WPT Live Streamed Ryan Blank as OCM Holder Donates Winnings to Charity

In the fast-paced world of cryptocurrency, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement of buying and selling digital assets. But for Ryan, a recent purchase of an Onchainmonkey NFT from their Karma collection inspired him to give back to a charity close to his heart.

Ryan Blank, known on Twitter as @rwb_monkey, decided to donate 5% of his winnings from the @HCLPokerShow to the A-T Children's Project, a charity dedicated to finding a cure for the rare genetic disease ataxia-telangiectasia. This disease affects children and causes problems with movement, immune function, and a higher risk of cancer.

The A-T Children's Project is currently the focus of a 10-week charity event from MonkeyMisFit, the fitness subcommunity of Onchainmonkey. The funds raised will go towards raising awareness, research, and hopefully, a cure for this devastating disease.



Ryan's donation was a demonstration of willpower and good timing, as he won over $100,000 in a seven-hour livestream of the @HCLPokerShow. The livestream is available on YouTube for those who want to watch Ryan's impressive poker skills.

During the livestream, Ryan was gifted an Onchainmonkey hat and kept it with him on the table for most of the night. The Onchainmonkey project's "give-to-earn" concept was on full display, and Ryan's donation is just one example of how the community is using their digital assets for good.

Led by legendary investor Bill Tai, blockchain engineer and Stanford PhD Danny Yang, and Wharton/Princeton graduate Amanda Terry, the Onchainmonkey project has accomplished a lot since its launch on September 11th, 2021. The project was launched as a free mint and a single transaction on the Ethereum blockchain, and it has since gained a loyal following of supporters.

The project has arranged for the rescue of Sharbat Gula, the Afghan girl who was famously photographed on the cover of National Geographic in 1984. They have also funded coral reef restoration, aid for Ukraine, aid for those impacted by typhoons in the Philippines, and even a skatepark renovation in Brazil.

One of the project's most impressive achievements was the launch of the first 10K collection on the Bitcoin blockchain, done in an efficient single transaction. They also recently announced a partnership with luxury brand Asprey and supercar manufacturer Bugatti.

Ryan is the proud owner of Karma Monkey #3612, which is wearing the OCM Hoodie (clothes trait 11) and is part of the OCM Hoodie Club. He is just one of many members of the Onchainmonkey community who are using their digital assets to make a difference in the world.

In a world where cryptocurrency can often seem inaccessible and exclusive, the Onchainmonkey project is breaking down barriers and showing that digital assets can be used for good. Ryan's donation to the A-T Children's Project is a reminder that even small gestures can make a big difference in the lives of others.

As the Onchainmonkey project continues to grow and expand its reach, we can only imagine the positive impact it will have on the world. Whether it's through funding charitable causes or inspiring acts of generosity, the Onchainmonkey community is proving that the future of cryptocurrency is bright.
