Instead of running an ico and giving out worthless tokens, what if an open sourced project ran completely on donations from the community. Would you donate if you believed in it and felt it was needed in the crypto space?
most projects are profit oriented, so they run ICO to round up investor funds
all investors are also profit oriented, otherwise they wouldn't be called
'investors'so we are all in this for some profits, not for some kind of charity project
If the project is indeed a non-profit project, which I doubt it, then yes people might donate
