What are the best Bitcoin-aligned charitable causes to support?
Every year my family does Secret Santa. We each draw one name, buy for one person, and avoid the chaos of everyone buying for everyone. Without some kind of boundary, a holiday meant to celebrate a King who poured Himself out for others quickly spirals into a morning of accumulating more stuff than any of us could possibly need.
At some point we noticed the pattern: after the third or fourth gift from different people, you almost go numb. It’s that weird catatonic moment where you’re smiling and saying “thank you,” but inside you’re thinking, I don’t actually need any of this… and where on earth am I going to put it?
Anyone else ever hit that point?
So this year, we’re shifting things. We’re intentionally pushing back against the consumerism that’s crept into Christmas and refocusing on what this season is actually about: bringing hope, loving the forgotten, and shining light into dark places.
We lowered our limit of what we’re spending on gifts and shifting that extra money into donating to the charity chosen by our Secret Santa.
I’d love to pick a Bitcoin-focused organization or a project dedicated to holistic, natural health literacy — something that genuinely empowers people in the long term.
If you have any suggestions, I’d love to hear them.
And while you’re here, I’d also love to know: what traditions or rituals does your family practice to keep the heart of Christmas front and center?
