Young Ukrainian Escapes War With USB Stick Holding 40% of His Life Savings In Crypto
A 20-year-old Ukrainian man named "Fadey" managed to escape the war and cross into Poland with 40% of his life savings in bitcoin contained on a USB stick.

However, he had a USB stick that contained around $2,000 in Bitcoin, equalling around 40% of Fadey's life savings.
