The Pineapple Fund donated $55M in nonprofit Bitcoin grants
> "My aims, goals, and motivations in life have nothing to do with [. . .] being [. . .] mega rich. So I'm doing something else: donating the majority of my bitcoins to charitable causes.”<p>The very act of large scale giving is an act of power which uniquely characterizes the mega rich.  Such giving invariably has an agenda attached, whether it's one that you like or dislike.  That's the case for mega rich donors as seemingly disparate as the Gates Foundation or th DeVos foundation.<p>In the case of this fund, the agenda appears to be to push Bitcoin.  Otherwise they could have just liquidated the Bitcoin to legal tender before donating thereby relieving the recipient institutions of the challenges associated with it.  Having spoken people at one of these organizations, they had zero desire to hold Bitcoin, as they need cash for day to day operations.
