Crypto Community Faces Series of Robberies in Brussels During Conference

A series of robberies targeting individuals associated with the cryptocurrency community have been reported in Brussels. Victims, often identified by their cryptocurrency-themed attire, such as BAYC outfits, have shared their experiences of being robbed during a well-advertised crypto conference in the city. Some individuals noted that robbers returned their funds upon discovering they held worthless meme coins. Comparisons have been drawn to crypto events in America, where such incidents were reportedly less frequent. The incidents have sparked discussions about safety, the visibility of wealth in public spaces, and the role of immigrants.
