Depending on where users are located, it might be the only realistic option they have if they want to donate. Besides, traditional payment systems like PayPal, MasterCard, Visa etc are all problematic in their own right.
Could you give us an example of such a location please?
Whataboutism fallacy.
Russia, which is blocked from other international payment systems. Or any other authoritarian country where you might not necessarily want the government to know where you donate your money to.
We're still throwing around fallacies like it's 2010? Okay, I cast fallacy fallacy!
When talking about whether a dopnation button should have a specific payment option, it's relevant if the alternatives it offers are better or worse. Otherwise, the argument might as well be to not have a donation option at all.
