Yeah, I have the same issue - I cannot use Paypal nor IBAN to donate to KDE, but I have money in crypto that I could've donated them, but I literally cannot. Too bad the German laws are set up this way (https://kde.org/community/donations/others/ - "KDE e.V. does not accept donations of "crypto" coins: Bitcoin, Etherium, Litecoin, Dogecoin, and all the others. The tax regime that covers German non-profit associations considers those coins a form of speculation which would endanger our non-profit status, so regretfully you cannot donate them directly. Cash out and then use a traditional method to donate.")
