Dorsey says he’s going to convert the proceeds to bitcoin and will then donate those funds to GiveDirectly’s Africa response fund. Being as the tweet was auctioned on Valuables, a platform by Cent, a social media network built on blockchain, Cent will keep 5% of the proceeds and the rest Dorsey will have left to donate, about $2,770,043.25 million. #Socialites, thoughts?
