Edit: After seeing the bandwagon, dogpiling reaction from the community for simply trying to donate, I wont bother donating to this project even if they support cryptocurrencies.

Good job, assholes.

You can donate to Godot without making an account too, that's only needed if you want to make a recurrent donations (through their system)

I didn't even mention a specific coin.

Not a specific coin no, but to another you did write "If Godot accepted cryptocurrencies I use, then I would donate to them." in another reply. Perhaps you didn't intend to limit it specifically to the currencies you already use, but just crypto in general?

On a philosophical note, cryptocurrencies can free us from the control of banks. That lack of centralization should be appealing to people in the free software community.

Sure in a broad general sense that might be achievable, but useful adoption levels of crypto is nowhere near possible for the foreseeable future so why let that stop you from supporting? It honestly just sound like a bad excuse or, as someone else mentioned already, just peddling crypto for the sake of it.

Yeah, no. When you have more life experience, you'll realize why it makes sense to make it as easy as possible to donate. The people at Blender understand, which is why they got my donation.

There is literally no downside to supporting cryptocurrencies. But the snowball effect has taken hold and now Godot is going to lose money for it.

Good job doing your part to fit in with the crowd at the expense of pragmatism.

I'm gonna block you now because it's clear you're responding to justify your disdain for crypto and bangwagon mentality.
