UPDATE FROM THE METHUSELAH FOUNDATION: https://prnewswire.com/news-releases/methuselah-foundation-vows-to-steward-dogelon-elon-value-long-term-301298255.html

We have an update from our lead story about Vitalik Buterin’s donation to The Methuselah Foundation. While various press outlets originally reported US dollar donation amounts stated in this video, the exact values of the donated cryptocurrencies are not precisely known to us at this time. We will update this description when we learn more information.

In this episode of LSN: crypto-billionaire Vitalik Buterin has donated about $4 million to longevity research in Ethereum and ELON tokens, has launched a new campaign to test rapamycin in humans, people aged 105 and older appear to have better DNA repair mechanisms than others, and a new gene therapy improves the brains of mice with Alzheimer’s.

Vitalik Buterin's donation follows quickly after an earlier donation of approximately 1 billion dollars in Ethereum and Shibu Inu tokens to the India Covid Fund, as covered in various outlets such as VICE. Recently Vitalik Buterin and Aubrey de Grey also discussed these donations in a video interview hosted by VitaDAO.
