Fundme.Cash: A Bitcoin Cash Alternative to GoFundMe (Support Roger Ver!)

By alberdioni8406 | The BCH Observer | 8 Dec 2024

Before we dive into the topic of today's article, I want to draw attention to an issue (in fact, a big trouble) faced by Roger Ver.

I believe most of you know Roger Ver from the crypto industry, the BCH or BTC community, or even from the internet, as he is a person who is always involved in campaigns concerning financial freedom and privacy. He is the first "known" investor in Bitcoin—yes, the one who saw in Bitcoin all his (and world) hopes for financial freedom.

He paid more than $100,000 in cash, on its early days, to American radio stations (also ads) to promote Bitcoin and opened his first business that accepted Bitcoin (and helped others do the same) as a means of payment while many were still unaware of its potential. He earned the nickname "Bitcoin Jesus" for all his contributions to the industry and his beliefs. However, everything started to go dark when he embraced Bitcoin Cash as the real Satoshi Nakamoto project. Many in the Bitcoin "maxi" world saw him as a traitor, but he was just following his beliefs—nothing more. Even today, he continues to be pursued for it.

Everyone has the right to express their opinion and do what they think is correct. Roger Ver followed his beliefs, and that isn’t a reason for the entire crypto community to turn against him. Let him have his own beliefs. Right now, we should help him stay away from jail by voting on his petition and ensuring that each one of us in the crypto community supports one another. When we lose this united movement, we fail.

We should follow the example of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies—they rise and fall together, and none act alone. So why should we act differently?

Entering into the topic of today’s article, we'll immerse ourselves in the smart contract capabilities of CASHTOKENs (once more) and talk about a very particular tool: Fundme.Cash! This tool is exciting as it reduces people's dependency on traditional crowdfunding platforms like GoFundMe.

Fundme.Cash is a decentralized platform fueled by Bitcoin Cash, and all campaigns are conducted with people pledging the currency at a whole new level using smart contract capabilities. Cashtokens make this possible, but how does the site really operate?

Users who want to conduct a campaign first need to get connected on the platform with a compatible wallet that operates on Cashtokens. These wallets are currently Zapit, Paytaca, or Cashonize. People need to keep in mind that the platform charges 0.01002 BCH to launch a campaign, including miner and smart contract fees. If the campaign gets funded and users claim it, there's a 1.5% fee charged by the platform.

I really like the interaction of the smart contract for pledging on the platform. Users who contribute to a campaign of their choice can get their money back if the campaign doesn’t get funded, using a very interesting mechanism. All pledgers send their BCH to the smart contract of their chosen campaign and, in turn, receive a pledgerNFT. This way, if the campaign doesn’t get funded, they can burn the pledgerNFT and get their BCH back—simple as that.

Creators of a crowdfunding campaign can launch one very easily, as the site provides all the necessary tools to simplify the process for users. On their private dashboard, there are options to create campaigns, set timeframes, upload images, and manage all the details required for a campaign to be deployed. However, it is important to read the FAQ and rules before proceeding. It’s also worth noting that this platform is still very early in the market, and the Bitcoin Cash community tends to support campaigns for people they know—there’s a certain logic to this. In the past (not too long ago), some people abused the community’s generosity, creating campaigns that didn’t deliver and "literally" ran away with the funds.

So, if you plan to create a campaign, you will need patience and a serious approach to your project to convince the pledgers. Many are still cautious of "bad actors" who "stole" funds in the past with vague promises. But you know what? Don’t give up! As long as you can gain support and deliver, there’s hope. Fundme.Cash is a great tool, and everyone with a solid project should try it. Who knows—maybe you’ll attract pledgers!
