Wow $100 for free, like the students at MIT need more free money.  How about giving it to a homeless shelter instead?


I think you misunderstood the situation. Giving the students $100 in btc was not a charitable donation. Most of these students don't need handouts.Instead they are trying to draw more bright young minds into BTC. A lot of valuable contributions, startups, and innovation could come from a select group like this.
