An anonymous Bitcoin whale gave away $86 MILLION to charity in 2017 and disappeared


In December 2017 a user calling himself "Pine" posted on Reddit: "I have more money than I can ever spend" and pledged 5,057 BTC to charity
Over 5 months he sent $5M to GiveDirectly to fight poverty in Africa, $5M to fund MDMA-PTSD trials at MAPS, $5M to the Open Medicine Foundation, $1M to the Internet Archive, $1M to the EFF, $1M to charity water and 54 more charities on top
He never doxxed himself and never claimed a tax deduction even though it would save him millions
Those 5,057 BTC are worth $394 million today
