No noble cause. No fake promise. Just 1 EURC, once, onchain — with no strings attached.
Who receives it?
MATTEO TERENZIO
Founder and proposed recipient. The site is live, but gifts are not yet open.
When live: one wallet address gives exactly 1 EURC once. The recipient keeps it. You receive nothing of economic value — only a symbolic number. That is the entire experiment.
The question: would one million strangers each voluntarily give Matteo Terenzio 1 EURC, receiving nothing in return? The rule: one wallet address = one EURC, one time. A wallet address is not a person, and no donor is identified or certified as a human.
There is no noble purpose here, and that is deliberate. A cause would make the question easier to answer and therefore less interesting. The experiment only works if the 1 EURC buys nothing at all.
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.

EURC is a euro-denominated electronic-money token issued by a third party. It is not cash and not a bank deposit. Gross means accepted gifts × 1 EURC. Redemption or conversion, network, custody, operating and tax costs may reduce net euro proceeds, which stay unknown until real accounting data exists. 1,000,000 EURC gross is never a guaranteed €1,000,000 net.
