A
I
kind
of
would
like
to
share
with
you
some
ideas
about
the
ecosystem
development
in
general
and
now
about
how
you
can
take
different
people
together.
Align
them
under
some
Vision.
You
know,
do
some
great
stuff
and
how
to
build
capacity,
how
to
resolve
conflict.
How
deal
with
the
crisis
and
try
to
show
it
in
the
few
case
studies.
A
So
when
I
just
joined,
you
know
what
what
what
did
I
see.
Initially
I
was
mostly
working
in
the
development.
So
I
was
like
specifically
following
my
narrow
field,
but
when
I
started
to
look
at
the
like
country
in
general,
I
learned
that
first
of
all,
Ukraine
has
one
of
the
best
adoption
rates
and
for
specific
reasons
like
we
don't
have
a
Securities
market
and
people
don't
trust,
Banks
and
so
on.
A
But
in
the
same
way
like
the
current
situation,
as
in
many
countries
is
quite
like
Gray
Zone,
you
know,
and
the
since
2012
or
14,
there
were
like
a
bunch
of
tries
to
propose
some
kind
of
legislation
or
something
that
would
guide
this
industry,
but
all
of
them
failed.
Basically,
before
this,
like
new
president
came
like
zelensky
and
he
had
this
vision
of
a
country
in
a
smartphone,
you
know
government
is
a
smartphone
and
they
created
this
ministry,
which
consisted
mostly
of
the
business
people.
A
You
know,
and
young
people,
which
was
contrasting
a
lot
with
the
other
other
Ministries
and
bodies,
so
I
started
to
work
there
and
what
I
learned
is
like.
Basically,
we
can
propose
something,
but
in
order
to
pass
anything
you
know
we
need
a
general
consensus
and
at
that
time
you
know
now
it's
getting
much
better,
but
at
that
time
most
people
knew
crypto
for
money
laundering
like
drugs
and
hacks
and
stuff
like
that.
So
it
was
like
we
needed
to
come
and
speak
to
everybody
and
explain
this.
A
Only
small
percent
of
it
you
know
like
dollar,
is
also
like
used
for
the
same
purposes.
It
doesn't
mean
we
need
to
bond
it.
So,
in
order
to
like
make
this
happen,
you
know
I
saw
some
specific
like
problems
or
challenges.
First
of
all,
every
Ministry
everybody
or
every
business.
They
had
their
own
agenda.
You
know
they
saw
what
they
want
to
do.
A
You
know
like
the
National
Bank
just
sees
the
currency
aspect
of
it
right
and
like
or
like
somebody
is
just
looking
at
The
Exchange
Market
on
the
mining
Market,
but
not
all
of
that
together.
You
know
there
was
no
specific
vision
of
how
that
all
will
strive
and
also
another
part
is
like
the
businesses
and
the
like.
Web3
crowd
is
mostly
like
crypto
anarchic
and
they
hate
government.
They
don't
want
to
even
touch
it
and
I
kill
it
the
same,
but
also
like
there
was
no
productive
dialogue.
A
You
know
like
no
attempts
to
to
build
this
connection
and
also
most
of
the
like
this
Holy
Verse.
You
know
about
like
somebody
wants
to
do
something
in
a
position
and
all
that
fighting
happened
inside
of
Ukraine.
Nobody
thought
wow.
This
is
like
a
global
like
movement,
you
know
how
do
we
become
competitive
like
worldwide
or
how
do
we
think
about
it
as
like?
A
Not
just
inside
but
but
as
general
and
final
final
problem
was
that
was
that
was
a
middle
of
bear
market,
so
it
was
really
hard
to
find
any
resources
to
develop
it,
but
even
like
to
Illustrated
on
the
case,
even
like,
with
a
project
that
really
got
funding.
You
know
like
most
of
them
didn't,
but
there
was
this
project
that
Ministry
was
developing
like
it
passed
the
law
on
the
what
is
virtual
assets?
Basically
crypto.
You
know
like
what
is
the
key?
What
is
the
wallet
stuff
like
that?
A
And
there
was
a
norm
that
all
of
the
service
providers
need
to
be
in
some
kind
of
register,
so
we
should
have
some
exchanges
or
Brokers
like
their
license,
is
registered
somewhere
and
we
got
this
task
and
this
funding
from
the
Swiss
Embassy
yeah.
Please
develop
it's
a
nice
stuff.
You
know
like
develop
this
registry.
I
got
super
experience,
the
Consultants
they
proposed
us
with
three
options,
so
one
is
like
fully
public
system,
probably
on
ethereum,
but
maybe
something
whatever,
but
then
hybrid
solution.
You
know
semi-closed
and
centralized,
and
they
did
a
comparison.
A
The
balance
scorecard,
you
know
like
on
the
security
cost
of
support
the
anti
like
corruption,
effects
and
stuff
like
that
and
all
together,
like
the
ethereum
solution,
the
public
solution
was
winning.
You
know.
I
was
like
they
said
like
we
propose
this
solution
and
I
was
like.
Yes,
let's
do
that,
but
we
needed
to
consult
with
other
stakeholders
and
the
donors
who
sponsor
that,
like
we
ask
them,
what
what
do
they
think
and
they
said
well,
we
will,
you
probably
have
200
companies.
Do
you
really
need
blockchain
for
this?
A
You
know,
and
then
we
talk
to
the
businesses
like
hey
guys.
What
do
you
think
we
should
build
and
they
said,
could
you
just
do
no
registration
at
all
or
we
will
take
our
business
elsewhere?
You
know
to
other
jurisdiction,
we
don't
want
to
be
registered
at
all.
You
know
and
the
final
like
kill-
or
this
idea
was
from
the
lawyers
they
said.
Well,
potentially,
we
could
use
the
blockchain
here,
but
due
to
the
current
laws,
all
the
information
should
be
stored
on
the
server
servers
in
the
country.
A
A
So
that's
what
led
me
to
think
more
about
the
vision
you
know.
How
do
we
create,
like
even
of
course
I
I,
see
the
point
like
it
doesn't
make
sense
to
do
a
200
people
register
your
company
register
on
the
blockchain,
but
it's
just
a
start.
You
know
somebody
needs
to
do
this
change
in
the
norm.
Somebody
needs
to
start
building
different
services
and
information.
It's
kind
of
open,
ecosystem
and
stuff
like
that,
but
nobody
stated
that
as
a
task.
You
know
we
just
solve
this
small
solution
here
and
there.
A
So
I
was
in
the
search
for
the
vision
and
one
of
my
friends
from
the
undps
celebration
lab.
He
recommended
to
use
the
foresight
and
basically
the
foresight
is
the
like:
it's
a
research
method,
it's
the
Community
Development
approach.
It's
like
really
hard
to
tell
in
just
few
words,
but
what
it
isn't
for
sure.
It's
not
a
prediction.
You
know
it's
not
about
like
okay.
Last
year
we
earned
1
million
dollars.
So
next
yeah,
maybe
it's
two
million
dollars.
It's
rather
about
the
different
trends
that
can
occur
and
how
like
they
can
pay
out
together.
A
You
know
what
happens
if
all
of
them
materialize
or
none
of
them
materialize.
What
then
would
happen
who
will
win
and
so
on.
So
one
of
the
key
ideas
is
that
it
should
be
like
systematic
and
participatory.
So
for
that
we
took
each
of
a
kind.
We
took
representatives
from
every
Ministry,
you
know
from
National
Bank
to
cyber
police.
We
took
parliamentaries
every
kind
of
business,
social
ngos,
economists
I
would
even
like
ecologists.
A
You
know,
because
that
was
also
one
of
the
insights
there
and
we
got
them
together
in
a
set
of
like
offline
events
and
zoom
calls
to
speak
about
what
do
they
see?
What
trends
do
they
see
what
future
or
like
what
needs
do
they
have,
and
the
second
aspect
of
it
is
like
we
gathered
all
of
that
intelligence
about
the
future
for
our
long-term
Vision
process.
So
we
said
like
it's
not
for
a
year:
it's
like
20
30,
you
know
10
years,
but
many
people
in
the
ministry
planning
for
10
years.
A
It
was
like
can't
do,
but
we
strive
for
that
and
the
two
key
trends
that
we
identified,
whereas,
like
first
of
all
the
asset
tokenization,
you
know
whether
it
would
grow
or
not
and
control
our
personality
and
in
the
our
audience
nobody
believed
that
it
won't
grow.
Everybody
believed
it
would
grow.
You
know,
so
we
didn't
even
consider
those
scenarios
but
where
the
real
fight
happened
is
in
the
between
this
personality
control.
A
So
mostly
people
spoke
about,
on
the
one
hand,
the
values
of
the
security
you
know,
protection
of
like
customers,
consumers
and
so
on.
But
on
the
other
hand,
it's
like
Freedom.
You
know
no
protection
like
we
can
lose
our
like
freedom,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
we'll
gain
protection
for
sure
you
know.
So
at
one
moment
we
just
stand
it
on
the
line.
You
know
from
the
like
security
to
freedom
and
people
stated
some
arguments
and
other.
Could
you
know,
change
their
place
at
this
and
we
ended
up.
A
You
know
like
somewhere
in
the
middle
but
closer
to
the
freedom
and
the
scenario
would
the
metaphor
for
this
scenario:
we
call
it
digital
Venice
in
the
way
of
like
golden
age
of
trade,
you
know
open
trade
and
prosperity,
lots
of
bridges
between
all
of
these
systems
and
so
on
in
comparison
to
digital
dictatorship.
You
know
where
Mass
surveillance,
of
course,
some
maybe
big
Enterprises,
can
win
you
know,
but
for
the
Innovation
for
the
consumers
and
so
on,
it
doesn't
prove
to
be
the
best.
A
So
this
was
our
like
Choice
there
and
after
that,
what
initially
happened
is
people
started
to
like
they
saw
all
of
that
Community
gathered
around
those
ideas
and
they
started
to
propose
different
projects.
You
know
we
started
to
see
like
who's
gonna
need
to
do
what
you
know
what
governments
needs
to
do,
what
business
needs
to
do?
You
know
that
set
up
the
initial
roadmap
of
our
operations,
where
people
really
proposed
something
what
they
wanted
and
by
the
end
of
like
this
six
months,
extensive
work,
I
was
super
happy
and
I
was
like.
A
I
saw
a
lot
of
the
stakeholders.
We
established
all
this
contacts.
We
had
this
developmental
Vision
it
had
this
road
map.
70
Pages
report
extensive.
You
know,
education
happened
through
this.
You
know
people
discussed
you
know
like
in
National,
but
what
is
D5?
What
is
nft
and
stuff
like
that?
But
one
of
the
key
ideas
is
that
people
build
trust.
You
know
I
had
somebody
selling
like
from
the
business.
Oh
this
guy
from
the
financial
monitoring
he's
like
adequate
and
nice.
You
know
we
can
probably
speak
to
him
and
government
also
like
our
mental
workers.
A
They
had
like
okay,
this
Founders
entrepreneurs
they're
like
okay,
they
do
some
nice
stuff,
so
it
created
the
initial
basis
for
like
human
relations
in
this
process,
and
we
also
established
a
project
office.
You
know
with
all
these
experts
in
11
working
groups,
some
of
them
already
got
funding
for
educational
infrastructure
and
I
was
like
on
the
high
moment
of
it
at
that
time,
and
what
you
could
think
is
what
can
go
wrong.
You
know,
after
that,
well
on
February
24th
the
day
that
most
of
ukrainians
will
remember
for
long.
A
You
know
the
war
started,
and
now,
after
eight
months,
it's
kind
of
like
a
new
normality.
You
can
say,
but
the
first
months
I
felt
like
would
I
really
like
would
I
have
to
speak
to,
like
speaking
to
my
close
one,
would
I
have
a
chance
to
speak
with
them
tomorrow.
I
wasn't
sure
and
all
of
this
nice
developmental
plans,
they
were
also
doomed.
You
know
who
will
think
about
this
Innovation
at
this
time,
so
this
is
also
like
I
recognized
the
moment
we
recognized
in
our
team
that
we
can't
also
lower
hands.
A
You
know
this
time
required
us
to
act
and
to
do
something,
and
what
was
promising
really.
Is
that
on
the
base
of
the
initial
trust
that
people
you
know
talking
together,
a
bunch
of
projects
emerged
that
started
to
you,
know,
collect
funding,
and
one
of
such
projects
is
called
date
for
Ukraine.
It
was
under
the
ministry
of
digital
transformation
brand
and
supported
by
a
few
businesses.
You
know
so
government
accepted
crypto
and
send
it
to
the
different
purchases.
The
key
idea
there
was
that
the
supply
chain
requirements
were
super
high.
A
A
They
said
like
under
our
reputation,
we
collect
These
funds,
it's
just
like
important
at
the
time
many
people,
like
not
only
good
actors
activated
but
Bad
actors
activated
where
they
collected
like
kind
of
for
Ukraine.
You
know,
but
could
you
know
just
take
this
money,
so
the
brand
of
ministry
or
the
brand
of
like
business
owners
and
so
on?
It
was
really
important
for
that
and
like
Unchained
funds,
they
had
this
multi-seek.
You
know
they
like.
We
didn't
have
the
time
to
build
a
full-scale.
A
You
know
down
for
everything,
but
we
try
to
keep
the
closest
to
that
and
you
can
see
that
the
money
was
sent
like
for
different
causes.
We
need
to
like
be
lean
and
agile.
There
was
many
Grassroots,
you
know,
initiatives
that
needed
just
small
amounts
of
fun.
So
there
was
like
this
people
struggling
in
the
other
countries,
migration
that
they
had
no
money
to
survive.
You
know
and
they
can't
even
always
use
their
money
for
some
reason.
A
They
don't
know
where
to
give
so
they
kind
of
created
this
connection,
where
the
Museum
of
War,
which
connected
both
the
aspect
of
like
creativity,
to
to
the
fundraising
for
the
ministry.
We
even
got
this
crypto
Bank
we
sold
for
100k,
so
first
of
all,
I
would
like
to
thank
you
a
lot
for
as
a
community
for
everybody
who
supported
it,
who
donated
who
tracked?
Who
was
with
us
in
this
hard
moment.
After
this
you
know,
nobody
can
say
in
Ukraine
that
crypto
is
like
non-desirable
or
something
so
yeah.
A
Sorry
do
I
have
time.
Yeah
I
have
some
time,
I'm
finishing
sorry,
so
what
I
proposed
to
like
what
we
can
do
next
is
like,
like:
let's
keep
hacking
you
know
like
currently
the
like
we,
we
got
bombed
all
the
time.
You
know
now
they
like,
aiming
at
the
like
electrical
and
like
water
infrastructure
and
so
on,
but
that
doesn't
stop
people
from
like
coding
and
doing
their
work.
You
know
they
work
like
in
the
underground
hotel.
They
keep
hacking.
A
Just
recently,
there
was
like
a
hackathon
in
here
where
vitalik
was,
and
people
were
like
thinking
about
the
solution
that
can
be
just
like
now.
We
need
it
in
Ukraine,
but
tomorrow
you
know
who
knows
which
country
already
like.
If
you
look
at
the
security
aspect
of
the
DLT
like
in
Georgia
or
Taiwan,
they
already
are
thinking
about
the
cyber
attacks
that
can
happen
in
our
country.
It's
also
like
quite
a
big
problem,
and
it's
also
a
bunch
of
migration
challenges
because,
of
course,
like
National
Banks.
They
try
to
like
secure
macro
situation.
A
You
know,
but
also
people
can't
always
you
know,
transfer
money
or
like
open
the
bank
account
and
in
our
vision,
we're
looking
to
to
move
all
of
this
ownership
right
system
to
distrusted
ecosystems
and
just
like,
as
a
final
note,
what
what
I
learned
through
all
of
this
experience.
You
know
what
I
hope
you
can
use
in
your
work
as
well.
A
Is
that
without
the
vision,
you
know
that
won't
work,
you
know
we'll
be
still
disconnected
and
what
we
do
and
what
we
achieved
is
like
the
sound
sense
of
the
shared
future
and
the
community
who
was
like
experiencing
this
shared
future
is
like
in
the
world.
We
all
became
kind
of
dull,
like
everybody
started
to
work
despite
any
conflicts,
and
second,
is
that.
A
Just
you
know
if
you
present
one
percent,
you
know
we
need
more
people
to
really
kind
of
request
it
from
the
politicians
and
politicians
that
they
move
it
it's
kind
of
a
long
process,
but
without
this
like
win-win
interaction
and
consent,
consensus,
it
just
won't
happen
and
in
our
approach
we
saw
that
raising
awareness
and
education
was
key.
You
know
people
just
if
if
they
don't
get
it,
they
don't
trust
it.
A
So
currently
we're
launching
a
program
to
get
like
by
2030
more
than
a
half
of
ukrainians,
crypto
literate
and
we're
now
education,
governmental
workers,
how
to
use
metamask
and
stuff
like
that,
so
they
will
have
practical
skills.
They
will
see
it
so
that
would
really
help
us
in
the
like
or
everybody
help
in
the
crisis.
So
people
will
already
rely
and
know
that.
