The Bitcoin 2021🔴 conference may have come and gone, but it’s having a lingering impact as attendees are beginning to test positive for CO♒VID-19.
The Bitcoin convention was held last weekend in Miami, with some 12,000 attendees. As one of the first in-pꦚerson events to happen since th♏e pandemic’s outbreak, Bitcoin 2021 had no mask mandates or proof-of-vaccination requirements. People came from all over the world, mingling for three days.
In the aftermath of the event, people started testing positive, leading some to laꦅbel the conference a “super spreader event.”

Some Twitter users are already condemnཧing those who at🍌tended without being vaccinated, saying it showed reckless disregard for the health of others.
I can’t believe people attended a massivജe in person conference without being vaccinated. It’s not just risky for themselves but i🐼t is reckless in regards to others

While it’s not🧜 clear how many have been infected, some users indicated entire 🦂groups of people they were hanging out with have all tested positive.
Everyone who I hung out with in Miami got covid. Luckily for me I hung out about one feet above every🍬one
