What makes Bitcointalk unique, is the level of freedom we get. Of course, it also helps that the forum owns $40M. Most other forums rely on advertising, and advertising in signatures would compete with the forum's own income. Bitcointalk doesn't have that problem.

I was supposed to be surprised about signature campaigns not being a thing that's started here in the forum but then I've read that this forum owns 40 million USD, talk about surprises. I do know that there's a lot of donators in the forum and that it's around a million at least but what I didn't know was this is the amount, are they all from donators to the forum though? And what are these insane amount of money used for?

It seems like a lot today, but at the time the forum started it was very little.
10 years ago, a donor, especially miners, could easily donate 10BTC. Imagine if only 50 people donated that amount to the forum 10 years ago.

Well, I think you understand how today the forum has a lot of money available to keep it running.
