“The world is united in supporting the people whose lives have been shattered by the invasion of Ukraine, and we are determined to do our part by making it easy for anyone to donate to humanitarian relief efforts.”said Mike Germano, editor of Bitcoin Magazine. “The conflict in Ukraine is the first truly modern war, where information, fake news and censorship are just as important as kinetic weapons.”
“Bitcoin is an incredibly powerful weapon against financial censorship, whether it’s an authoritarian regime shutting down NGO bank accounts, or Trudeau doing the same to supporters of ‘trucker protests'”German added.
Those wishing to donate will simply need to scan the shoes of one of the players listed above. People looking to support the initiative can also visit b.tc/ukraine to donate in bitcoin or a variety of other major currencies.
“What is happening in our homeland is a tragedy, but we are heartened by the incredible support and generosity shown by people around the world,” Mykhailiuk and Len said in a joint statement for the release.
“We are bitcoiners ourselves, so we know that Bitcoin is the most effective way to instantly send money to those who need it; quickly, with minimal cost, and in a censorship-resistant manner. Each satoshi will go towards helping displaced families, as well as providing humanitarian aid and aid to refugees inside and outside of Ukraine,” they added.
Mykhailiuk will show off his “Shoe-R code” sneakers at the Raptors’ playoff opener against the Philadelphia 76ers at the Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, PA today at 6 pm EST. All proceeds will be donated to Hope for Ukraine, part of the Len-D A Hand Foundation, the charity that plays a leading role in providing humanitarian assistance to refugees and others affected by the war in Ukraine.
