Misleading title. Headline is
“Ukraine’s Crypto Banker Describes How War Is Changing His Life”
Crypto is saving zero lives in Ukraine and all this guy is doing is profiting from war and fear.
- ca98am79 4y agoHe literally says: "Now there is no skepticism because they understand that we save lives every single minute with crypto. You can try to ignore it, but you cannot ignore when their families are actually fed with crypto, or when the soldiers are dressed in bulletproof vests and helmets with crypto."
- goalieca 4y agoThe Russian government is bypassing sanctions with crypto.

You can try to ignore it, but you cannot ignore when their families are actually fed with crypto, or when the soldiers are dressed in bulletproof vests and helmets with crypto." But that has nothing to do with cryptocurrency, specifically. If there's any truth to what he says, it's more true of National Bank of Ukraine Special Account UA843000010000000047330992708 [1].

- rvz 4y agoShall we also go to Afghanistan and talk to the hungry afghans about how they are able to receive USDC stablecoins and exchange it for their currency so they can eat and not starve to death?

- SpodGaju 4y agoThe article was not about Afghanistan. But we can talk about how the U.S. is creating the sanctions in Afghanistan. And we can also talk about how Russia is using Crypto to get around sanctions. All crypto does is make money for the gatekeepers of crypto and profit off of war, sanction, and fear. Crypto solves zero problems, it only profits off of the problems governments create.
- ca98am79 4y agoI don’t understand how you can read that crypto donations are helping to feed Ukrainian refugee families and say “all crypto does is make money for the gatekeepers .. and profit off of war…” It is literally saving lives…
- rvz 4y ago> But we can talk about how the U.S. is creating the sanctions in Afghanistan. And we can also talk about how Russia is using Crypto to get around sanctions. So should we ban it then since anyone can get around sanctions using it? Might as well ban encryption then. /s > All crypto does is make money for the gatekeepers of crypto and profit off of war, sanction, and fear. Crypto solves zero problems, it only profits off of the problems governments create. Care to elaborate? What would do you suggest then for those who are in countries like Ukraine or Afghanistan then?
- SpodGaju 4y ago> So should we ban it then since anyone can get around sanctions using it? Might as well ban encryption then. /s Encryption has no middle man and is free, and unlike cypto, you are untraceable. So no idea ho you can compare the two > What would do you suggest then for those who are in countries like Ukraine or Afghanistan then? A good start would be instigating peace and not war. Stop having the US fight these proxy resource wars by destabilizing them and trying to put in our puppet leaders.
