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?
Even small donations like .00001 BTC or .01 ETH
It depend on the purpose the project plans to achieve. If it is entirely for charity, then donation is a welcomed idea but otherwise, that will not be feasible. Everyone wants to make profit and you can't tell people to donate and not get something in return for projects that is supposed to yield huge profit to the developers
