Nice, we’ve got $100k! I wonder what we’re going to spend our $88k on? Maybe we should use our $112k to hire somebody to work on the compiler full time? Would $85k be enough for them?
I know Bitcoin proponents can be quite dismissive of anything that could potentially sound negative towards crypto, but I feel like we should not be having a discourse on HN where a joke like this has to be explained or which has people downvoting OP for making it. No matter your stance on Bitcoin it’s volatility is a matter of established fact, and it’s a fun joke, how the hell did humor die in the crowd of wallstreet bets HODL’rs screening yolo while betting their house on a stick because the ticket has high meme-value?
I understood that :) My point was that although Bitcoin is volatile at this moment, I much rather receive donations in a volatile currency than no donations at all.
-- people who have donated $0 to Nim
Bitcoin != USD.
In fact I seem to recall being told that was rather the point.
