Who in his right mind will donate 10 BTC for Donator status?

There are many people.

and what? 50 BTC for VIP status? are you kidding me?

No, there are some people who have VIP stats. https://bitcointalk.org/donate.html

I can't imagine someone in 2017 will donate 10 BTC to get a 'Donator' title under his name. Undecided

Claymore did it on April 2017. He became a donator after donated 10 btc to this forum at April, 20th 2017 which costs him $1,308.40*10 = $13,084 .

Thanks to Claymore, the first Donator in quite some time.
