Gamer Sick Nerd, who is known for his live streams of browser game Runescape, received an unusual donate from an unknown person. On January 11, 2019, during his regular stream, in addition to the usual donations from fans in the amount of 5-6 GBP, he received 20 bitcoins. It’s 10 thousand times more than a regular subscription to his “master class”.
None of the spectators took responsibility for this act of unparalleled generosity. Sick Nerd for a long time was sure that it was some kind of joke or a weird scam. But, as you know, it is not possible to cancel the Bitcoin transaction, which means the streamer has become a full-fledged crypto owner for a huge BTC amount.
By the way, the gamer will spend receiving funds on paying the remaining payments for the purchase of his own housing. One can say that we observe how bitcoin changes people’s lives for the better.
Nevertheless, many Reddit users questioned the beneficiary’s integrity. A lot of questions arise. For example, the address from which such a large sum was received was not published. This theoretically can be a “self-donation”, which aims to evade taxes or launder money.
