Ukraïna

People underrate Ukrainians a lot. Before I had spent time there I did not know as much as I should have about their culture and history. Ukrainians are smart, resilient, warm and competent people as a whole and its very evident in their society. This is the only way they could have survived and even succeeded in the face of so much pressure. I'm very friendly towards Ukraine.

notable crypto companies/protocols founded by Ukrainians that you may have used: Solana, NEAR, zkSync, Trust Wallet, WhiteBIT, among others

I’ve noticed that lots of regular Ukrainians use crypto in their daily lives. I haven’t seen this level of widespread crypto adoption anywhere else in Europe or Asia.

crypto is well-adopted in Ukraine and is present/used in some form in pretty much every city, incl. local money exchanges across the country
