Ashton Kutcher made a surprise visit on Ellen yesterday. In his appearance, he was able to give Ellen's Wildlife Fund a $4 million donation in Ripple.
Please give the 6 minute video a watch.
This was great publicity for Ripple. Notice how easy it was to donate millions of dollars to a cause at the touch of a button. This really framed the capabilities of cryptocurrency in a positive light.
The Ripple people donated the $4 million which also looks very good for them.
We are not posting this video to highlight the actions of the Ripple community. What excites us is the idea that, on national television, we just witnessed cryptocurrency for giving. Ellen is a very popular show with millions of viewers tuning in. We are very encouraged about the idea of giving cryptocurrency to causes that are in need of assistance.
Imagine if there was a cryptocurrency specifically designed for that purpose. What kind of impact would that have? Do you think it would be supported around the world?
What if we had a cryptocurrency that, instead of being given out to organizations, it was given directly to people? In that situation, people would be free to choose who they gave to. Under this idea, people who needed the money could spend it as they on basic necessities while those who were in a position to give could opt for whatever caused they liked. Would this concept have any merit?
Going one step further, what if the money was given by a blockchain as opposed to the desires of a few individuals? We could actually set up regular intervals where money is distributed to individuals who then could opt to have it forward to organizations of choice?
We know that Ashton Kutcher uses cryptocurrency to give. Would anyone else? Is it possible to set up an entire community based around giving and fund it entirely through cryptocurrency?
This is an idea that might have some merit.
Oh wait, what were we thinking. This already is being established. We have a website, blockchian, and cryptocurrency.
We might not have Ashton Kutcher but we have Manna.

Inspiring stuff. Giving is the new economy :)
It is great to see how little by little, media is showing everyone how crypto is being introduced into our lives and how fantastic that is.
Those rich entities don't think the way we do,this world would be a better place if we could all spend cryptocurrency instead of dollar and other country currencies
This is very good publicity for crypto currency in general, it is amazing to see millions of dollars transferred at just the push of a button. Cryptos just like Manna are going to change lives, we are witnessing the start of a great wealth transfer from fiat to crypto.
