PO8, a blockchain company headquartered in Marsh Harbor, Abaco in The Bahamas, has just witnessed the devastation and immediately felt called to action enrolling you, as the global and local blockchain communities to help rebuild and restore the most impacted islands of The Bahamas.
Donations
The company itself has pledged up to 1 billion PO8 tokens – a utility token each worth about $0.012 – saying that for every dollar worth of cryptocurrency donation, it would match it 100%.
Crypto donations are to be made in bitcoin or ether to the BBHDRF, a multi-signature wallet. The wallet will be managed by Don Cornish, island administrator of Freeport Grand Bahama. Cash donations will be accepted on the company’s GoFundMe page.
