Most of these transactions took a few minutes and around $1 in fees. Bitcoin lightning is pennies in fees, but the account shown is on main chain. There are over 19,000 individual donations.

  • If you know somebody who wants to contribute to Ukraine but doesn't want to deal with the hassle, cost, or availability of international bank wires, this is a great way.
  • It will go directly to the Govt of Ukraine instead of being filtered through a NGO or other party.
  • Unlike aid from governments/NGOs this money comes with no restrictions on how Ukraine can spend it.
  • Most major cities have several Bitcoin ATMs and in many countries you can buy Bitcoin online easily. This means you can have a bake sale or other fundraiser, turn that money into Bitcoin, and send it to Ukraine directly.

Proof this address (357a3So9CbsNfBBgFYACGvxxS6tMaDoa1P) is really owned by the Ukraine govt: https://twitter.com/Ukraine/status/1497594592438497282
