Why give it away? Could be spent on some pretty amazing projects that would otherwise not happen, with enough imagination.

I understand your reasoning, but (assuming this is true, and the person indeed owns such amount) it is the person's bitcoins to do with them as pleases, no?
Major corporations, pop culture and human nature all vying to get an individual to spend recklessly and in gratuitous ways, but let's not allow any force of good to use similar tactics.

We can't suggest to someone how to spend their money despite every facet of society doing exactly that.

Sure, but that doesn't mean we can't criticize the choices made.
Like what do you mean?
