Must be something we don't know. The article doesn't say much. What do they need those $500k for? Are they going to implement it/expand on other social websites? And since it's an investment, how are they going to earn money on it? Fees?
A lot of rainbots/faucets make a ton of money stealing from their own site. This was a huge thing for DOGECOIN tons of the early on faucets played the good will and rapped the backside of it (no one said anything because not to hurt the vibe of DOGE, but I saw a number of faucets I donate to do questionable things (Ya bitch if I donate you I watch your blockchain like a hawk and FYI I'm not retarded... these largest DOGE faucets there was then... crooks!)
In Just-dice they where charging like 20% and catching their own rain!!!! bahahah fuckers. I always tell everyone just send the coins straight to me.. not through some gay lil bot probably owned by a cock sucker (you'd have to be kinda of a cock sucker to make money off a transfer that cost next to nothing!)
$500,000 for a tip bot?
That is fuckin cray cray. rofl... I wonder how that works out!
Here, it was on This Week In Start Ups a couple of weeks ago:

Try it out, it's pretty cool:
https://dogetipbot.com/You can see which streamers are using it here also, there are a few huge ones streaming sometimes (10,000+ viewers):

The tip bot we had on Doge-dice.com had to be worth at least 2.5 million in that case. Thing was fuckin legit.
