There are projects that are fair, were fairly distributed, that work and are secure, that are feeless and instant, all while being truly decentralized. Everything that Bitcoin promised to be and wasn't.
So, when the scams die out the best projects willl still exist. It doesn't matter how much of their own face Wikipedia cuts off, but it's sad to see them do it.
Are we speaking relative to fiat here? .... Lol.
Besides, there were many attempts at fair distributions, so you're simply wrong there. My favorite, Nano, distributed small amounts to people who solved captchas between 2015 and 2017.
But so far crypto has created wealth inequality which is way worse than that in fiat. Yes, there have been attempts at fair distribution, but to re-iterate my point above, they would need to spread distribution over a long timespan (gold has been distributed over millenia).
Name two?
Its probably one of the most used cryptocurrencies for normal transactions, as most darkweb marketplaces use it.

For some abnormal definition of "normal", ok.
Block lattice tech is very cool. It's been around for over 6 years now, but even here, people seem not to realize that it exists and is fully functional.
> Man, there's a baby in that bathwater
It takes a special kind of thinking to insist "yeah, crypto currencies are about 98% scammy, but there must be good in the last 2%!, I've just seen 98 scams in a row, this _increases_ the odds that the next 2 that I see are legit!"
Well,
* no it does not increase the odds, this is desperate wishful thinking clinging to a fixed belief
* what if there is no baby, only bathwater? And where does the burden of proof that there is a baby or not, lie?
Look up block lattice tech - it's powerful stuff.

I think we can all agree that wikimedia is a net positive in the world.

Should Wikimedia take funds from the Kremlin, North Korea and Drug cartels, or should they have limits on ethical sources of funding?
You don't have to answer what you would do, but it is 100% legitimate for them to choose to have clear, written guidelines on what funds they ethically agree to accept.
