Some gifter who managed to convince the world that a banana was worth 6.2 million dollars has that money. They won't be helping anyone but themselves.

I hope crypto-bro stole that 6.2 million from a cartel, and his next video involves people with machetes showing him how they feel about it.

It's even worse than that. The banana isn't the actual thing valued at that price. It's the exhibit, an abstract arbitrary concept. The banana and duct tape get replaced periodically. This person is just eating a banana for the attention.

You seriously wishing death on someone for eating a banana?
