Antiwar.com accepts additional cryptocurrencies

The activist website Antiwar.com has announced this week to accept more cryptocurrencies as donations. To better protect the privacy of donors, three more cryptocurrencies will be added as a payment option to the platform, which aims to end the war.


Antiwar.com accepts Bitcoin Cash, Dash and Zcash


Antiwar.com has been working to spread peace and end military conflicts since 1995. Since 2012, the charitable association Bitcoin accepted. Now three more cryptocurrencies are to be accepted as a donation. Also payments in Bitcoin Cash, Zcash and Dash are now possible.

This was announced by the organization on the same day as their new "Armistice 2017" project. Armistice Day is the original name of today's Veterans Day in the United States. Today's holiday on November 11 is in honour of all veterans, while the former Armistice Day celebrates the end of the First World War. Donations help the organization to spread the peaceful message.

By adding more cryptocurrencies, "the privacy of the donors" is to be secured. "We take the protection of our donors very seriously," said the manager Angela Keaton.

"When Antiwar.com started accepting Bitcoin five years ago, we recognized their former privacy features and low transaction costs. Now cryptocurrencies have evolved and we want to take advantage of tokens for even more security and privacy. "


Precautions to protect donors from the government


Keaton firmly believes that the number of followers will continue to grow. However, she also fears that governments will keep a strong eye on the anti-war movement. Cryptocurrencies provide another layer of protection when users voice their opinion, which is not in line with the status quo.

"We have recently noticed that our standpoint of noninterference and our rejection of US foreign policy has made us the target of wide-ranging state surveillance," Keaton said. "We do not want that to affect our donors."

"What we do is constitutionally protected, but in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, it seems necessary to take further security measures to protect our supporters from the government. We chose these three cryptocurrencies because they offer enhanced security and privacy features, and we look forward to adding them as a donation option. "


Cryptocurrencies against unjust wars


The non-profit organization offers a magazine and other helpful tools on its website. Keaton stated that the additional donation options will help end wars. Bitcoin would have already done its part. The cryptocurrency has helped spread the organization's message and connects with other organizations (such as Bitcoin Not Bombs and Freeross.org).
