Re: I'm donating 5057 BTC to charitable causes! Introducing The Pineapple Fund
Hello!
I remember starting at bitcoin a few years ago. When bitcoin broke single digits for the first time, I thought that was a triumphant moment for bitcoin. I watched and admired the price jump to $15.. $20.. $30.. wow!
Today, I see $17,539 per BTC. I still don't believe reality sometimes. Bitcoin has changed my life, and I have far more money than I can ever spend. My aims, goals, and motivations in life have nothing to do with having XX million or being the mega rich. So I'm doing something else: donating the majority of my bitcoins to charitable causes. I'm calling it The Pineapple Fund.
So far, The Pineapple Fund has/is:
* Donated $1 million to Watsi, an impressively innovative charity building technology to finance universal healthcare.
* Donated $1 million to The Water Project, a charity providing sustainable water projects to suffering communities in Africa
* Donating $1 million to the EFF, defending rights and privacy of internet users, fighting for net neutrality, and far far more
* Donated $500k to BitGive Foundation, a charity building projects that leverage bitcoin and blockchain technology for global philanthropy.
If you know a registered nonprofit charity, please encourage them to apply on the fund's website! While I prefer supporting registered charities, I am open to supporting charitable causes as well. Check out the website

You are one of the lucky ones. I wish I would've found out about Crypto when Bitcoin came out. But how? It's hard to hear about new things when they are new. Once they are in media, everybody knows about it and the competition grows.
