donations, even if you ignore the currency type. is a flawed income generation model.

even these mainstream news sites try to avoid putting up a 'paywall' but then do a donate request. they dont get much and thats from a national fiat currency.
donations of bitcoin in the past were much higher. but that was in the time where people didnt think it would surpass $20. now people are afraid to donate and even afraid to spend bitcoin because they feel if they donate/buy coffee this year, they could have used that exact amount of satoshis to 'buy a lambo' in 2 years.

if people want income. there are many other better ways to get it

Because it's an option. Why bar yourself from potential free money? There's always a chance that somebody will find your site so useful that they will donate a couple dollars in Bitcoin and putting an address out there doesn't cost you anything. Money is money, I don't see why somebody would be willing to donate ETH but not BTC.

there is

by accepting altcoin donations they give value to the altcoins,

i have seen so far some websites that take ETH and Waves donations but not bitcoin since they dont get any bitcoin donations anymore like it was more likely in the past

these days people have a lot of useless shitcoins in their wallets like ethereum so they can throw them away much easier than throwing away the valuable bitcoin that is why they donate ethereum, dogecoin,... more than they donate bitcoin. they want to keep the valuable and give away the useless

I don't think that Bitcoin donations should be considered income, but as far as I know there is a world with a hard business plan, but donations are intended to support beginners because they encourage them and that shows them that Bitcoin really has value and something.

What do you mean? Pretty much every cryptocurrency that's in existence today is mostly speculation. Bitcoin is still most likely the most donated coin, as most sites that accepts donations in crypto accepts bitcoin only and bitcoin still has the most adoption, even compared to all the other cryptocurrencies combined.

i think its just a matter of time, till the public will take the bitcoin sect to justice.

when the us dollar dies, people wont calculate their contracts in bitcoins, or their work, like they did with us dollar,

then altcoins will have completely different evaluation,

it will be then an important moment, when the pow nonsense starts to disappear again

Bitcoin donations are the same way as any other donations, accepted only in the purpose of raising money for the thing that you are contributing in the Global welfare, or just some useful tips that you are giving, whatever you are doing well.

I have also donated some of my cryptocurrency in my early days and that really increased many people to learn more about cryptocurrency. I don't think that Bitcoin donations should be considered income, but I know that there is a world with cruel business plans, but donations are intended to support beginners because they encourage them and that shows them that Bitcoin really has value

What's the point of any donations? Many people do donate bitcoin. Just because you don't doesn't mean nobody else does. I think donating money in general is rare these days though, because most people don't want to give their hard earned cash (or coins) away, but I see a fair few youtubers with crypto addresses in their descriptions boxes and if you check the addresses oftentimes they will have been sent something. I think women tend to get more donations than men though (and that's usually the case with online donations), but fans of bitcoin do tend to show their appreciation of other people also accepting it and send some money their way. Even if no money is actually donated then I still think having the donation addresses there spreads awareness or interest so it's all good.
