'Tis the season of giving992 Archivesextensive web vault The Internet Archive is the latest recipient of cash from an anonymous bitcoin benefactor.
A few weeks ago, we talked about the Pineapple Fund, a project established by an anonymous bitcoin millionaire who wanted to give away nearly $86 million of his or her bitcoin fortune. And they're making good on their promise.

Besides holding helpful tools like the Internet Wayback Machine, which caches versions of websites across the internet, and extensive audio and video vaults, it's also currently documenting everything said and done by our current president in its own Trump database.
The person behind the Pineapple Fund initially announced their intentions on Reddit, saying, "Bitcoin has changed my life, and I have far more money than I can ever spend. My aims, goals, and motivations in life have nothing to do with having XX million or being the mega rich. So I'm doing something else: donating the majority of my bitcoins to charitable causes."
Given the skyrocketing, somewhat volatile value of bitcoin, donation is one way to cash in on the craze.
Other recipients thus far in the donation spree include the Water Foundation ($1 million), the Electronic Frontier Foundation ($1 million), and poverty donation site Give Directly ($5 million).
