Notably, @CalisCihan шектенет that the Dogecoin foundation may have sold the tokens on the same day as on-chain data shows that the foundation sent the 20 million DOGE to an exchange address hours later. @CalisCohan speculates that the Dogecoin Foundation may have sold the tokens as, at the time, DOGE was enjoying a massive rally thanks to Илон Маск Твиттерди басып алды.
It is worth noting that neither the Dogecoin Foundation nor Vitalik Buterin has made any announcements regarding the donation. Meanwhile, @CalisCihan expressed disappointment that the foundation did not return 5 million DOGE collected from the DOGE tip jar last year to cover Dogecoin Foundation expenses. Notably, the tip jar was initially intended to support four Dogecoin core developers.
Both @CalisCihan and Mishaboar have different speculations as to the timing. While @CalisCihan believes there might be a link between the donation and the launch of the long-anticipated DOGE ETH bridge, which Buterin collaborated on, Mishaboar упайлар to the Dogecoin Hackathon as a possible incentive.
The 20 million DOGE donation worth about $2.9 million on November 2 comes in addition to a белек / садага of about 500 ETH in May by the Ethereum founder. It bears mentioning that Buterin also кызмат as a blockchain advisor to the foundation.
For clarity, the Dogecoin Foundation is an independent entity that supports the Dogecoin network through advocacy and non-blockchain or core development efforts.
Several users have expressed excitement at the latest development despite the donation’s purpose remaining unclear.
