Next month we're going to be launching Bitcoin education classes in Argentina. We'd love it if you'd consider us. We're working with Mi Primer Bitcoin.
Wouldn't supporting runwithbitcoin be donating in the classical sense? I am donating money to him to support him. Same thing with Opensats. I donate sats to support projects I believe in. My incentives may be somewhat "selfish" in that I own bitcoin and want bitcoin to succeed. It isn't going against incentives to give away your bitcoin for these projects. In fact, my incentives are to promote the network as best I can so that it can grow stronger and step up to become the world's money.
However, the current version of donation to bitcoin projects is different than what it will evolve into. Currently, most of the bitcoin donations are to improve aspects of bitcoin through education, increased adoption, supporting developers, supporting research/legislation, etc, etc. They are all directly involved in promoting bitcoin rather than just using bitcoin as the currency for some other project.
Eventually, once bitcoin does catch on as the world's currency, then donations will be for similar things that people donate to now, just that the currency will be denominated in BTC rather than fiat.
There's a few good ones in Geyser atm that would benefit from a few donations
I donate via geyser so many projects. Also to get Zeus wallet team. I am an Olympian there 😌
Nice! I'm a mortal!

tails and tor project are also in need of donations
I've donated to a few geyser projects.
Not related, but when ea initially started I did that one year in an attempt to understand what financial charity would feel like.
Oh and @opensats. I think also @brink during that last matching period.

Effective Altruism
I can't help thinking of SBF any time I hear Effective Altruism.

Seemed like an efficient way to give at the time. I think I donated to a fortified sugar project and another for mosquito nets.
I haven't followed the drama since.
Thanks @birdeye21. I can't find the button to forward my forwarded sats to Anita in our nice circular internal economy!
keep em, you earned them! If not, I'm sure they'll circle around to the right people on here eventually
That would be a nice feature!

I've donated some sats to Alby's bounty program.
Not to many actually.... I'll pay attention more on this...
I donated to Dorian’s address when he was falsely accused of being Satoshi.
SHOULD we donate to Bitcoin projects? Bitcoin is a monetary system that is build on incentives - why should we do something against incentives.
So no, there is no "donating" in the classical sense
