Two MIT students have raised half a million dollars for a project to distribute $100 in bitcoin to every undergraduate student at MIT this fall.


cgdodd:

Does anybody wonder if this money couldn't have gone to a better cause? I'd wager most MIT student's come from wealthy families or are extremely gifted.. why not give a hand-up to someone in need than give someone without need a handout? Instead of the intellectually gifted and fortunate, maybe give to families of children with special needs who are on the other side of the fortune continuum.
