    I’ll never understand spending that money like that instead of helping kids with cancer.

    Probably one of the several reasons why I am not rich.

      You know spending money doesn’t make it vanish into the air right? Someone else has the 6.2 million, and it can still help kids with cancer.

        I never thought I’d ever see someone argue against helping kids with cancer DIRECTLY when we have excess in the palm our hands, and yet here we are.

          You’re mad at the wrong person. He only has a banana. The banana “artist” has $6.2 million now. Why aren’t they helping kids with cancer? I suggest you go yell at them.

            Do you think someone spends $6.2 million on fruit if they don’t have an extra few million? He had $6.2 million at MINIMUM, and he chose to eat a banana instead of healing children.

            I think it’s perfectly fair to be mad at a person for the actions they took.

              He had $6.2 million at MINIMUM

              According to this great reporting by Protos, he holds over $580,000,000 in just Bitcoin, with tens (and sometimes hundreds) of millions in other assets, like TRON (the coin you can see promoted on the side of his microphone in the article’s photo) which is a clone of the Ethereum blockchain he made by simply copying the code, artificially lowering fees, then publishing it as if he created it.

              Not only is he a rich douchebag, but he’s also a plagiarist.

        Same argument about wasting 44 billion to buy twitter.

        A useless website exchanged hands.

        Someone still has the money, why dont they spend it on the poor?
