      True and its also not compareable to gold.

      But as long as others giving you real money for this garbage, it would be better to use it for a project like neovim :)

        A dead wallet has better use for Bitcoin though.

        We don't know where the Bitcoin has come from, so it needs to go through extensive anti money laundering checks.

        Save the hassle of all of that taxes, accountancy and just send everything to a dead wallet.

          Fair enough

          How about they use the bitcoin to donate?
