After Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the unprecedented suffering and destruction it has caused to the Ukrainian people and their cities, we have observed many different ways in the ways that cryptocurrencies and the Blockchain are utilized to support humanitarian efforts and the country. The crypto community has stepped up and has united it support for the victims of such aggression.

For direct crypto donations to the Ukrainian government and NGOs, to official Ukrainian DAOs collecting funds, and to NFTs minting tokens and using the funds to help people in need in Ukraine.

The NFT aspect is quite interesting, as it allows everyday people who want to donate something to help Ukraine, to do that in a transparent way and get an NFT as a badge of honour as a result. Furthermore, in most cases since these NFTs are not aimed to generate profit but to be a badge of honour for their holders, they are non transferable and cannot be listed in secondary market for speculation and flipping purposes.

NFTs are playing an increasingly important role, as an Ukrainian NFT flag was auctioned for $6.75 million by Ukraine DAO with the funds going to the Come Back Alive NGO that is supporting the Ukrainian military to buy defensive equipment.

Sandbox, the popular Metaverse Blockchain Game, in cooperation with MauerNFT from Berlin has minted 10,000 Ukraine Flag NFTs that it plans to sell for $1 million. The funds from the NFT fundraiser will be matched by Sandbox that will offer another $1 million and all go towards the humanitarian relief effort in the country. The buyers of the flags will be able to use them and plant them on their lands to show support for Ukraine.

Furthermore, similar initiatives with Ukrainian NFTs have been launched by various artists and collections in different Blockchain networks. The Hive team has also stepped up and has been involved in order to help its team members from Ukraine and Hive users that have been affected by the horror of the war by launching its own NFTs series and donating the funds to the Ukrainian Ministry of Digital Transformation.

Once again, the crypto community, be it gamers, collectors, or investors have come together for a noble cause. Ukraine is suffering, people are dying, lives and dreams have been shattered. It is a duty to help and I am glad that we are exploring and using unique ways to do that, like NFTs.

Finding out that your husband or wife has been unfaithful isn’t just a time of profound heartbreak and shock, it’s also a time of intense confusion . At certain points desperate measures are our only resort and we take them, finding a trustworthy infiltrator can be a lifeline and I sure used one to save my relationship, business and sanity. I was having real life problems when my friend recommended Zion to me. I contacted him because my business partner was shaking me, stealing money from the business. Also my spouse was always up at odd hours clearly this is a sign that my spouse is cheating, so the hacker cloned/hacked into their devices and granted me total access to their devices without their knowledge. I was overwhelmed that I could see my business partner hidden finances that were off records and read their old and new text messages, see new and deleted pictures, emails, call logs, Facebook, messenger, WhatsApp, Snapchat, GPS location in real time among other things off my spouse phone. If you require the services of a private investigator (EC council certified personnel), you can speak to Zion at Remotespytech(@) Gmail, com . You will be glad you did. For the purpose getting him comfortable working with you, it is advisable you make reference to this post as it would save you a lot of back and forth while ensuring you are not some kid playing around. I do hope this helps.

This is another great use case for NFTs. People must understand that NFTs are not just a piece of digital art.

First and foremost, I don't have a say about the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. All I just want to say is thankyou for sharing this concepts to at least have a bit of idea about everything that is happening.
