Cryptocurrency stunt on Everest leads to Sherpa's death
A publicity stunt by Ukrainian startup ASKfm to bury $50,000 worth of its cryptocurrency at Everest's summit has reportedly led to the death of a Sherpa. Lama Babu Sherpa, who guided four climbers sponsored by the social networking startup, went missing during the descent. The Sherpa was struck with snow blindness and then left behind by the climbers, reports said.
