The Pineapple Fund has done what it set out to do and is concluding its activities. Going out in style, he/she/it/they continue to remain more or less anonymous.
In December 2017, the Pineapple Fund was set up by an unknown individual with the intention of giving cryptocurrency donations around the world. It has also been claimed to be among the 250 largest holders of Bitcoin in the world. Known simply as 'Pine', the anonymous person announced via Reddit last year that they were setting up the Pineapple Fund to donate 5,057 BTC, worth about $86 million at the time, to charitable causes.

Then you need to extend your reading a little outside the 'everything you cannot prove doesn't cause austism causes austism' kook circles I am afraid.
Your need for Iodine is highly variable, and depending on your diet it is possible to receive basically zero in many areas of the world.
Your body is very good at handling an excess of Iodine, in fact if it was not then many area of asia would suffer from huge medical issues, which they do not.
Perhaps you should go and research the impact of iodisation of salt (dont to fight a very real disease at the time) on average IQ..
And no, you dont have a god damn clue about what you are talking about with salt. The levels present are suitably low, and the effect on flavour would be orders of magnitude below the levels of impurities you find in just about any of the 'natural' salts people appear to love.
Your other 'uses' are just meaningless handwaving with no actual real application, just 'wouldnt it be nice'isms.
Iodine has a specific scientifically measured positive effect for certain areas (due to it being missing from local food chains) for a very low investment.
It has a long term positive effect on the basic intelligence of children growing up in these regions.
And it is almost free.
