    The climbers brought one of the Ledgers back down, and its $50,000 in tokens will be raffled off to whitelisted members, those who have pre-registered for the ICO. They left the other Ledger with $50,000 in tokens buried somewhere on the summit. In a slightly unnerving, robotically-narrated video promoting the stunt, ASKfm encourages crypto enthusiasts: “If you’re brave enough, go get them.”

Fuck everything about this. It's morally reprehensible, irresponsible, and naive to even consider doing something like this.
