Young Ukrainian escapes war with USB stick holding 40% of life savings in #Crypto

Posted on March 24, 2022September 9, 2023 By CorruptionLedger No Comments on Young Ukrainian escapes war with USB stick holding 40% of life savings in #Crypto

As the Russian invasion of Ukraine nears its fifth week, it has been shown that cryptocurrencies have helped Ukrainian refugees in more than one way after being forced from their homes. Crypto has made it possible for donations worth tens of millions of dollars to pour into the country while allowing some Ukrainians to take a portion of their life savings with them as they flee across the border.

One of them is a 20-year-old man identified by the pseudonym ‘Fadey’, who managed to escape war and cross into Poland with 40% of his life savings in Bitcoin (BTC) contained on a USB stick, CNBC reported on March 23. His experience starts with the invasion and the realization that he would soon have to flee his homeland, for which he needed money. Cash was out of the question.

“I couldn’t withdraw cash at all, because the queues to ATMs were so long, and I couldn’t wait that much time,” he said.
However, he had a USB stick that contained around $2,000 in Bitcoin, equalling around 40% of Fadey’s life savings. The funds on the drive were accessible to him with a unique passcode, allowing him to pay for his survival in another country.
“I could just write my seed phrase on a piece of paper and take it with me,” he explained.
Crypto has not just helped individuals like Fadey take their life savings with them as they ran from war, but also protect them from theft, thanks to being tied to their owner by a password. (FinBold)
