Wikipedia always asking for donations, but present few mainstream options..
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I’m sure quite a few people here use Wikipedia on a regular basis. It’s a great resource, some might consider it a public utility to a degree. I certainly find value in it.</p> <p>They have constant run donation campaigns over the years, but every so often the red boxed text message comes up at the top of the screen asking for $2.75 to support Wikipedia. It’s up right now.</p> <p>When I went to their donation page, I was met with 4 major credit card options, PayPal, and Amazon Pay.</p> <p><a href="https://donate.wikimedia.org">https://donate.wikimedia.org</a></p> <p>Isn’t it a bit strange they aren’t at least accepting a handful of cryptos? I haven’t looked too deeply into this, but I’ve seen people reference the fact that Wikipedia doesn’t take crypto donations.</p> <p>Does anybody know what’s up with this? Please drop links to the history if there is any. I know it’s not the easiest to manage, but I’d bet Wikipedia gets a bunch more donations if they offer crypto as a donation on their main page.</p> <p>I think you can donate using crypto through a different webpage, but it wasn’t immediately easy to find.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/brows1ng"> /u/brows1ng </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/kh2sh7/wikipedia_always_asking_for_donations_but_present/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/kh2sh7/wikipedia_always_asking_for_donations_but_present/">[comments]</a></span>Kind Regards R
