I always considered VIP to be the highest rank here. We should all strive to reach that someday. I guess my question is, if you got rich in Bitcoin, how rich would you have to be to donate 50 BTC here, or even 10 BTC to become a Donator?
It is no longer possible to get the VIP rank here, except Theymos changes the metric to earn that position, and let's face fact, even the forum admins know that:
Donations were collected back when BTC was comparatively worthless.
With the present value of bitcoin and the future value being something bitcoiners feel will be beyond our imagination, even if donations were still collected, i don't think anyone will donate 50 or 10 BTC to the forum, they will surely hold it and contribute to the forum in other ways than donating.
