Ukraine Cancels Planned Crypto 'Airdrop' Rewards for Donations

Ukraine has scrapped a plan to reward people who donated to its fight against a Russian invasion with newly created crypto assets, following complications with the project. From a report: The official verified Twitter account for Ukraine said on Wednesday it planned to issue a so-called "airdrop," a common tool for early-stage crypto platforms to attract users by offering free tokens to jump start a project. But a day later, Ukraine's Vice Prime Minister Mykhailo Federov said in a tweet that the nation had decided to cancel the project. The tweet wasn't independently verified by Bloomberg News. "Every day there are more and more people willing to help Ukraine to fight back the aggression," Federov said in a tweet from his personal verified Twitter account on Thursday. He added that Ukraine will announce a drop of nonfungible tokens to support the Ukrainian Armed Forces soon, but that it has no plans to issue any fungible tokens such as cryptocurrencies.

Good.

If you give any world government a big pile of cash do you really expect them to distribute it fairly to those in need?

At best some of it will go to some of those in need. Quite possibly the government will say the distribution is simply impossible and they will keep the money.

The problem is, if you start prosecuting war criminals, George W. Bush is still alive. Also, the US is bombing in Somalia, and generally has activities going on in a dozen places at a time. Israel is up to more shenanigans. The horrific war in Yemen is ongoing. Putin is unique only in that the western media is paying attention. But, yeah, put them all in prison.
