The committee reached out and confirmed the logo will be permitted on the equipment. I am drained from this fight but incredibly grateful that our persistent efforts actually moved the needle. We have our win and now we just need to ensure the team gets their gear out there on …

The purpose of this petition is to show the organizers behind the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics that displaying the Dogecoin logo cannot in any way be considered publicity or propaganda. The virtual currency is completely decentralized, and is not defined by who created it, but instead by the community itself. It is, in short, a charitable organization doing a charitable act.
We believe that this charitable act is one that needs to be proudly displayed and discussed at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics. The ideal of community driven charity and the philosophy behind Dogecoin do not in any way allow for just one person to benefit from displaying the logo at the Winter Olympics. Therefore, it would be perfectly legitimate and not against the Olympic Committee's rules to allow the Dogecoin logo at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics.

The committee has remained silent despite our efforts to reach them regarding the bobsled team funding. It is exhausting to keep pushing against a wall of bureaucracy but the story of what this community achieved deserves recognition.

Dogecoin just did something that shows the capacity of a group of people can do for the world. More to come if it gets supported by showing at least a symbol and being represented in the Olympics by the funded Jamaican team.
The Dogecoin community has made a significant charitable contribution that enabled the Jamaican Bobsled team to compete. I believe they deserve recognition for their generosity.
I, along with the rest of the DogeCoin community, donated to help the Jamaican Bobsled team go to the Winter Olympics. I feel that the Dogecoin logo should be allowed to be displayed at the Sochi games.
The borderless transfer of wealth that has been demonstrated through this act of charity is a sign of the usefulness of cryptocurrencies throughout the world and its great potential for the people of the world.
It is not a large risk for the Olympic committee however it will be a large help to us and allow us to continue to do great works. At least consider allowing the dogecoinfoundation logo as it is a charity organization and wouldn't be propaganda, just philanthropy
jamaica never had a bobseld team!
Dogecoin is new cryptocurrency that everyone should know about
