- martinko 9y ago... Fake? There is literally no proof that he is in possession of the money, let alone that he is giving it away.

- arvinjoar 9y agoWhy give it away? Could be spent on some pretty amazing projects that would otherwise not happen, with enough imagination.
- davidcollantes 9y agoI understand your reasoning, but (assuming this is true, and the person indeed owns such amount) it is the person's bitcoins to do with them as pleases, no?
- ceejayoz 9y agoSure, but that doesn't mean we can't criticize the choices made.
- ithought 9y agoMajor corporations, pop culture and human nature all vying to get an individual to spend recklessly and in gratuitous ways, but let's not allow any force of good to use similar tactics. We can't suggest to someone how to spend their money despite every facet of society doing exactly that.
- andrepd 9y agoLike what do you mean?

- bgia 9y agoShouldn't that person start by provisioning for their taxes? The tax liability of such a position is probably around 6 to 8 millions depending on the country the person lives in.
- throwaway91111 9y agoI thought you had to pay on cash out, not distribution.
- xor1 9y agoFrom what I know, in the US, you're responsible for tax when using cryptocurrency as an actual currency for transactions. But I don't think you have to do anything if you're just giving it away.

- sasper 9y agoI co-founded a 501c3 non-profit foundation that works with chronically malnourished children, single and pregnant women, and the elderly in nutrition, education, and women's empowerment projects in rural Guatemala. It's called the Konojel Community Center http://www.konojel.org http://www.konojel.org, a project of the All Together Foundation. We've received a bit of support through Bitcoin and would love to receive more funding for our projects, including covering the costs of a free community internet center that gives students access to the internet and printing services for no cost. 1Pw67exa4SuPA5Wkc9jFbn11UKhSGuzDox
- anotherturn 9y agoKudos to you. My recommendation - https://supporters.eff.org/donate https://supporters.eff.org/donate - they seem to be the only organization fighting to keep the internet open and accessible allowing technologies and services like bitcoin to exist and grow.
- fosco 9y agoyes, and they make it easy to accept bitcoin, no need to transfer to cash first. (this may have been implied but unsure if others knew that)

- dbatten 9y agoIf this is even real... I admire the generosity, but giving money away on Reddit is a terrible idea. It's really hard to give money away effectively, which is why folks like Bill Gates have now made it their full-time job.

- speps 9y agoI have to say, it's quite fun to refresh every couple of minutes and downvote anyone who just gives their Bitcoin address without any reason...
- an_d_rew 9y agoAnd why not? There is a certain element of... shenaniganery going on here, perhaps. Giving away "money"? Users claiming "good and charitable works"? Neither side with real "evidence" or "proof"... So everyone must simply be taken at their word.
- Medaber 9y agoMy suggestion: give it to voat.co and support free speech and healthy lifestyles.

- pc86 9y agoHey Dan, it would be great if we could auto-kill all the comments here containing a wallet address.
- dang 9y agoIt seems like overkill to write software for that but I've killed these ones manually. Feel free to flag them as well. To flag a comment, click on its timestamp to go to its page, then click 'flag' at the top. (There's a small karma threshold, currently 30, before flag links appear.)
- smrtinsert 9y agoAt what dollar value would this type of post not be allowed on hn?
- xor1 9y agoI'm really, really amused by all of the people posting their wallet address in the Hacker News comments. How do you not understand that the submission links to a Reddit thread, and that that's where you're supposed to be posting your address?
- altern8tif 9y agoThe rules of the subreddit states that you shouldn't really be posting your wallet addresses on their threads. Having said that, I think the OP's message inbox would have exploded by now.
- guiyomel 9y agoThat's awesome! Thank you very much. Bless you. 1GgTSFZ3yzrpJQLdTu57RK8WYtomZiEhix

- i336_ 9y agoI've only observed Bitcoin from a distance as I've never needed to send or receive money online and not really been able to invest in things. I didn't learn about Bitcoin until only ASIC mining was viable, but I've never had a GPU (yes, that cash-strapped) so it wouldn't have mattered anyway. So, I'm curious. What's a decent, low-drama/no-fuss broker I should be few issues with? Reason is obvious. :P I'm completely ignorant of Bitcoin features I might like; I'll primarily want to export to USD (in the US), and maybe AUD (in .au).
- i336_ 9y agoPSA PSA PSA THIS IS A CROSSPOST FROM TO A REDDIT THREAD, REPLY THERE With that out of the way: I strongly suspect that the reason this is happening is that the person in question thinks Bitcoin is about to tank. So they're getting out of the market.

- dang 9y agoThis is no more intellectually interesting than the 1970s game shows where they filled a glass cage with money and let someone with a paper bag in for 30 seconds. Please read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
