The number of deaths in coronavirus exceeded 2,000 China among others disinfect banknotes so that it spreads more slowly. They do everything to minimize image and economic losses. Sometimes, an epidemic becomes a source of income, not only due to the production of protective masks. A cryptocurrency called CoronaCoin has just been created - its value increases with the number of infected deaths.
For over a decade, investors have had access to cryptocurrency trading, i.e. a form of digital money, created and stored electronically. Bitcoin (BTC) was created as the first in 2008, which, like the next cryptocurrencies, has no physical form. It is created by IT professionals around the world and is a fluid medium of exchange. It got particularly loud about him, when less than a decade after the issue, the value of 1 BTC reached over 10 thousand $
Since then, the number of available cryptocurrencies has increased significantly. CoronaCoin (NCOV) was born due to the tragic effect of coronavirus on human health and life. According to cryptopotato.com, the total supply of NCOV is based on the global population, which means that every living person has a CoronaCoin unit. However, this was not the most surprising investors. The creators of this new cryptocurrency have determined that a certain number of its units will be removed once every 48 hours, depending on the number of victims and people infected with the virus.
Investors will benefit from death
This means that investors will benefit if the virus continues to spread. Although it was announced that "part of the funds is to be given to the Red Cross to fight nCov", it has not been specified how and on what scale this should take place.
Meanwhile, China has decided to take care of the health of those who use currencies not for speculation, but for daily payments. According to The Economic Times, banks use UV light or high temperatures to disinfect yuan. Then they secure the cash by closing and storing it for 7 to 14 days, depending on the scale of the threat in the region. "Decontaminated" money goes back into circulation.
The authors of the article note that the authorities of the People's Republic of China are trying to minimize the spread of coronavirus. Containers with handkerchiefs are installed in the lifts, with which everyone can "touch" the buttons in a "safe way". Companies have also increased the production of protective masks, which are still missing. Last week, EU countries, including Poland, declared the delivery of personal protective equipment to threatened areas.
