On 03/01, someone donated a #cryptopunk No. 5364 by @larvalabs to Ukraine. It’s 56 #ETH (around $150k). People ask if it helps. Two points. 1 — it’s hard to cash it out. 2 — it’s a big deal since it engages more people who belong to the community. Thank you, #cryptofolks!— Alex Bornyakov (@abornyakov) March 5, 2022
