You see, this is the problem, and the example of Wikipedia is a good one.
Everyone comments here and there that it's "wonderful" and a big step when a company accepts Bitcoin. It's all well and good, but the reality is nobody uses it. In terms of return on investment, why would a company bother adding an option if nobody uses it?
So it may be great to start by admitting that most people are only interested in crypto for speculation. And a lot of you here too.
That's not the purpose of a cryptocurrency at all. Everything else (technology, decentralization, privacy) people don't care about at all. By the way,
Cryptocurrency investors are psychopaths, study finds If you think Amazon for example will start to add BTC as a payment option I can tell you the Apocalypse will be faster to come. There are very few places where people actually use it, such as i.e. Venezuela with its inflation, the Iranian government, or other countries seeking to evade economic sanctions...If we remove the reasons for politics, geopolitics, and economics, what is left? Almost nothing.
According to the 2021 financial year, the donations in bitcoins represented a value of
only 0.08% of the foundation's revenues
the community has been voting on the issue since January 2022
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Stop_accepting_cryptocurrency_donations#VotingOver 70% voted to stop accepting cryptocurrencies for the donations (unsigned contributions and new accounts were not taken into account to avoid attempts to manipulate votes)
And as donations have been possible since 2014 or 2015, I think people have had enough time to do something. It's a bit sad for Wikipedia, personally, it's one of my favorite sites where I can spend hours on it
You can buy stuff from Amazon with Bitcoin today. You even get a discount.
Not directly, but through 3rd party websites, like
https://purse.io/shop for example. Their business model is to match Amazon gift card owners with people that want to buy in Amazon with Bitcoin:
Purse matches Amazon Gift Card holders with Shoppers. Shoppers receive a discount and Earners receive cryptocurrency.
