Now I'm curious about the stats of percentage of Bitcoin donations in various organizations. Wikipedia is a very big and very mainstream organization, so it makes sense that Bitcoin donations are just 0.08%. I would assume that percentage is higher in situations when it's harder to deliver money, like donating to political dissidents in Russia, China, Belarus. Bitcoin shines when other options are hard to use, and such cases are rare in stable, free and peaceful parts of the world.

Nobody says that the Wikipedia team is stupid for abandoning BTC donations.
The guys and girls behind Wikipedia can do whatever they want,when it comes to using payment methods for accepting donations.Acting butthurt just because some website decided to dump crypto payments seems really immature.
How many of the Wikipedia users are young people,who are actively using cryptocurrencies?Not that much,if you ask me.I don't have valid statistical data,but I assume that more than 90% of the Wikipedia users are boomers,who wouldn't even touch Bitcoin with a ten meter stick.
And yes,the shitcoin/NFT investors are psychopaths.

The story of amazon accepting bitcoin and cryptocurrency payments is pretty old and since there are many people demanding this, I'm not surprised if that's to happen soon but since there ear some regulation and adoption issues about amazon accepting this payment method I think this will take some times and there will need some regulation before doing this, but in the case of Wikipedia, since I was expecting to see more people and more donation via bitcoin, I guess that's normal to see them stopped accepting bitcoin payments for their donations.

I think you raise some very good points and I'm not sure the crypto market will ever be big enough to support what the relative minority here are looking to get. Until Bitcoin can become instant, rather than relying on multiple confirmations, there will always be a faster payment network out there and in the age of instant gratification that will be unbeatable. Maybe exchange wallets will allow that sort of functionality, but again that defeats the point of having a separate decentralized network. Energy usage is also an ongoing concern in a world where oil is funding warmongers, so anything that is inefficient will naturally have to be left behind and that is the very basis for solving the puzzles to unlock new Bitcoin.

AFAIK, Wikipedia only generate income via donations even in the last year or before Wikipedia asked the people to donate funds publicly because they ran out if funds to run the site. Its new to me that they own a media company and making money from it as well but basically they didn't get enough money with bitcoin as they expected so they stopped accepting it for now but who knows in future the things will be changed.

They are receiving donations but it is not their main income. Their main income is around $157 million and is earned through goods sales and investments. The donations are actually a very tiny bit of their whole revenue.

That was actually a very controversial fundraising that raised a lot of questions that where they hell are they spending all this money since they already earn a ton of it.

I wouldn't be too quick to jump into conclusion about why they stopped accepting bitcoin. After all Wikimedia Foundation is located in US and we all know they have to answer to an authoritarian regime that is known to be the biggest enemy of privacy and more importantly anything that can threaten the dollar's dominance. #carrotcountry 'nough said...

The real-time usage is quite low which is the truth. In terms of acceptance it is possible to see a good number of stores and services accepting bitcoin, but those were happening through an intermediary which instantly convert bitcoin paid by the consumer to the seller in terms of fiat. As in the OP when large scale companies make their entry, it turns to be a big news. In reality thats just a form of speculation and it is an investment for the company. Maybe things can change in the future.

as some have mentioned. comparing donations of one currency. vs complete revenue of all currencies is a flawed measure.
with merchandise and other investments this already makes revenues a larger number than donations(of any currency)

however there are multiple reasons why businesses over the last 7 years have been dropping bitcoin acceptance.
the false promises of cheap easy payments or then offering alternative networks as the stupid solution to the stifled code that prevents bitcoin payments..

yep bitcoin was a currency for the unbanked where even poor countries could afford the fee's in 2009-2015.. but bitcoin has moved away from a currency proposition and now flipped over to a 'reserve' system where certain idiots want to stop bitcoin being used by the masses and instead keep it in-house to the elitist to then use other networks for the average user.
..
people only want to donate $1-$5 most of the time. and guess what. certain idiots dont want bitcoin to handle $1-$5 payments. they instead want people to use other networks to do that sort of payment. so i am not surprised that retailers and services asking for donations are dropping bitcoin

we need to get back to concentrating on innovating/scaling BITCOIN(not to be confused with altnets pretending to be bitcoin). we need to get back to making bitcoin a currency that is made to help the unbanked and people to use bitcoin daily.

if people dont want to donate due to the fee's being $1+ .. then people also need to realise that bitcoin is not useful for the BILLIONS of people where $1 is a days wage..

and no this is not an opportunity for certain silly people to advertise their altnets for retailers/services to use instead, this is a chance for people to WAKE UP and realise the altnet supporters are loving that bitcoin is losing utility and to instead of joining the altnet idiots.. actually try to proposition the bitcoin devs to do something about bitcoin

The stopping of bitcoin acceptance by Wikipedia is once again confirmed. The organization believes that the two largest proof of work cryptocurrency bitcoin and ethereum will serve as a threat to the environmental sustainability goals of the foundation. The largest cryptocurrency consumes 204.5 terawatt-hours of electricity per year. Wikipedia have received a very simple amount of 0.08% and that's the reason why bitcoin acceptance is no more.
