    Also fascinating was what happened next!

    Buterlin had been given 50% of the Shiba Inu Coins in distribution in the past, and upon learning of his donation, the cryptocurrency's value plummeted 40%, meaning that the value of his donation was down 40% in its buying power.

    Such volatility makes me wonder how cryptocurrency enters the mainstream (i.e. those without disposable wealth).
