Bitcoin isn't illegal (yet), therefore why not apply for a donation? However I support the idea of declaring it illegal. It was developped as an interesting experiment. But, it now serves speculation (as any other currency) and illegal activities like fiscal fraud and racket.

It is now common that companies are attacked by hackers who encrypt their data and ask for bitcoins to send the encrypting key. This is what I call racket. For fiscal fraud, Bitcoin is the instrument of the future. Governements have been claiming for years that they would fight fiscal heavens, but didn't do it seriously because their own families and friends use them.They'll do it happily once they trust bitcoin enough to convert their funds to it.

So if they asked for US dollars or Euros instead of Bitcoins you would not still call it racket? Why it becomes racket only if cryprocurrency is involved? I know, the narrative of the governments is that "bitcoin cannot be controlled, hence it must be illegal", but the same holds for the Internet then. We should be careful of what we wish...
