Uno de los principales medios de comunicación en inglés de Ucrania ha comenzado a solicitar donaciones en criptomonedas para financiar su trabajo.
The Kyiv Independent ha comenzado a anunciar sus nuevas billeteras de criptomonedas, que son las últimas en los medios de financiación del periódico.
The Bitcoin wallet has received just over 0.126 BTC ($5,000), while the ether wallet has taken in donations of 59.4 ETH ($163,000). The two wallets saw their first transactions on February 25.
Those wallets are in addition to the Kyiv Independent’s older GoFundMe and Patreon accounts. All of these fundraising methods have seen heightened activity amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Kyiv Independent’s crypto wallets are just the latest in a growing list of Ukrainian causes using cryptocurrency to gather funds, including the Ukrainian government itself.
The Kyiv Independent es una rama del Kyiv Post, el medio de comunicación en inglés más antiguo del país. Una de las principales fuentes de noticias independientes de Ucrania, el Kyiv Post se disolvió efectivamente en noviembre.
Owner Adnan Kivan at the time said he intended to restart the publication, which has since resumed. Members of the post’s editorial staff, however, released a joint statement at the time indicating that they had been fired en masaya que Kivan buscaba restringir su independencia.
Those fired reporters went on to launch the Kyiv Independent at the end of November. Ominously, the first opinion the outlet published was a November 30 piece called “Is Russia really about to invade Ukraine?”
