Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
Ok, I actually did read the German sub forum, and I believe you, but I couldn't figure out at first why it was about a bet and not a charity.
it started as a bet. forum user elrippo posted that he bets 0.5 btc that btc would not reach 4000 within this year. I took the bet and said if I win, I would donate his 0.5 btc and my 0.5 btc to poor children for xmas. that is how it started. I am no charity, I am a private bitcointalk member. but I will stick to my word. and other forum members have donated also to that address. now its more than $80k.
it is of course way more than enough. bitcoiners are wonderful. and crazy. I had to quit going to work for a week to be able to get the logistic challenge done. I am working on it right now. it is crazy. I just thought I let you know.
Instead of presents, you could damn near build a shelter for foster kids with that kind of money.
Presents are temporary and fleeting, but the memory of a roof over ones head lasts a lifetime.
