> compensating the work that went into creating digital goods seems appropriate. Should compensation for digital goods be through donations? I consume digital goods all the time, and I pay for them with money. Money is an inflationary asset that I keep in order to pay people. It is not an investment, it's value (in my country, the US) is stable, and I get paid in money. There is no cryptocurrency that shares these characteristics and there never will be as long as people try to pitch it as both deflationary (good investment) and spendable.
