want that to impact our supporters.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

What we do is constitutionally protected speech, yet in a post 9\/11 world we find it necessary to take additional precautions to protect our supporters from government overreach. We selected these three additional cryptocurrencies because of their enhanced security and privacy features and we are excited to add them to our donation capabilities.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Using Cryptocurrencies to Help End All the World\u2019s Unjust Wars<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bitcoin.com<\/a>\u00a0has pledged $20,000 in cryptocurrency towards\u00a0Antiwar.com<\/a>\u2019s efforts to spread peace and end war.<\/p>\n

The nonprofit organization aims to keep its online magazine and research tools available to all global inhabitants. Ms. Keaton tells\u00a0news.Bitcoin.com<\/a>\u00a0the additional digital assets will help forward the nonprofit\u2019s goals towards ending war. Since accepting bitcoin in 2012, the digital asset has helped\u00a0Antiwar.com<\/a>spread its message and has also allowed the group to work with other crypto-friendly activist organizations like\u00a0Bitcoin Not Bombs<\/a>, and\u00a0Freeross.org<\/a>. The folks at Antiwar are also vehemently against the drug war and believe it plagues society with its violence and victimless crime interventionism as well.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0Ms. Keaton told us in the past,\u00a0\u201dOnce people reject war, central banking, and the police state, they might learn to engage one other without relying on force and fraud.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
