I found an interesting article today about Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, who donated 2.4 million worth of Ether to the SENS Research Foundation. The foundation is a charity funding program with the goal of raising money for research for treating age related diseases.
With that research, the long term goal is to allow humans to live longer, better lives.
This is not the first time the foundation has received a significant donation. Apparently, the Pineapple fund, which is a bitcoin only charity fund, donated 2 million dollars in two, 1 million dollar donations.
I'm definitely hoping that this kind of acts of gratitude will spread like wildfire. With so much bad press out there from governments and uninformed "analysts", it's nice to see a story like this reach the masses.
Who says people involved in crypto can't do good things with their money?
Here's the article about Buterin
