Not sure that I would call it adoption but it surely gave Bitcoin A LOT of publicity in terms of being a currency/asset that requires zero permission. It's just unfortunate that a lot of people had to realize it only when in times like this — like they had to literally see it with their own eyes instead of just realizing it through studying it.
I definitely agree with you. I understand most people believe that because of the Ukrain Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency donations, there has been mass adoption to cryptocurrency and Bitcoin especially, what happens if most of the donations were from people that are already in the crypto space? which is possible. And as you said, creating awareness for Bitcoin/cryptos is a big one, and true that people would have seen how Bitcoin can easily move across borders without restrictions, and most also say that, regardless of how they know, let them know
