The Dementia Society of America (DSA) has just announced that it will be accepting a range of cryptocurrencies going forward. Thanks to the financial technology’s classification as property in the US, donations made to the charity using digital assets will not be taxed.<\/p>\n

In addition to the general acceptance of cryptocurrency, the charity has also launched a new fund raising initiative called “clicks-to-brick”. The effort will allow\u00a0 donors to swap digital currency for bricks to be used in the construction of its new headquarters.<\/p>\n
