Remembering the giveaway - 12 * $50 in BTC five years ago
I know we all warn people that no one gives away money ... but I am reminded (and a month or so off from the anniversary) of what happened here in the Bitcoin subreddit five years ago ... the exception that proves the rule, if you will.
A user - regretfully, his/her account at the time has been suspended - decided to give away $500 in BTC, picking 10 people and sending them each $50 in BTC (minus fees). The user generously wound up sending it to 12 instead. Who wants to be a sat millionaires? It was approximately 0.00500000 BTC, at the time; that $50 or so has x10 in 5 years; I was one of the happy recipients.
Thank you again ...
