Stepping outside, whether you want to or not, you realize how many lives have been destroyed and maimed by this damn war. There isn't a day when you don't see men with prosthetics instead of limbs. And also funeral processions. Every day. I see them on my knees, with my hand on my heart and a prayer in my thoughts. I cry. My emotional threshold has long been exhausted.

What does this have to do with crypto?

It's because I've seen it as a salvation.God, how quickly I need to learn. But I keep failing.

Although I can't completely devalue what I already know, like where to find information about airdrops and bounty programs.

I also now laugh because I thought I was "tapping" the "hamster" for fun, but it was actually an opportunity. Yet I probably missed it, because I thought this project might somehow be connected to an enemy country. Who knows. I certainly don't. But my stance was what it was.

I also have "Metamask" (not that complicated, right? :))

... I've sifted through a ton of articles about fraud and security in the crypto system.

I liked the name "Ethereum". I'm a bit of an esoteric science fan, and Ether is mentioned there often :). But then I saw the developer's name and was horrified. Slavs can quickly discern national affiliation from names. So I was upset. I thought of abandoning it. Because that's my stance. A stance of disdain towards certain inhabitants of planet Earth.I was genuinely pleased to read that the co-founder of "Ethereum" not only condemned the "bloodthirsty country that is even unpleasant to name," but also supported Ukraine with his enormous donations.

So, what am I getting at?

That I am forced to learn to get results in crypto. To survive for myself and my family, to be able to donate to "my people" for drones, vehicles, rehabilitation, and other needs of those I knew when there was peace. To donate in support of soldiers who are in hospitals. To not lose my mind from what is happening here, in a place that is truly called Ukraine.

I will survive!
