Bitcoin Forum

Title says it all. If you spot celebrity endorsing Bitcoin, post it here.

Nassim Taleb: "Bitcoin is the beginning of something great: a currency without a government, something necessary and imperative."

wasn't Ashton Kutcher giving out free bitcoins on twitter back in the day ?

I figured the Winkelvoss announcement equaled "peak bitcoin" for a while.

we need to get tech celebrities to start endoring

Let's get Michael Douglas to do it.

"It's all about the Satoshi's, kid... the rest is just conversation."

His Grade-A investments invested in BitPay.  The giving away of Bitcoins on Twitter may have been true, but I think more likly to be a reference back to this post on the forum in early March:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149132.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149132.0)

Sure kid... I can do it.

Author of "Mechanics of Freedom" ?

Dustin Hoffman:  One Word: Bitcoins

I think the celebs to go after are the big environmental/climate change supporters.  Dicaprio and Pitt come immediately to mind - but there are plenty.

Bitcoin is so easy on the environment compared to gold, or even paper fiat, that it's a pretty obvious direction to take.  And blood diamonds are only a reflection of the gold-mining industry in most parts of the world.

Of course, the reason this isn't actively pursued is political, and clear.  Missed opportunities.  Pity...

I have some emails out though.

Yes, althought it is The Machinery of Freedom. And he is also the son of Milton Friedman.

Celebs should be a sub-board, like Press!

What, if any, effect would the endorsement of a major hollywood celebrity have on the USD / BTC exchange?

Who's going to be the first rapper to sport an enormous blinged-out BTC medallion on his gold chain?  Feels like this should be coming along any day now...

Milton Friedman was in favor even before Bitcoin existed.

"The one thing that's missing, but that will soon be developed, it's a reliable e-cash. A method where buying on the internet you can transfer funds from A to B, without A knowing B or B knowing A. The way in wich I can take a 20 dollar bill and hand it over to you and there's no record of where it came from. And you may get that without knowing who I am. That kind of thing will develop on the Internet."

It's the future.  ;)

Don't forget the two episodes of "The Good Wife" that featured Bitcoin.

Celebrities endorsing bitcoin would make it look as stupid as the celebrity endorser... just my opinion.

Ashton Kuthcher

Jonathan Goldsmith

Yeah, because we use a shitload of electricity to mine them, very environmental friendly :P

And a pet dog has a bigger carbon footprint than a 4x4!

For celebrities, image is everything, leave the facts at home! ;)

Ill Bill a rapper had the symbol in his music video http://youtu.be/BLwbaqpNjqo

Haha, I remember when some smartass tweeted that He won't consider Bitcoin as a currency till rappers are bracking how much BTC they have. :D

Can add Kevin Rose to that list
