What is the impact of the current Ukraine and Russia war on Crypto? With so many sanctions being launched against Russia, it could have a huge impact on the economies of both countries and possibly other countries as well. I have read before that there are Ukraine who accept donations via crypto and there is news of a ban on freezing Russia user accounts. I hope the war ends soon, peace is beautiful
The real impact for the time being is quite good for cryptocurrencies because with the war going on financial flows are very difficult to transact so they have to use cryptocurrencies, and it makes some big coins like bitcoin go up to 10%.
However, from my personal point of view this is only temporary, before the war happened we were in a bear market, even with this war it also became vulnerable to be an attack on the price of bitcoin itself.
When pressed into war I worry that they can use anything, what if the donations that Ukraine received directly without an audit were used to attack Russia, while the Ukrainian people currently need emergency money to keep them there.
What's even more confusing to me, is that instead of channeling the cryptocurrency received from donations to Ukrainian citizens, they actually plan to create an NFT, which at the moment I'm also confused about what the benefits are for people who I think need it more.
