In 2021, a news website on crypto (digital money), known as Protos, reported a prediction that sperm from males who did not get the COVID-19 shots would become the next Bitcoin. The prediction occurred during a 2021 time period when there was speculation the mRNA COVID shots would cause infertility and reproductive issues.1

Crypto Currency Known as “Unvaxxed Sperm” Launched in 2021
Interest in “unvaccinated sperm” began to gain momentum and public attention in 2021. Developers capitalized on the idea by launching a crypto currency called “Unvaxxed Sperm” (nuBTC). nuBTC was launched in November 2021. According to its developers, who wanted to remain anonymous, plans for the novel currency included launching a “pureblood” version of Tinder (an online dating application) and cryogenically freezing unvaccinated sperm to be used when men and women experienced infertility in the future from the COVID shots.

The price for nuBTC increased the first week it was introduced and then, subsequently, decreased to almost zero and never recovered. The news cycle publicizing the COVID pandemic slowed down and interest in “unvaccinated sperm” declined, but did not completely disappear.2
