First of all, because Ukraine's average population age is around 41yo, which is usually above the average of the normal crypto user (the avergae crypto user is between 18-40 yo - <a href="https://www.stilt.com/blog/2021/03/vast-majority-crypto-buyers-millennials-gen-z/">data here</a>).</p> <p>With this said, nobody can also claim "why don't they change their money to crypto now!" when Ukraine is currently receive a shit tonne of malware and computer virus attacks due to the invasion.</p> <p>Please, do not use this crisis as the one in Lebanon back in the day to promote our world. Yes, our world has solutions that can help in this situation, but this does not mean this should be a reason for promotion.</p> <p>For any Ukrainian out there reading this, we are here with you.
