Do you have an old Keybase account? Or do you know someone who has? If not, you can stop reading now. If you have, and you weren’t into the crypto stuff back in the days you probably have around 500 EUR / 600 USD lying around there in magic internet money.
With the world on fire, those money is not doing any good locked into some internet wallet. So I’d recommend getting them out of there and spend them on either yourself, someone you care about, or something good like charity.
It takes a bit of effort, as Keybase does not allow you to transfer them directly, but thanks to a great writeup from Yael you can do it.
After you have imported them into LOBSTR or some other wallet, you can donate them directly to charity with www.daffy.org (is one of the few I found that accepts XLM) , The British Red Cross accepts some other crypto.
Or you can transfer them to an exchange to turn them into real money and donate that.
Use a reputable exchange if so. Because crypto is mostly crime, you will have to do a lot of KYC (know your customer, sending your ID and such) so pick one you trust with your data. After a bit of research I used bitstamp, and hopefully that won’t turn out too badly. But do your own research and pick one suitable to your jurisdiction.

Another blaugust post, not much editing. I have a much longer draft, discussing the various charities which accept crypto and how to make the most out of your XLM. I might publish in the future, will link to it then if so.
