Why would he give away bitcoin just to promote Bitcoin? Are you suggesting he had an even larger sum of Bitcoin hidden somewhere? Or he just wanted to promote Bitcoin at a personal cost?

The donation drove a lot of awareness of Bitcoin in a context - charity - that few people would criticize. > Are you suggesting he had an even larger sum of Bitcoin hidden somewhere? I presume he does. I doubt his donations impoverished him, but it's irrelevant to the argument. > Or he just wanted to promote Bitcoin at a personal cost? Again, sure, why not?
