Waaay early on when cryptocurrencies were regarded as being possible alternative currencies it may have made sense, but now as they appear to have become more like extremely questionable investment products/securities, I’m left confused why anyone still has donation links for them alongside alternatives that provide, y’know, usable money (e.g. Ko-fi/Liberapay/etc.).
Are the donation links I’m seeing just a web artifact like the occasional Google+ share icon on some sites, or is there something more at play?
Well yea. Money is a unit of denomination, a means to transact, and a store of value. Crypto is none of those three
It is if at least two people say it is. Rocks with holes in them were money once, but nobody today would agree it is so today it isn’t. If say least two people agree that something is money then it is by definition regardless of what a Wall Street sociopath says.
