BLOCKCHAIN SOCIAL EXPERIMENT · SITE LIVE · GIFTS NOT YET OPEN
Can one million
strangers make
one stranger a
millionaire?
No wallet connection or transfer. See how the proposed gift would work.
THE ONE-TIME RULE
ONE WALLET ADDRESS = ONE EURO
ONE TIME.
When gifts open, only the first valid transfer worth exactly €1 at confirmation from a wallet address counts. Later transfers from the same address never receive another number. One person can control many wallets; nobody is identified or certified as a human.
1,000,000 WALLET ADDRESSES × €1 = €1,000,000
This rule will apply when gifts open. No transfers are currently accepted.
No noble cause. No fake promise. Just €1 equivalent, once, onchain — with no strings attached.
When live: one wallet address gives crypto worth exactly €1 at confirmation, once. The recipient keeps it. You receive nothing of economic value — only a symbolic number. That is the entire experiment.
The number counts accepted €1-equivalent gifts from distinct wallet addresses — not people. A wallet address is not a person. One person can control many wallets. The project does not identify, verify or certify humans; it only counts the first valid €1-equivalent transfer from each wallet address.
Wait. Seriously?
Yes — eventually, and only as a gift.
This is the social experiment: will a million strangers choose to make one voluntary onchain gift worth exactly €1 through a supported crypto rail to one private individual, receiving nothing back? When gifts open, the rule is one wallet address, one euro, one time. That is all of it.
Not a purchase, price, fee or service. Not a subscription or membership. Not charity and not tax-deductible. Not an investment, loan, deposit, equity or token issuance. Not a lottery. Right now nothing is collected and nothing is promised.
Supported crypto assets and networks are third-party payment rails, not cash or bank deposits. Gross reference value means accepted gifts × €1 at quote/confirmation. Crypto price movement, conversion, network, custody, operating and tax costs may reduce net euro proceeds, which stay unknown until real accounting data exists. €1,000,000 gross reference value is never a guaranteed €1,000,000 net. Blockchain transactions are public and pseudonymous.

Gross reference value is accepted, non-returned gifts × €1 at quote/confirmation. Crypto price movement, conversion, network, custody, operating and tax costs can reduce net euro proceeds, which are not published yet. The count reflects accepted gifts and symbolic numbers, not identity-verified unique people.
FOUNDER AND PROPOSED RECIPIENT
Matteo Terenzio
Publicly identified. Not a charity, cause or investment story: the experiment asks whether strangers will give exactly €1 equivalent while receiving nothing in return.
About Matteo and the experiment →First milestone
1
No milestone has been reached. 1,000,000 symbolic numbers are unassigned, which is all of them. The target may never be reached.
The Million Wall
A view of at most 1,000,000 symbolic numbers. 0 accepted, 1,000,000 unassigned. A number is symbolic only: nothing is bought, owned, sold or reserved.
Obvious questions
- Can I give now?
- No. No gifts are accepted, and no number can be reserved.
- Why would I give €1 equivalent?
- Only if the question amuses you. It is a voluntary personal gift to one private individual, given in exchange for nothing.
- What do I get?
- Nothing of economic or contractual value — only a symbolic sequential number as an acknowledgement.
- Is it charity or tax-deductible?
- No. It is a personal gift to an individual, neither.
- Is it a purchase, service or investment?
- No. And not a lottery or prize entry either.
- Does one million accepted gifts guarantee €1,000,000 net?
- No. €1,000,000 would be the gross reference value at quote/confirmation. Crypto price movement, conversion, network, custody, operating and tax costs can reduce net euro proceeds, and the target may never be reached.
This might be the dumbest experiment on the Internet. That's why it might work.
It has not started. Any net proceeds become the recipient's personal assets and may be used at their sole discretion. There is no earmarking and no promised use. Gross reference value means accepted gifts × €1 at quote/confirmation. Crypto price movement, conversion, network, custody, operating and tax costs may reduce net euro proceeds, which stay unknown until real accounting data exists. €1,000,000 gross reference value is never a guaranteed €1,000,000 net.
