It doesn’t bother me if it was, but from an optics perspective he should definitely come out with a post that’s like wow, thank you whoever did this I’m overwhelmed with gratitude etc… if you’re silent about a 30 million dollar donation it definitely looks like a self donation.
Just my two sats.
Eh, it's a bit tricky with these things. I remember back in 2017 when Roger Ver made fun of Antonopoulos for not having much Bitcoin and the community donated a bunch of Bitcoin to Andreas, and he got 100+ BTC from a single donor. He wrote a long post about securing those coins and thanked people generally, but he didn't thank the whale donor.
Obviously a different case here, but as a recipient, you want to be careful not to put too much attention to your donor who might want to stay anonymous.
I remember that as well and it’s certainly not inconceivable that a whale would donate Ross 300 coin, but with people speculating it might be a good idea to at least do a broad thank you post
