Someone sent $0 worth of a dog coin to a man who didn't ask for it. He turned it into the largest crypto donation in history.


> In August 2020 an anonymous person calling himself Ryoshi launched Shiba Inu with one quadrillion tokens
> It had no investors, no VCs or a press release.
> His plan, written in something he called a "woofpaper", was to send 50% of the entire supply directly to Vitalik Buterin.
> He just sent him 500 trillion SHIB tokens to his wallet without warning.
> His reason was: "There is no greatness without a vulnerable point. As long as VB doesn't rug us, Shiba will grow and thrive."
> He intentionally made the co-founder of Ethereum the single largest holder of his memecoin as a marketing strategy without ever telling him.
> Vitalik woke up one day with 50% of a dog coin sitting in his wallet and had no idea what to do with it.
> By May 2021 those tokens were worth over $1 billion.
> He donated 50 trillion SHIB to India's COVID-19 relief fund
