I am devoted to writing software and building devices for the blockchain community, but I support my family as an industrial controls and robot technician specializing these days in machine vision and machine learning. My mentor, the guy who taught me to be an industrial electrician is from Ukraine and he served in the Russian army. So I figured this man knows both sides of the issue. I called him the other day and asked what is going. He said that women and children are being evacuated from areas where there is fighting and that the men are staying to fight. âOkâ, I said, how can I help. He said that he is sending money to a lady in Ukraine via MoneyGram and that she is using the money to make meals for the fighters and for body armor. For all I know they are using it to buy weapons as well. The only thing I do know for sure is that my friend knows both Ukraine and Russia and he has decided to help Ukraine by sending money to support their effort. I have decided to do the same because I know, trust, and respect my friend. My regret is that I am now using MoneyGram to send support. This is what Cardano was built for and itâs not quite ready yet. Imagine you live in a town and supported a fund drive for a new fire engine. And while they were building it at the factory a bunch of houses caught fire and burned down in your community. I wouldnât have any regrets about supporting the efforts to purchase a new fire truck but I would be sad that it hadnât yet arrived. Thatâs how I feel right now about Cardano. I know that so many hardworking people in the Cardano community are working to get our fire truck ready. In fact, it is ready. The problem is that the Ukrainian people canât spend ADA directly as they can with cash. Itâs like having a fire truck but no roads. Imagine if this happened in El Salvador. We would be able to support the people there with Bitcoin. So probably the most important thing we could do to be read to assist our neighbors is to promote the adoption of Cardano as legal currency all over the world. I think this is what Charles is trying to accomplish by focusing on Africa. Supporting the expansion of Cardano in Africa may be the best thing we can do to get ready to help our neighbors all over the world. What are your thoughts on the matter?
