In recent years, the cryptocurrency community has witnessed an increasing trend of philanthropy and charitable donations. One such notable instance is the support provided to Hal Finney, a pioneer in the Bitcoin community who unfortunately passed away in 2014. His family continues to be a source of inspiration for many. My question is: How much money, if any, did the Bitcoin community raise and donate to Finney and his family during his illness and after his passing? Did these donations come from individual bitcoiners, foundations, or both? Were there any significant public campaigns or fundraising efforts that mobilized the community? Understanding the extent of support given can help us appreciate the impact of cryptocurrency philanthropy and its potential for social good.

Prior to the significant surge in the value of bitcoins late last year, a significant portion of them were exchanged for dollars.

At the time of the donation, these bitcoins represented a significant yet modest amount. However, with the subsequent appreciation in the value of bitcoins, this sum has grown substantially.

This exchange occurred much earlier, when the digital currency's worth was substantially lower.
