I completely understand where you're coming from. It's indeed perplexing that more organizations, especially those within the FOSS community, haven't embraced Bitcoin given its alignment with the principles of decentralization and privacy. The slow uptake could be due to a variety of reasons, ranging from regulatory concerns to a simple lack of understanding of how to integrate cryptocurrency into their financial operations.

Your proactive approach in reaching out to these organizations, offering help to set up Bitcoin donations, and even making your future business conditional on their acceptance of Bitcoin is a commendable strategy. It's not just about providing a new payment option but also about advocating for the adoption of a technology you believe in.

The cycle you've described, where consumers don't pay with Bitcoin because businesses don't accept it, and businesses don’t accept it because consumers don't pay with it, is a catch-22 that needs to be broken. Your personal policy of supporting businesses that accept Bitcoin, like Mullvad for VPN services, is a step towards normalizing Bitcoin transactions. It sends a signal to the market that there is a real demand for cryptocurrency as a payment method.

Persistence is key in such situations. Every retailer you convince to consider Bitcoin, every friend you educate about its benefits, contributes to a larger movement towards broader acceptance. It may take time, but with enough voices like yours advocating for change, the market will have to respond. After all, the customer's voice is powerful, and businesses will eventually have to adapt to where the demand leads. Your actions and policies could be part of the catalyst that drives wider adoption in the future.
