USDT (trc20) — TEFccmfQ38cZS1DTZVhsxKVDckA8Y6VfCy
H.E. Justin Sun Replied: Hi Vice Prime Minister Mykhailo, I’m Justin Sun, the founder of @trondao. We stand behind the humanitarian support to the Ukraine people. It is amazing to see that you support USDT on #TRON! And I would like to make donations to Ukraine. Please DM me!
As you know, #TRON is a fast-growing blockchain with 80m global users and we will rally support from our community for #Ukraine. It will be great if you can open #TRX token donation support as well. Just the same USDT(trc20) address should be feasible.
However, Vitalik Buterin warned pointing to a Ukraine tweet stating: Vitalik Buterin: Please DO NOT send BTC/ETH/USDT to that address in the tweet from the Ukraine account without verification. There have been *a lot* of hacks alongside this invasion, this could easily be a hack. This info environment is as hostile as it gets, exercise extreme vigilance.
Vitalik Says this account is not legit: Suspected Ukraine Account expressed: Stand with the people of Ukraine as we defend ourselves from Russian aggression. Now accepting cryptocurrency donations. Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT. BTC – 357a3So9CbsNfBBgFYACGvxxS6tMaDoa1P ETH and USDT (ERC-20) – 0x165CD37b4C644C2921454429E7F9358d18A45e14
Those who are looking to send donations should identify if the wallet address they are looking to send is legit.
Community Response: How do we know this is legit? Where are the funds going to? What will it be used for? Who is in control of the funds? The social media manager? The president? Russian intelligence/hackers? There is huge responsibility in something like this.
They’re funding liberty and democracy in the face of tyranny. Would you rather the food, medicines and medical supplies stop turning up in aid of those defending their home?
Still don’t understand how sending crypto benefits Ukraine They need food and weapons more than BTC.
Because BTC, ETH and USDT jave easily accessible global liquidity. It would not be very challenging to exchange a large amount of these for food and weapons and could be, in some cases, easier than cash.
