Topic: Wikipedia cofounder Jimmy-Wales has received 21BTC in 7 days?! - page 2. (Read 2658 times)
I don't know why anyone has sent these douche's one single satoshi.
He did say on Reddit though that this wasnt going to influence them into accepting it in general. 21BTC is a tiny fraction of their running costs and he noted that one time donations couldn't be a judge for the future.
Now the guy has over 1/1,000,000th of the entire total supply of bitcoins!
He's going to live up to his last name "Whale" pretty soon

About 6 tweets down on this page, you will see he posts his bitcoin address.
Then I took a look at how much he has received since he posted this 6 days ago:
https://blockchain.info/address/1McNsCTN26zkBSHs9fsgUHHy8u5S1PY5q3
21 BTC!
If that doesn't make Wikipedia officially support bitcoin I don't know what would. I imagine it will be implemented into their site soon enough.
