> Decolonizing wealth

Rich people unironically using a term like that is pretty laughable.



The part about turning off donations via Ethereum due to concerns about “environmental impact” was pretty good too.

(I mean, if a donor doesn’t have Ethereum, then they are probably not going to buy Ethereum in order to donate. If they only have Ethereum, then they need to transact it anyway to get a currency that the foundation will accept… And that’s taking it for granted that Ethereum has some problematic environmental impact, and that the impact is important enough to warrant losing donations for.)

The funding doc reads like an organization that has lost its way and is pursuing various vague social causes (“decolonizing wealth”), or social justice wars, rather than its original mission.


This is the place you park the trust fund babies who are too dumb to be entrusted with running a real business.
