Donations are pouring in as firefighters continue to battle a series of devastating wildfires across Australia’s southeast.
Australian-American actress Nicole Kidman and singer Keith Urban say they’re donating half a million dollars to help people who have been affected by the wildfires.
American singer and songwriter Pink is also donating $500,000.
In the cryptoverse, board member of Blockchain Australia and the founder of YouTube channel Nugget’s News, Alex Saunders, is urging his followers to “show the world the power of Bitcoin” by making donations using the world’s leading digital currency.
Saunders says that all donations will go to the Rural Fire Service.
Thousands have already been donated. For those wanting to track the total amount raised look at Total Received not final balance if you are using a blockchain explorer. Deposited coins may be moved to a cold wallet for security until we donate the full amount. Thank you. pic.twitter.com/bpVE4EpQyJ
