According to Australian Entrepreneur and co-founder of Finder, Fred Schebesta, in a radio interview stated that everyone who has taken the COVID-19 vaccine and those who do so in future will receive $5 worth of Bitcoin as a reward.
Locals who have received the COVID-19 vaccination, as well as those who will receive it in the future, will receive $5 worth of bitcoin, according to Australian entrepreneur Fred Schebesta.
If everyone takes advantage of the offer, he will have to distribute $104 million (about $75 million USD) due to Australia’s population.
Fred Schebesta, the co-founder of the financial comparison website Finder, has disclosed that he intends to provide $5 in bitcoin to Australians who have had a coronavirus vaccine since February. Those who are about to receive a vaccine would also profit from the deal, according to the entrepreneur:
“I’ve had this crazy idea right now – I’ve never spoken about this. We’re going to give everyone in Australia who gets vaccinated $5 of Bitcoin. Get vaxxed baby, and get your Bitcoin baby as well.”
The 40-year-old blogger clarified that each person may only apply for this opportunity once. People would have to download the Finder app and show confirmation of immunization in order to claim the BTC. The digital item would then appear in their wallets after that.
A little less than half of the Australian population over the age of 16 has had at least one coronavirus vaccination, with roughly 27% having completed the entire immunization cycle.
According to the math, Schebesta would have to give away nearly half of his $155 million fortune to keep his word.
Despite the fact that some experts consider bitcoin to be a volatile and risky currency, the millionaire recently predicted that its price will reach $255,000 by 2025. If this prediction comes true, hodlers’ bitcoin exposure will increase by approximately sixfold.
Schebesta made the statement during an interview with Kyle Sandilands, a radio personality who played the song “Be Vaxxed Baby” last month to persuade people to get vaccinated against the coronavirus.
Scammers in Italy gave bogus coronavirus passes to thousands of people in exchange for cryptocurrency, while Fred Schebesta invited Australians to receive a COVID-19 shot by handing them bitcoin.
Several groups operating on the online messaging service Telegram, where locals circumvent the law and obtain immunization certificates, have been detained by Italian authorities. For the service, the vendors chose digital asset payments.
The thieves had no set fee for the illegal service, but it could be purchased for up to 500 euros ($588). Nonetheless, the Italian authorities did not say what kind of digital assets the con artists accepted.
The COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on Italy, making it one of the worst-affected countries in Europe. Over 65 percent of Italians are completely vaccinated, according to the most recent government statistics.
It’s unclear whether all of the certificates belong to persons who bought them lawfully or were involved in the bitcoin scam.
