Guys, they say they will be bombing Kyiv soon, staying now in a bathroom.
I never believed in god, but today I’m praying.
Scared af, trying not to panic.
Today at 6 am I woke up from multiple calls “the war has started”. We didn’t have a chance to leave already, now just staying inside and checking news, trying to stay away from windows.
I hope we’ll stay alive.
Yesterday, Wise rejected my request to open an account because my registered Ukrainian address is located in the territory occupied by Russia.
That's why I'm here.
And you can’t even imagine how grateful I’m for all Web3 support!!!!!!! I’m crying seeing all these people cooperating together to help with evacuation, donations, shelters.
Especially
@pentcle
@bantg
@iearnfinance
people that they sincerely care about me.
It took 3 days to leave the country. I was crossing the boarder on foot. With a suit case, without warm clothes, with crazy lines. Women, kids, elder people - lines for 5-8-24-50 hours…
One year ago on this day my life changed. I woke up at 5 am because of multiple missed calls and sounds of neighbors running down the stairs.
“It’s started. They invaded Ukraine”.
I screamed in the air and left my apartment in 40 minutes with 1 small suitcase.
happy to announce that today I’m joining
@element_fi
as Brand Marketing Manager 👻
how it started:
@html_tina
in Berlin: “if u wanna join we’re going to a EF (ethereum foundation) meetup”😛
i have a few people who helped me along the way, but the first person who saw me, who didn’t care if I had any fancy background, who didn’t care where I’m from, if I’m a boy or a girl, who cared only about one thing - what I can do - was
@bantg
I’m not in Denver guys.
I don’t have visa and Americans don’t want issuing one for a Ukrainian single woman with a highly unstable and risky crypto job, without owning a house, kids and a car 🤡
Ethereum's dad was born today. If it wasn’t for this man, we’d still be using MasterCard ew
Happy birthday,
@VitalikButerin
, I hope you’ll notice me at some point as I’ve been watching you at every ETH conference 🥲
UPD: Kyiv is under aggressive attack from this morning with missiles. Trying to leave central part of Ukraine now, but there’s risk of not checking through checkpoints because of the whole mobilization (they can turn back all men, but a lot of women with kids can’t drive alone)
the day has come.

- if you need someone to design and produce merch for your brand that doesn't suck - slide into my DMs.
🇺🇦some percentage of each order will go to Ukrainian kids - rn, a lot of mothers are taking care of large families..↓

@iearnfinance
is the first place I feel like they don’t care where I’m from, how old I’m, if I have fancy experience. The place I never faced sexism (which is pretty rare for crypto space) or bossy hierarchy.
Yearn <3
they said i could tweet puppies if i joined their team.
so here we go - honored to announce that I’m joining the
@zerion
team - not just the best portfolio tracker (as everyone knows them), but also the best crypto WALLET!
A lot of folks hate this visual in comments, but I LOOVE how they’re trying to experiment with not obvious narratives for Defi. People used to see Defi space as serious, boring, predictable, conservative, but Web3 isn’t about it.
A lot of my friends stayed in Ukraine, Kyiv, others cities on purpose to fight, help, volunteer, transfer people! They refused to run away; they’re risking their lives to free our country.
I’m so proud!
@ninarstepanov
@0xbluecow
I lowkey like it exactly for this odd gamers/coders' visual vibe. Github, Reddit, discord - they’re all not fancy and ux/ui friendly, but this is what makes them cool in their own way…we don’t need second slack :\
people ask me all the time “what have you been up to, where are you rn, any upcoming trips??”
guys, everything I do is WORK at home lol. And when I say it, it means I sit at my desk for 8 hours straight in slack. I don’t know how y’all travel and work full time at the same
i remember being asked at interviews who i wanna be in the future (and expected to respond with something like CEO, manager, leader), but i always knew i wanted to be a mother
and there’s nothing more important then them 💓
need web3 fren for
@EthCC
who’ll be taking me as +1 wherever they go, since I always miss out those cool parties and bad at socializing
@html_tina
isn’t going, I’ll end up sitting in the corner alone…
this transparent Zerion bag literally saved my life tonight at the airport security check (they didn’t stop my luggage for the first ever lol)
come and get it today at

tbh I don’t like how most people explain finance/crypto-related concepts.
it’s complex, boring, with a bunch of specific terms. So, here’s something I tried to come up with - teens friendly educational content - what is opportunity cost 🫣
I spoke with my sister just now about the new mobilization law in Ukraine. It's the most aggressive one so far and implies that almost every man will be drafted soon.
It's heartbreaking to look at her and her baby and discuss how she gonna raise her daughter alone if something
Americans who keep saying “bear market hit me, I can't afford buying yachts anymore, I got poor, my world crashed”, do you realise you’re still one of the most privileged people in the world? Until I came to crypto, I couldn’t even afford to have savings
i grew up in typical post Soviet small town full of outcasts. Once I was defending from a psycho with a gun, another time run away from local mafia. Bogotá stories can’t scare me off lol
this is my aesthetic pussies
a kind reminder that crypto/tech people cause drama because they have too good life
when others fight for basic needs like a right to be alive (Iranian women, Ukrainians)/paying rent/affording vacation once a year
people will always complain about the space: either “it’s over” or a bad Dj at the side event or not enough L sizes for the swag. they’ll criticize everything but stay here no matter what. so everyone who made devconnect happen - you’re amazing, and don’t stop bringing all of us
Before
@zerion
, I mostly used MetaMask just because I was used to it. Now, when I ask my friends which wallet they use, they mention a few of the popular ones. “why? dunno, just used to it”. But familiar doesn’t necessarily mean the best one.
A few of my fave zerion features:
I deleted the post because honestly, I can’t deal with the amount of hate and attention I got - both good and bad one. Some people were DMing me saying they’re grateful someone brought that up. Some of them said I was jealous.
I didn’t expect it to go viral lol and I don’t
Still, I find myself very lucky, because I’m alive, healthy, I have a job and I’m committed to buy them a new house.
And despite everything, “"Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light".
last year i went to
@FWBtweets
Idyllwild fest and it was one of the best experiences i’ve ever had.
jealous of everyone who’s going this year. have fun for me 🥲
even if I was new in crypto and unknown, I felt heard and that my opinion matters. shoutouts to
@bantg
for being such a unique person in this space. I wanted to keep going because I felt welcomed and supported by you.
Art director: Kay 🥺🖤 (yes, I love this movie poster style)
this feeling when you see how your ideas come alive and to experience this perfect synergy with the rest of the team
Yearn has purchased an additional 127.9 YFI from an open market for $3.9 million. This signifies another 0.34% of supply you can never acquire*, anon.
The buybacks are so strong, they are getting an anime adaptation!
* unless you come join Yearn and earn it by contributing.
the funniest thing I see a lot is people who neither created a single thing in their life nor contributed to this space saying “web3 companies should stop doing this and that…”
go and build something first dude
it always feels like summer camp is over after conferences - all your friends left, and you’re sitting in the airport and thinking when you’ll see them for the next time 🥺
@cokiehasiotis
I’ve attended about 6-7 crypto conferences and haven’t felt safer and more welcomed than in crypto space!
Ofc everyone’s experience is different though, i hope next time will be better for you 🫶
Yesterday I got an offer to become
@surge_women
ambassador and I’m so glad such communities exist. A lot of talented smart people in there expressing support to each other. This is what real community is 🖤
my sister and her newborn baby are hiding rn in a bomb shelter in Kyiv, because Russia launched huge missile attack on the whole country today. today night I’ll wish only one thing - Putin’s death.
Bullish on an upcoming

party in Bogotá 🇨🇴
(a few sneak pics from the mood board and location we’ve booked)
Also, you didn’t hear it from me, but there’s Berghain level DJ in its lineup 🥵
that i have electricity and can watch tv, that I have access to a modern library with a bunch of eng cool books about design, that I’m healthy, i have a job, i have internet, i have all opportunities in this world
everyone be like “south Europe is so lazy”, but have you tried leaving your apt when it’s 20 degrees outside, sunny, with 3 parks around your neighbourhood you can walk to? the life is a pure bliss
they’re not lazy, they simply know how to enjoy life, and we’re all jealous
And you should know that I’m safe now. I left Ukraine and waiting for my mom and sister to join me.
Unfortunately my dad refused to leave and he’s helping in my hometown + a lot of my friends are still there.
the amount of cool things we’re working on in
@zerion
rn 😮💨
sometimes it’s a bit scary, sometimes it’s overwhelming, but at the end of the day you’re happy af! that’s how it should be
