wow

I gave two Bitcoin talks today in Kyiv, and both talks got interrupted by air raid alarms. Not a big deal – we were in the basement of a co-working place next to the designated shelter room. But it goes to show how often they go off.

Honestly people usually ignore them. Kyiv is about 3 million people. 3 million minutes is 5.7 years. So once you've spent 13 minutes in shelters, collectively you've spent an entire human lifetime.

The lost sleep isn't worth it when an attack probably "only" kills one or two people on average.

Well put.

I traveled with my family to Tel Aviv and the air strike warnings went off a bunch. Amazing how locals mostly barely moved.

You get used to it really quickly. I've been outdoors at a cafe with families with young children, and watched at no-one did anything at all.

Certainly there are cases where the danger is higher and people would take more action. But fortunately I've never experienced it myself.

Sad to know there are warmongers among some of the earliest, well recognized Bitcoin developers, but I guess Bitcoin is really for everyone, including assholes

So I'm a warmonger because I might get killed by a Russian cruise missile?

No, because you’re cheering on the bombing of likely innocent people who have no control over what their leader does, whilst accusing them of being criminals for staying in their own country and making a living. I wouldn’t expect my family and friends to uproot from England because the British Govt is assisting Israeli Zionists in genocide of Palestinians because they have no control over the Govt, of which both sides seem to be in opposition to most of the rest of the country. Nor do I see you leaving the US after countless illegal wars and coups conducted by the US Govt. This shit mainly happens because of the fiat money system and this is also why the average person has no say in the matter. I cannot condone the arbitrary killing of innocent people no matter which side they’re on. But you seem to be gleefully nonchalant about it

Says the guy who supports the Zionist genocidal maniacs
