Bitcoin: how the charity RNLI is using the digital currency
Why did RNLI decide to use Bitcoins?
The idea came from our research into future trends and changes that may impact on the RNLI. Basically, it looked likely that we would receive digital currency as a donation and/or as part of a legacy at some point and we wanted to be prepared for that eventuality. While researching, we became aware that using Bitcoin could expose the RNLI to new audiences.

Over Labor Day weekend, the same subreddit that helped disseminate a
cache of nude celebrity photographs tried to organize an online
fundraiser "in honor of" Jennifer Lawrence, one of the actresses
victimized by the leak. One problem: The charity for which the money was
raised, the Prostate Cancer Foundation, didn’t want it. Neither did the backup nonprofit, Water.org.
