The problem is wiki is going to sell those bitcoin and push down the market...

That sucks! Then people will buy cheaper bitcoins to spend, thus allowing other entities to amass bitcoins via their sales, selling those off, further decreasing the price, where soon everybody will be using them and bitcoins won't be worth a damn thing. Somebody needs to stop this madness of spending bitcoins otherwise...  Roll Eyes

It's hidden in there in "other ways to donate" and apparently they got 140k (in dollars) worth of BTC just on the first week they started accepting it.


That's good news. Hope the donations won't decrease with time, after the hype fades away

How much they get from the other means of contribution, just for comparasion.

Yeah they have been accepting it for a while now and it was pretty big news on reddit and this forum there was a lot of discussion about it on this forum which lasted a few weeks surprised that you missed it.

It's Money 2.0| It’s gold for nerds | It's Bitcoin
Yeah it was an extremely big headline on /r/bitcoin

Lets hope that people will keep donating, so that wikipedia don't kill that option, because the demand is so low.

Life is a taxable event
I somehow missed the news that Wikipedia now accepts bitcoin donations.

It's hidden in there in "other ways to donate" and apparently they got 140k (in dollars) worth of BTC just on the first week they started accepting it.
