The Bitcoiners will focus on the “overlooked” communities in western North Carolina that have received little to no state or federal support and remain cut off from life-saving supplies.
North Carolina’s local Bitcoin community is prepping a convoy of emergency room physicians, volunteers, and retired military personnel to provide critical assistance in the state’s mountain region following Hurricane Helene.
The operation will start on Oct. 4 from the Greensboro region, and the 12-man team will be equipped with six full-sized trucks, multiple utility task vehicles, four trailers, one horse and one mule, according to North Carolina Blockchain Association’s Head of Industry Affairs Dan Spuller in an Oct. 2 post on X.
Chainsaws and medical supplies will also be used to assist with clearing paths and searching for missing individuals.
