On today’s episode, NLW looks at the contrasting public images of crypto regarding the Ukraine-Russia war. On the one hand, the Ukrainian resistance has raised more than $30 million from more than 26,000 crypto donations while traditional fundraising platforms block similar efforts. On the other, some politicians and media are raising the specter of bitcoin and crypto as a way for Russian leaders to minimize the impact of sanctions. Which perspective on crypto is more correct as this generational conflict unfolds?
