Bitcoin Not Bombs

Antiwar.com adopted Bitcoin for donations in November 2012. The staff was skeptical about using a new type of internet currency at first, but a payment system that enabled transactions across national borders without permission and outside the fiat banking system proved irresistible. There was a learning curve, of course, as with any technology. Nonetheless, a currency that took power away from the State's capacity to fund wars and prop up dictators resonated soundly with the organization's mission of building a world free from violence. Ten years later, despite Bitcoin's volatility, AntiWar.com still enthusiastically accepts Bitcoin donations of any size and has added BitcoinCash, Monero, and zCash to their donation page.
