The article was not about Afghanistan.

But we can talk about how the U.S. is creating the sanctions in Afghanistan. And we can also talk about how Russia is using Crypto to get around sanctions.

All crypto does is make money for the gatekeepers of crypto and profit off of war, sanction, and fear. Crypto solves zero problems, it only profits off of the problems governments create.

So should we ban it then since anyone can get around sanctions using it?

Might as well ban encryption then. /s

Care to elaborate? What would do you suggest then for those who are in countries like Ukraine or Afghanistan then?

Encryption has no middle man and is free, and unlike cypto, you are untraceable. So no idea ho you can compare the two

A good start would be instigating peace and not war. Stop having the US fight these proxy resource wars by destabilizing them and trying to put in our puppet leaders.

Exactly. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Isn't it?

Like cryptocurrencies, that is also free and there is no middle man since you can send money directly from one wallet to another. ie. peer-to-peer. It is so 'free', even terrorists, extremists, hitmen and other undesirables can use it as well as they can generally use encrypted communications.

Hence that, so should it all be banned; yes or no?

> A good start would be instigating peace and not war. Stop having the US fight these proxy resource wars by destabilizing them and trying to put in our puppet leaders.

So your answer towards those people who are affected in countries like Ukraine or Afghanistan' is basically 'nothing'. They are just pawns used in a political chess game of sanctions and everyone affected over there suffers for that. That is 'fair?' isn't it /s

Either way, it is all quite easy to say what you said at the comfort of your armchair at your computer screen right?

I don’t understand how you can read that crypto donations are helping to feed Ukrainian refugee families and say “all crypto does is make money for the gatekeepers .. and profit off of war…”

It is literally saving lives…
