I mean, you don't even have to look very far. Gavin's faucet used to give out 5 BTC at a time.

Wow. That's actually way too massive to be frankly speaking, because 5 BTC by today current price (i.e $118k per BTC) should be worth roughly over $590,000 at this moment. And it's really nice to know that Gavin Andresen once offered Bitcoin as giveaway to encourage the promotion and creating awareness about Bitcoin back in the days.

Yeah but back then 5 bitcoins would probably not even be worth $5. It is insane to compare. Back then 5 bitcoins probably were worth $2 in 2010 compared to now where it would be almost $600k. It is only 15 years and it grew into that. Imagine if you held into those bitcoins until now....

And secondly, sorry to go outside the box, because I would have loved to know what actually happened to Gavin Andresen? Because he was last seen on the forum January 13th 2023, and I also noticed the last post on his blog was published on March 6th 2024. So what happened, did he finally just left the forum to focus on other areas or ...

I can't find that much information but in reddit they talk a lot about when he went to CIA to present bitcoin. There seems to be a lot of conspiracies regarding that and with association of Satoshi as well.
