The US sanctioned them, they can't use dollars or euros

In this case it's our responsibility not to undermine those sanctions.

While I'm not an expert in Afghanistan politics, I follow the Russian war and don't think we should support them by providing bitcoins

So you think people should starve rather than use bitcoin?

What about using it to support democracy in Russia? https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/navalny-ally-urges-dono...

I voted for a political party and I'm not an expert in foreign affairs.i don't have the insight necessary.

Therefore it's not my place to break sanctions my country opposes onto another.
