Just wondering why someone would send 4BTC to the Genesis block which is over $75K.

Here is the transaction

I understand many want to send a small amount so they can get a piece of history on the block chain but sending over $75K which is pretty much a burn address since most likely it will never get spent is kind of crazy.

Why do you think they did this?
Who knows if that's just for a free will thanksgiving to appreciate Satoshi for his extraordinary work to make Bitcoin a reality 😂
I hope to see more Bitcoin sent to that address over and over again. There might be some rich kids that would never mind making a donation with any request. There had been so many eyes witha lot of scrutiny to know what will happen to those buck of Bitcoin sleeping over there without any use.
