Bull markets can make some people feel superb happy with profits they get and big donations can be made consequently. If you read the Stats on active & merit status of Donators & VIPs after 10 years you will know the latest VIP members (from 50 BTC donation is Claymore) and it happened during the bullish market in 2017. I believe Claymore earned lots of income from miners, especially from Ethereum miners and he love the forum too, then he donated 50 BTC.
