6 years ago I gave $1 tip (in bitcoin) to more than 1000 reddit users

My username says it all really, from november 2014 to january 2015 I manually sent $1 worth of Bitcoin to more than 1000 random reddit users (using /r/changetip bot, sadly no longer operational).

Back then a Bitcoin cost about $300 so I guess I should now change my username to Random170DollarTip ...

Spent about 2 Bitcoin on this little operation, don't regret a thing!

EDIT: Added a few comments I got after tipping people.

"Thank you for introducing me to BitCoin."

"do people even care about cryptocurrency anymore?"

"And why??"

"Cool, thanks! What is it?"

"Keep your fucking spam in /r/shitcoin, a**hole."

"That's cool! thanks!"

"Man, the bitcoin guys are getting desperate."

"thanks!"

I write this primarily in response to the TechSpot article from yesterday ( r/technology mods told me they only allow “ mainstream articles with editorial oversight and fact-checking ” so I'm sharing this here). But I’d also like to take this opportunity to write about Bitcoin more broadly as someone who has been following it for more than a decade and I’ll try to do so without complicating the conversation for anyone unfamiliar with Bitcoin. The TechSpot article cites a non-peer-reviewed National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) working paper from Igor Makarov and Antoinette Schoar. NBER claims to be non-partisan but it is a private NPO funded by the likes of Bill Gates foundation . The chairman of NBER, Karen Horn, is a former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and Head of Int...
