I don’t think you understand how hard it is to protect your savings when all you have access to is 3rd world banks. I’d rather have 10k in eth then say Russian roubles or whatever shit local currency

The post I replied to was, in turn, replying to my post.

I do not live in a 3rd world country.

People in Eastern Ukraine did not have to protect their money from Puting until very recently. Now people are taping cash to their bodies in order to evade the war zone without getting it stolen.

Congratulations, I guess.

Actually, Ukraine ranks above average and median when it comes to HDI. At least a couple of weeks ago.
