Interestingly, the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 virus has engulfed the global population with death rates surging at an alarming pace. The epidemic has not just crippled the global healthcare sector but has also given a major jolt to the financial arena as well. An array of world-acclaimed conferences are forced to be rescheduled or canceled because of the Corona attack. These include The Bitcoin Reformation conference, The ANON Summit, Edge Europe, Google I/O conference, the cryptocurrency conference, etc.
The first instance of the coronavirus was witnessed in the Chinese district of Wuhan. In no time, the disease marked its presence in all the major countries and regions around the globe. The governments and global relief organizations are putting in their best efforts to cope with the issue in the best possible manner. The Crypto community has shown active participation in the relief operations carried upon by various organizations in different parts of the world. Donations, medical supplies aid, and other tools and services are being sponsored by the biggest names of the crypto industry, such as Justin Sun, giving a helping hand to the relief operations.
