Economies grow through spending and investment, so I am doing my best to encourage people to spend their bitcoins through virtual marketplaces and other channels. 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? )

No one will take what you've written seriously, because you're a beginner on this forum and you haven't provided any proof that you did something like that - and who gives someone $300 000 today without explaining exactly what they're giving away? There are isolated communities of people who don't understand the concept of money, and if someone gave them a bag full of bills they would use them to light a fire or maybe find them some other use.

Next time you want to throw 10 BTC in the trash contact me - rest assured that every satoshi will be used for good purposes Wink
