I wrote about [Pineapple Fund](https://pineapplefund.org) before on Steemit, but if you didn't read it, here's the TLDR:

* it's an anonymous fund comprised of more than 5,000 Bitcoin
* the owner chose to gave away the Bitcoin "because once you have enough money, money doesn't matter"
* it donates only to charities

And now, here's what happened since I last wrote about it. According to the calculation presented on the site, more than $54 million were donated until today, to 60 charities:

Among the charities, Water Project, which provides clean water to people in sub-Saharan Africa, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital rights watchdog. I would add to that the Apache Software foundation, one of the oldest and most respected Open Source projects on Earth. Here are just a few from the 60 charities supported so far:

The 5,000 Bitcoin donated to charity are in so much contrast with the recent news of the Mt Gox trustee, who sold on the open market thousands of Bitcoin, just to cover the negligence, or greed, of some people.

Looking at the Pineapple Fund you're tempted to think that's not all lost for humanity.

Just saying.
