A. PearCoin donations are 100% secure, transparent and fungible.

A. Yes. PairCoin Foundation’s customer service is designed to assist charities with easily receiving donations, managing them and divesting them. This is not true for any other cryptocurrency.

A. Most colleges are still very uncomfortable with accepting cryptocurrency donations. This mindset is due to concerns about volatility, taxation and liquidity which might disrupt carefully balanced investment portfolios.

Volatility: PairCoin transfers are not intended to kindle volatile price movement as the coin will not be available for trading on regular exchanges, OTC and futures markets. It is hoped that PairCoin will become a stable, slow-growth store of value for charities.

Taxation: The PairCoin Foundation will provide tax planning and strategy for its stakeholders.

Liquidity: The PairCoin Foundation will run a cryptocurrency exchange to allow the charitable holders of PairCoin to exchange their PairCoin to fiat or other cryptocurrencies. It is hoped that secondary authorized exchanges will also become available.

Inflation: Like bitcoin, the number of PairCoin are limited in quantity and should not be strongly affected by inflation.

Transparency: PairCoin’s centralized charitable foundation should help allay charity’s fears of legal liability because its charitable receipts will be completely transparent.

A. Yes. PairCoin’s centralized foundation and exchange focuses on assisting charities to easily accept and redeem both PairCoin and other cryptocurrencies with the smallest exchange fees in the industry. No other cryptocurrency is inherently centralized in this fashion.

A. With the advent of PairCoin, charities will have full assistance for accepting, managing and divesting PairCoin via the PairCoin Foundation. It is hoped that they will gradually become accustomed to receiving cryptocurrency donations. Miners who were previously focused on personal gain will become philanthropists by mining PairCoin.

A. Fidelity Charitable (not affiliated with PairCoin) started accepting Bitcoin in November 2015. $7 million was donated in 2016 and $69 million in 2017, making cryptocurrency the fastest-growing asset type accepted by Fidelity. The biggest draw to Fidelity Charitable’s platform is it’s investor-managed fund, which lets donors give away assets including cryptocurrency without having to pay capital gains taxes. PairCoin provides this feature and much more.

A. No. The PairCoin Foundation which is a 501(c)(3) charity, operates a donor advised fund which receives the assets in whatever form they are in, cash, other cryptocurrencies, etc. Conversion to another asset of equal value will not trigger capital gains taxes. PairCoin’s unique nature may be recognized by taxing authorities in a fashion that will diminish taxable events.

A. The only time you donate a percentage of your funds is when you choose to make a new donation by purchasing PairCoin. For example, if you want to donate $10,000 to a charity, you can acquire $10,000 of PairCoin designating $9900 to the charity of your choice and $100 to yourself or to the same or other charity. The difference between the two portions of the ‘pair’ is that the $9900 is managed, and if desired, restricted. This is done by the PairCoin Foundation, PairCoin’s centralized arm, while the recipient of the $100 receives decentralized and unrestricted PairCoin, exactly like Bitcoin.

When you transfer or sell the $100 unrestricted PairCoin, you have no charitable requirements.

A. Non-restricted PairCoin which is transferred from one wallet to another does not require a charitable contribution. The non-restricted portion of the coin operates exactly like bitcoin.

A. The use case for PairCoin is very much like bitcoin and not like Ethereum or XRP. PairCoin seeks a very reliable blockchain platform like bitcoin. PairCoin is not concerned about the speed of the transaction in the way XRP intends to overtake the international SWIFT system.

A. Although PairCoin will provide certain ‘smart-contract’ like features, it is fundamentally a transparent, reliable store of value. These features are rarely used conditional features already built into the bitcoin blockchain. PairCoin seeks to achieve a completely new legal paradigm for tax advantages by structuring their PairCoin charitable deductions on either a cash basis or the equivalent of an accrual basis, i.e. date of donation when the charity receives the funds, creating a donation vehicle which is more powerful than a donor-advised fund (DAF). This is not achievable with an Ethereum smart contract which is simply a timed donation.

A. The bitcoin ‘experiment’ is barely ten years old. Notwithstanding the growing pains of volatility, it has proven itself a reliable store of value and not endured a hacking attack since 2010. The greatest risk to a new bitcoin clone is a 51% attack like that experienced by blockchain clones Shift and Krypton in 2016. PairCoin has developed a patent-pending solution to this problem to mitigate this risk.
