A few weeks ago I gave a local charity in my area a bitcoin paper wallet with 10 Bitcoins. I later found out that they threw it in the trash thinking it's some kind of prank or scam. This was a facepalm moment for me. Those bitcoins are now locked on the blockchain forever, because without a private key, there is no way to ever access them. (Unless someone finds the paper wallet in the trash? How likely is that? )
You can't be serious! Shocked

You donated that much money a few weeks ago? Or maybe 10+ years ago?

I tend to say "study Bitcoin first, acquire Bitcoin later" for a reason.

Most people don't love knowledge, I can tell you that much. They do love degrees though! (because they can get a better job position that way)
