You're right about ordering goods and not having a recourse if they're not delivered. Of course in the case of supporting an organization that will be less of a consideration.

In the case of needing to know an address it's much different to give out an arbitrary string of numbers as an address than information which represents your physical location.

No disagreement that there are myriad examples of problematic uses for crypto. My first comment was in response to the question about what are valid use cases. It seems clear there are some, even if it's not as universal as some true believers claim.
