Wikimedia Foundation stops accepting crypto donations, citing environmental concerns (via MManoylov)
Between January and April of 2022, the Wikimedia Foundation discussed whether to keep or remove accepting cryptocurrency donations.
The proposal to remove the WMF’s use of cryptocurrency first appeared on January 11. “Accepting cryptocurrency makes a joke out of the WMF's commitment to environmental sustainability," wrote a pseudonymous editor named Gamaliel on January 11, 2022. Those in favor of keeping crypto donations argued for the use of less energy-intensive cryptocurrencies such as those that run on proof-of-stake consensus, noted cryptocurrencies “provide safer ways to donate and engage in finance for people in oppressive countries,” and mentioned fiat currency also has environmental sustainability issues.
