To Ban Or Not to Ban? ??
All through last week, we saw different crypto platforms banning Russians and cutting off access to the country because of the Ukraine conflict ?. But, not everyone is on board with this banning spree.
Some people have criticized the crypto platforms banning Russia because it’s not in line with the values of the blockchain. If the blockchain is open to us all, then everyone should have access to it. Or what do you think? ?
