I've been noticing how a surprising number of non-bitcoin related projects accept #bitcoin donations. FreeBSD does, as does RetroPie (a custom OS for playing retro games on a Raspberry Pi). And they're often BTC only, no shitcoins. Actually pretty encouraging to see adoption by non-cypherpunk types.

It's a shame that Wikipedia stopped accepting it. I've donated to them in the past so I still get nag emails from them - I reply to them every time along the lines of "accept bitcoin and I'll gladly send you some sats every month". I did actually get a reply last time and they pointed out that it was a vote of community members that basically told the Foundation to stop accepting "crypto" donations (71% of votes!). If you view the discussion (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Stop_accepting_cryptocurrency_donations) pretty much all the arguments were environmental. We really need to get on top of the mining energy use narrative.

Don't donate to Wikipedia, the Wikimedia foundation has apparently started some years back redirecting funds to various DEI/"woke" grifting projects or entities. Their begging methods have also gotten pretty aggressive.
