COVID-19: Health Workers Battle Amidst Shortage, Crypto-Community Steps Up to Help

The numbers keep rising.
In the 3 months since it was first detected, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has infected upwards of 725,000 people all around the world, claiming over 34,000 lives, and counting.
Amidst this global pandemic, healthcare workers are selflessly working around the clock to treat the infected and to contain and prevent the spread of COVID-19. They are our first line of defense in the battle against the virus.
However, this fight is slowly and steadily turning into a “war with no ammo”.
A Critical Shortage of Equipment
Doctors, nurses, and medical workers are reporting a lack of protective gear, including proper masks, medical gowns, and eye gear that serve to protect them from contracting the infection and in turn, spreading it to their families and others.
The situation is dire: hundreds of healthcare workers have been forced into quarantine in the US as the virus gains in strength every single day. Nearly 10% of Italy’s COVID-19 cases are healthcare workers themselves.
However, they still keep fighting the pandemic so that we can stay safe at home. And while at home, some of us are coming up with “novel” ways to support them:
The Crypto-Community Steps Up
FreeBitco.in, a leading bitcoin gaming website and free bitcoin faucet, is spearheading an initiative called the “#ThankYouHealthWorkers” campaign.
On Tuesday, 31st March, between 13:00 – 16:00 UTC, the campaign goes live on their website. FreeBitco.in will donate 20% of the House Edge Revenue earned during the 3-hour donation window to the coronavirus relief fund.
If you’d like to support the masked heroes on the frontlines too, follow the steps given below:
- Head over to FreeBitco.in
- Create an account in seconds
- Click on Multiply BTC
- Play the Bitcoin Dice game between 13:00 – 16:00 UTC on 31st March
- FreeBitco.in will donate 20% of the house edge revenue earned
The proceeds from this fundraiser will be donated to Direct Relief, an organization that is “coordinating with public health authorities, nonprofit organizations and businesses in the U.S. to provide personal protective equipment and other items to health workers responding to Corona (COVID-19).”
“Anything we do is negligible compared to the sacrifice made by the healthcare workers during this pandemic,” said “wetsuit”, the founder of FreeBitco.in. “We urge the crypto-community to come together and support the #thankyouhealthworkers campaign.”
The threat is real, but so is the sacrifice. Stay home, stay safe, and join the cause by contributing to COVID-19 relief for healthcare workers. Share this article with as many people as you can with the hashtag #ThankYouHealthWorkers. If all of us band together, we could turn the tide against the coronavirus in no time.

BC.GAME Launches Tap Trading

Reading Time: < 1 minute
Â
BC.GAME announced the launch of Tap Trading (a touch-to-payout multiplier game) on its platform. At launch, Tap Trading will support multiple mainstream crypto pairs, including ETH/USDT, SOL/USDT and STONKS/USDT. Users can access the product in the Web/App âCrypto Futuresâ section.
BC.GAME already offers a diversified product lineup spanning casino, sports and market mini-gamesâincluding UP DOWN, HIGH LOW and HIGH LOW SPREAD. The addition of Tap Trading further expands BC.GAMEâs market-interaction experiences, allowing users to engage with highly liquid crypto assets through a simple, convenient price-touch mechanic.
Unlike traditional derivatives, Tap Trading makes potential return and loss visible before order placement. Users tap a green target block on the right-hand grid to place an order; each block displays its multiplier and time window. If the price curve touches the selected block before the timer expires, settlement is made by that blockâs multiplier (total return = stake Ă multiplier). If the target is not touched, the stake is lost. This design significantly simplifies operation and outcome determination, enabling users to express views not only on direction, but also on magnitude and time.
Jack, CEO of BC.GAME, said: âAdding Tap Trading to our platform fills a gap in lightweight market-interaction gameplay and reflects usersâ demand for a simple, direct way to participate in crypto markets. Whether youâre market-savvy or trying this for the first time, Tap Trading offers a clearer experience with visible parameters and well-defined boundaries.â
Jack added: âCombining such an intuitive mechanic with our ongoing work on real-time pricing and product polish marks another important step forward for BC.GAMEâs crypto entertainment offering.â
