Idris Elba's cautious approach to crypto

Idris Elba, the British actor and filmmaker, revealed that he turned down numerous opportunities to participate in the cryptocurrency frenzy. While many celebrities endorsed crypto services and released their own NFTs and crypto coins, Elba abstained, realizing that he was being used merely as a means to make money. This decision proved wise as the crypto industry experienced a downturn in the past 18 months, with several high-profile failures and regulatory scrutiny. Elba, however, remains interested in the technology and sees potential in using crypto's technical infrastructure to address financial inclusion issues in West Africa.
