> She owns crypto

An insignificant amount, according to that URL: "I own small amounts (less than $500 worth at time of purchase) of crypto tokens or other crypto assets, which belong to an undisclosed address I use for research purposes. These do not represent a significant portion of my assets, and are used primarily to access token-gated projects and experiment with smart contracts rather than for any attempt to earn a return. If I do somehow end up with more money than I put in as a result, I intend to donate it."

"The fellowship has no strings attached as far as my independence in researching and analyzing the crypto industry, and I am not obligated to do any work relating to Filecoin (nor am I obligated not to). Although my focus at the LIL will not involve Filecoin specifically (unless it independently happens to crop up in my work), I still wish to disclose it as a potential conflict of interest, should it come up."

Yes, thanks for the extended summary, but that's why I included the link.

I'm also doing an experiment with crypto. I bought $100 of BTC and $100 of ETH on paypal in Nov 2020, because well... paypal added that feature. It is now worth a combined $512.39. During the last bull run, it was near $2k. I plan on donating it some day as well! Regardless of your personal view of crypto, I think it would be pretty cool if more people did that.

Edit: of course, getting downvoted. i'll take the full -4 in the hopes that my comment spawns some future donations to charity.

What null hypothesis are you testing with your experiment?

I've been saying for 10 years that "magic internet money always goes back up" and so far I haven't been wrong.

I was unaware that we were back at all time highs in BTC & ETH, or that rugs had been returned to where they were pulled from and failed magic internet money projects that went to 0 had returned to 1.

It started at 0 and is greater than 0.
