This is a profound opportunity to let the people of Russia and Ukraine know about Bitcoin, the war is cruel, it is a good thing for them that Bitcoin appears at this time as a free and inviolable asset, because the war will always stop, It is chilling to rebuild the home after stopping, and the wealth that has been fought for a lifetime has been turned into ruins because of the war.

Guys, I'm from Ukraine. Now evacuated from Kyiv to west of Ukraine. There is local territorial defence, but they are extremely poor. If you have a wish, send me some BTC, I will transfer it to local bank and give money for first aid kits, food, warm clothes.

This war has definitely create an impact on many people. Bitcoin has come to the rescue and has helped many people in buying their food during the crisis.
This war has made many people realize the importance of bitcoin. I am sure that the adoption of bitcoin will only keep increasing every year now onwards.
It might face obstacles from various governments but from time to time events like these will keep happening and make people more prone towards using bitcoin.
It might not become a payment gateway for day to day activities but it will surely stand as a safe haven and a valuable asset.

Full Bitcoin adoption as money requires working civilian infrastructure and a peaceful enough time to develop relevant software and, possibly, adopt some hardware. Neither Russia nor Ukraine have conditions that can enable this change right now. However, donations are accepted and, I believe, they can then be sold for fiat to actually buy military equipment, medicine, food and other things in Ukraine. But overall, while this is good for Bitcoin because the events increase the demand for it, Bitcoin still remains more of an asset than a functioning currency under these conditions. So it's not about mass adoption of Bitcoin, and people sitting in shelters don't have time for Bitcoin awareness.

It always has to be seen from two sides if there is any conflict because if it is only from one side, it will make us misperception and will continue to make the problem worse on social media, not on the real thing.
I personally don't want a prolonged conflict and can return to normal and be able to sit together and negotiate and leave each other's ego so that it can be finished. all those who don't understand the problem to refrain from social media by not making things worse.

It's really sad that during a conflict, bitcoin became a conversation that could certainly be better known, because it was to provide support and donation assistance. but indeed, if possible, donations must go through an institution that has been recognized so as not to be misused, which can escalate the conflict into a big one.

Bitcoin is of course always an alternative in every problem, because it is the easiest to give and collect. thus pushing bitcoin increasingly recognized and recognized as an easy-to-use transaction tool. but I agree with the op that this will actually make every country will protect themselves from this by making rules about bitcoin, so that there is no misuse that will actually be detrimental.

now the value of the donation has increased to 37 million dollars, Can someone tell me if they are making a donation in fiat and what value is it already? I know it's not an ideal time to make this kind of comparison, but I must say that most people look at bitcoin as a 10X investment, that's why they will hardly use bitcoin to make purchases or donations, they prefer to use fiat for that, and the The question is: when will we see bitcoin used as a payment method by the majority of people who own bitcoin? rich guys who pride themselves on having hundreds of bitcoins, I don't see them showing up to donate any bitcoins, they're probably donated in Fiat

I haven’t seen data on how fiat donations are coming, but the 37M$ crypto figure seems to now fall shy. The latest update I’ve seen drives it to 59,2M $ in crypto just for the recipient accounts established by the Ukrainian government and the Come Back Alive NGO, obtained from over 112K donations so far (I’m accounted for there).



There is a substantial decrease in the daily donation figures over the past three days, likely due to the call-to-action effect of the first few days plus crypto heavyweight entities and personalities being prompt to respond. Even so, the last few days make it above the 1M $ in crypto per day, something to follow as time goes by.

The following chart is also worth a look at:

the wat is indeed will end and not like in the past wars that the resources can be Loot easily as the gold/silvers and even Currencies can be taken by force but now since there is Bitcoin? and other crypto currencies? people from those countries can easily hide their funds and safer using crypto .
maybe more of them are considering putting their funds inside our market than remaining in banks or in their houses.

With the acceptance of bitcoin, ethereum and USDT as donations, Ukraine have made its step forward supporting adoption of cryptocurrencies. If this war hasn't happened many could've never understood the real value of bitcoin. Now every country will show interest in holding atleast a small volume of bitcoin, because we don't know what will be the situation of the country tomorrow. When it is required only the cryptocurrency can give hand and not the banking system.

Even if millions and billions were received as donations in fiat, the people never knew how donations were used. With cryptocurrency everything is transparent and this gains the trust and let's people know what is happening.
