    Today it is the largest single donation to IA. Tomorrow based on the value of FIL, it may be the smallest single donation.

      Filecoin, at it's lowest value since inception, traded for ~ $4, which would still make this a $200k donation. I hope we can agree such a donation is still worthy of praise. Any currency risks devaluation in some form. Cryptos are orders of magnitude more volatile than USD, of course. That is both a curse and a blessing. This donation is evidence of that, but belittling this donation because of disagreements with the underlying tech does little to add to the conversation.
