This is how bitcoin companies do charity

https://cryptothrift.com/auctions/computer-peripherals/trezor-lavender-for-direct-relief-charity-campaign-166615/

quote:

Every day from 20. - 26. August you can auction a unique Lavender TREZOR hardware wallet for your special Bitcoin Lady.

By winning today's auction, you will:

1. Proudly donate any amount that you bid above $109 to Direct Relief's CAMPAIGN TO SUPPORT SAFE PREGNANCIES FOR EXPECTANT MOTHERS IN WEST AFRICA.

2. Get your hands onto one of the very few Lavender TREZOR wallets (by Satoshilabs) - a limited-edition and a breeze-to-use wallet for every lady.

Due to the charitable nature of this auction, you agree that in case of a placing a winning bid, you renounce your right to ask for a refund.

Read TREZOR Explained Simply for more information on the product: https://medium.com/@satoshilabs/bitcoin-super-hero-trezor-explained-simply-906d261cf8f3


Actual MSRP for their products?:


So they aren't donating the products but actually marking them up, spinning it as a charity auction but still collecting their marked-up price before 'donating' the rest to charity

some rando said he was going to donate $100 million to Portland State University, and it took a couple days for the school to find out maybe he didn't have that money. turns out he's a serial entrepreneur who's recently into bitcoins and wants to build a 50 billion dollar bitcoin computer mining rig warehouse in new mexico, or oklahoma, or oregon. he's also got a thread on bitcointalk, where even bitcoiners are saying he's a scam artist

The program in main is out there somewhere on the internet, on a computer with an IPv4 address, listening on port 49150.

If it receives the message "I am your radiant spark.", it will respond with the private key that corresponds to this address:

also on the internet is a program attached to a computer with a $100 bill, Gerry the Gerbil, and a capsule of cyanide. when that computer receives the message "I am your radiant spark.", it will use the use the bill to slice open the cyanide, therefore fiat money kills animals

You're speaking of the breakout from mid-200s to 1000+ in November '13, correct?

What of the breakout from $0 to 10 cents?

What of the breakout from 10 cents to one dollar?

What of the breakout from one dollar to 15 dollars?

What of the breakout from 15 dollars to $100?

What of the breakout from $100 to $250+?

And which of these do you think was the most important? The most recent breakout to $1,000? I would argue the most important breakout was the moment the bitcoin network went from being worth nothing to being worth something.

You've missed my point, which is that bitcoin has done this before, and every other time it has settled on a price for this long, a boom has followed.

Of course, this is all just speculation. We all know past performance is no guarantee of future results.
