The Essentials

Although lots of individuals try to contribute what they have, Lucy Easthope, co-founder of the After Disaster Network and a global expert on disaster recovery, stated that cleaning out a closet isn’t very beneficial. She stated to BBC World News that:

“The most important, helpful thing at this moment is money. There are non-governmental organizations and charities and governmental organizations all powering-in now to help. What they need not just now, but for years ahead, is cash.”

Cryptocurrencies such as Finance Blocks ($FBX) are prime examples of mechanisms for cross border-payments without banks, perfectly fitting this description. Investing in FBX without being the victim of global money printing pandemic is a great way to sustain long-term wealth.

The worlds’ largest exchange, Binance, stated their intentions to base donations on Proof of Address forms submitted before February 6. Binance is the owner of CoinMarketCap.

Binance stated in its release that “in the wake of natural disasters, people frequently lose access to traditional banking at the exact moment when additional funds are needed to assist cover medical supplies, food, and other basic necessities.” Added was:

“Crypto transfers are now increasingly being used to deliver financial aid to disaster victims as they provide fast, low-cost, borderless and transparent transactions.”
