Cryptocurrency: Anonymous to Invest $75M of Crypto to Develop Privacy Coins and Anon Tech

[Zenaan Harkness]

For such anonymity to have purchase (pun intended) with true freedom
loving anarchists, requires say a $1 million (1/75th portion of this
supposed fund) to be donated to an existing exemplary liberty
project, with the prime candidate being Puri.sm - we have no doubt
that ze Germans ( cookies :D ) will have no problems putting a spare
million fiats to sanity.

Call this "Proof of Substance" - substance of dollars, as well as
substance of ethics.

Failure to provide such Proof of Substance, leaves a strong
implication that this "Anonymous" crowd might be nothing more than a
wide fishing net used to collate the ideas of the cutting edge.
