Just before New Year's, Mozilla posted a tweet talking about how they're going to accept cryptocurrency as a donation method, and a lot of people in the replies are very upset about it. Jamie Zawinski, a Mozilla founder, has also directly responded to it.

What's your thoughts on this?

Ah yes, Bitcoin is so decentralized only large institutions can afford to use it!

I meant decentralized as in there's no company or organisation behind Bitcoin, but yes, it's very cost prohibitive.
