Over 12,000 crypto fans attended the Bitcoin 2021 conference in Miami. Many of these celebrities have tested positive for Covid-19.
Several celebrities in the crypto world confirmed to have tested positive for Covid-19 after attending the Bitcoin 2021 conference in Miami last week. It is the largest Bitcoin event in the world, with over 12,000 attendees.
“Looks like I was shortlisted for Covid-19 from the Bitcoin Miami conference. It is true that attending large events increases the possibility of infection,” Luke Martin, the host of Profit Maximalist, posted on his personal Twitter.
Bitcoin 2021 conference organizers confirmed to Business Insider that they have sent the latest outbreak safety recommendations from the Florida Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to attendees.
In addition, the organizers also informed the audience that those at high risk of infection or who have not been vaccinated should consider waiting until next year.
In addition, the US CDC also recommends that people who are fully vaccinated may not need to wear a mask. However, unvaccinated people still have to continue to practice social distancing along with wearing a mask.
Crypto influencers have posted on Twitter about being positive for Covid-19. Eric Wall, Chief Investment Officer at Arcane Assets, along with Kaleo, a popular cryptocurrency analyst with nearly 319,000 Twitter followers, all say they are not vaccinated.
“All the people I traveled with were infected with Covid,” Larry Cermak, who works at digital asset research fund The Block, posted on his personal Twitter. He said he has yet to receive his test results.
Cermak also said that some of the people who tested positive at the event were from Europe and had not been vaccinated.
“I think people know the risks of attending but don’t want to miss the event,” Cermak wrote. The two-day conference was attended by celebrities, such as Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and the Winklevoss billionaire twins.
Erin Griffith, a New York Times reporter who followed the conference, said “everyone was hugging, no one was wearing a mask”.
