I also think 5000 is a lot of money for a monk to spend in just six months. In many countries that amount is a lot of money for some people even in a year. It must be some monk who likes to do sinful things, otherwise I don't quite understand how it was possible to spend that money somewhere in a monastery. To me this thread reeks of a scam.
I also do not believe this story, there are too many doubts. How can someone give him bitcoins if he doesn't know bitcoins before? I wonder if OP knew about bitcoins before he was given or after he was given bitcoins and what country he is from, is bitcoin legal there?
For $ 5000, I can also use it for more than 1 year if you only use it for eating and living normally. that's big money.
I run a Charity. I am a Monk. I need some help from the Bitcoin community
Do you need help from the community? Do you need help with money or knowledge?.
