Doge coins to the rescue Jamaica bobsleigh - Sanka - May 6, 2014
😏 Its amazing what doge coins and etc can do, us Jamaican's wouldnt get anywhere if it wasnt because of them now were back to the bobsleigh 2014, not been in Olympics for bobsleigh since 2002.
Quote:A group of supporters has raised more than $25,000 in the internet currency Dogecoin to let the Jamaican bobsleigh team attend the Winter Olympics in Sochi.
On Sunday, news broke that the team had qualified for the Winter Olympics for the first time since 2002. The two-man sled will be piloted by Winston Watt, a 46-year-old Jamaican-American who also competed in 2002, with Marvin Dixon as the brakeman.
I just felt to share this to see some other people opinions.

I know right hopefully they do good, they had to raise another $40,000 to even afford training and transport and etc im just hoping this is not an waste.

This isn't a lost in any way, this is good advertising for crypto-currency and for Jamaica.
Of-course it should be beautiful if they finished in the top three.

It's funny that the winter olympics were like 1,5 months ago. This is old news.
