Could you make US dollar currency avaliable for donations options?

[RedBatman]

I would like to donate to retropie people for their fantastic work and to my surprise only way to donate is in British pounds. Is there a way you could add a US dollar donation button or does the donation still count if you use an American debit/credit?

@redbatman it will work with us currency. When you choose amount it should also tell you the us currency amount. But you can always pay in any currency. Paypal converts it.

[RedBatman]

@edmaul69 Okay thanks just now gave donation

[twd]

@redbatman cause Britain is the best*

[herb_fargus]

@twd yep that pound sure is strong against the dollar these days! *Eyerolls

[edmaul69]

@herb_fargus thats why the british pound sucks!! :D Lol. It hurts buying stuff from the uk sometimes.

[jonnykesh]

@herb_fargus It's doing well against the Euro too... I wonder what caused people to lose confidence in the British pound? I saw some news stories last week about British holidaymakers complaining how expensive everything in Spain was!

@jonnykesh uncertainty around Brexit.

[jonnykesh]

@buzz Great time to visit the UK then, certainly for those from the US or Eurozone. If you don't mind the rain.

Brexit

For those of you who have no clue what Brexit is:

Uh well traveling now and days is super expensive I'd say, with gas prices going up and the uncertainty of the global economy things are at an odd state. I do wonder if the EU will last in the next couple of years.

[jonnykesh]

@redbatman The EU will last. It will just be very different from the one today. People love having the freedom to travel, work, live and learn in other states within Europe. It's not perfect, it's a huge bloated bureaucracy but I agree with the idea and the ideals at the heart of it. Currency union may not last. Greece, Portugal and Italy as as good as (if not already) bankrupt. Germany can only carry them so far.

This is the wrong place for a remain/brexit argument. Just no.

[twd]

@buzz remove all the other posts then. There is no debate it's happening. Democracy worked we voted out and we're going out. You mentioned brexit not me

[BuZz]

@twd I removed the video. The other posts are not argumentative. I would avoid antagonising me.

I mentioned the currency was affected due to uncertainty only. Markets don't like uncertainty. I made no arguments as to whether it was a good or bad idea.

[twd]

@buzz you done really well until, the hollow threat you cannot do nothing but ban me so get of your high horse. No need for that

[edmaul69]

@buzz if the currency is affected why is the usd$ still only worth .77£?

[twd]

@edmaul69 because of politics reason .. We ain't allowed to talk about anything but games and retropie, regardless if it's offensive or not so it seems

[RedBatman]

Either way, as long as we can support the people who do this project with any currency is fine by me.
