So the majority of crypto donations were from Ukrainians on Kuna exchange; hardly a prime example of global crypto's good will. Also $100M is kind of small when you consider it next to the $14B congress has promissed to Ukraine. Then consider the total $1.5T sticker price of the congressional spending bill that $14B was a part of and it all seems insignificant.
In short we can and should give more to Ukraine.
- SilasX 5y agoThe $14B is slow and probably won't make it to individual Ukrainians. So, like in the original charge, you're stuck in the position of having to trivialize $100M in aid because ... well, other modes are helping too, and this isn't a "prime example". >In short we can and should give more to Ukraine. And this is a way to give direct aid, something you ostensibly want, and yet you're stuck saying crypto doesn't count, somehow. It seems a less epicyclic approach is to just accept that this is a valid use case rather than finding a way to out-argue it.
