Accepting cryptocurrencies is not neutral neither.

Neutral hardly exists.

accepting bitcoin is as legal and regulated as banks and paypal.

as if banks don't spend billions in pointless air travel and (empty in past 2 years) concrete highrises. When WP goes down the ideological rabbit hole everyone loses.

maybe someone will follow up with an RFC to remove banks

Then paypal

It seems pretty clear that ethics, not legality, was the main consideration here.

Accepting bushels of corn is also legal, but why would Wikipedia want to get into the business of accepting them?
