Hey all,
The Wikimedia Foundation does not hold cryptocurrency in Bitcoin. Whilst we
do accept bitcoin donations, this is currently done indirectly via BitPay
which converts from Bitcoin/Bitcash to Dollars prior to receipt.

While I support the concept of this event in regards to gathering
affiliates and those at WMF who work with affiliates, I feel that I should

event designed to educate cryptocurrency enthusiasts that they don't
have to be as destructive, strictly as a principled stance against
bitcoin's waste of electr
Dear Wikimedians,
We are delighted to announce that the registration for the Wikimedia Summit
2019 [1], which will be held in Berlin at Mercure Hotel Berlin Tempelhof
Airport [2] from Friday, March 29, through Sunday, March 31, is now open!
As we have announced previously, the main focus of this
worth noting again that in my (I am paid to have these opinions now)
professional opinion, nothing about cryptocurrencies is good or
useful, and WMF's involvement should proceed precisely as far as
taking donations at arm's length (never touching an actual
cryptocurrency). And documenting the pheno
