Firefox Now Accepts Dogecoin Via BitPay But Is This All?
2022-01-07 | Daniel Smith
The Mozilla Foundation, a not-for-profit organization based in San Francisco that promotes the creation of the Firefox browser, has revealed that it would receive payments in Dogecoin (DOGE) via BitPay. Whilst the general public was not pleased, the harshest critic was nobody except one of the company's co-founders.
The Co-Founder of Mozilla is Not a Supporter of Cryptocurrency
Jamie Zawinsk, or JWZ, attacked the browser manufacturer on Twitter for taking "planet incinerating cryptocurrency payments." His scathing statements are motivated by the ecological effect of these digital goods, which is a typical critique.
JWZ co-created Mozzila in 1998 and invented the moniker "Mozilla" despite abandoning the venture a year afterward. In 2004, Mozilla released the renowned Firefox browser.
It was not till a decade afterward, though, that it began taking crypto contributions through Coinbase. During the next few years, Mozilla added other cryptos for donations, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, Litecoin, and others.
"A Lord Damned Planet Assassin"
Zawinski presently possesses a nightclub. But it hasn't prevented the ex-programmer from being involved in the computer sector. In addition, he has a Dunning-Krugerrands category on his site for pieces on bitcoin.
He also had some scathing comments for the cryptocurrency business. Zawinski writes in some of his blogs that the cryptocurrency sector's business strategy is "implausible and ham-handed if it were a monster on Captain Planet: they make just POLLUTION, nothing more, and they transform that into money."
