10 years ago one Reddit user tipped another Reddit user with 20 BTC (that was worth 4680 USD at the time, and is worth about $580k right now)

Back when the OG tipping Bitcoin bot u/bitcointip was relatively popular on Reddit, some users were quite generous with it. I was scrolling a bit past the tips, and largest one I found was this one that was going to just a regular person. It was still a huge tip even for that time, but looking at it now how that amount of BTC is worth almost $600k right now and well over a million during its highs in bullrun is amazing.

A sad thing about that tip though upon further inspection is the fact that person that got tipped that amount lost it all on silk road.

This is their comment from one year ago reminiscing about that tip:

Back then I was in crypto for the tech, and for the drugs. Because I was a moron.

And because I was a moron, I thought I will put it on Silk Road, because "that's surely more secure than my computer" (remember, back then, there were no HW wallets and no big take-downs of darknets; SR was the first big one)

Well, I lost everything when they took down Silk Road, very shortly after that.

I don't cry about that though, as I later joined Trezor team and worked there for a bit and got the chance to meet great people.

I became fairly anti-crypto and anti-libertarian about 2-3 years ago though and now I wish it all dies. We had our fun, let's pack it up and do something actually useful.
