Kevin O'Leary: NYC hotel wants to use a $400 million cryptocoin offering to sell ownership like a stock - https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/19/kevin-oleary-new-york-city-hotel-hopes-to-launch-400-million-dollar-coin-offering.html

https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/20/celebrities-who-have-endorsed-or-invested-in-cryptocurrency.html

Paris Hilton was involved in cryptocurrency and openly announced her participation in at least 1 ICO, but she seems to have kept silent lately.
Floyd Mayweather, Ghostface Killah and Jamie Foxx are others listed in the same article.

John Oliver had an episode about crypto a while back, in it he showed a clip of a reporter asking Michael Keaton about Bitcoin.
Here's the clip with the correct time stamp: https://youtu.be/g6iDZspbRMg?t=80

So you can add Michael Keaton to your list, I think that this counts as him 'embracing Bitcoin' ;-)

There are quite a few Bollywood actors like Shilpa Shetty, Nargis Fakhri, etc. who have promoted and enticed the public to get involved in BTC, although they haven't disclosed their investments or things like that, primarily due to uncertain regulations. Once the air clears up, I'm sure they'll come out of their 'closet'.  ;)

He is invested in crypto since 2013 and also have ownership stakes in two blockchain companies: Follow Coin (https://followcoin.io/) and Vezt (https://www.vezt.co/). Here is a great interview with him about cryptocurrencies - http://www.xxlmag.com/lifestyle/tech/2018/01/nipsey-hussle-guide-bitcoin-cryptocurrency/ . I especially like this part:

This is just propaganda and FOMO. And they do not "embrace" bitcoins, perhaps they have some "exposure" by the broker that manages their money but they do not go out there paying his daily coffee with Bitcoin or any other crypto. And they do not get paid their salaries in Bitcoins either.

Noted, bud.

FWIW, Many More would make a fine name for a rock band.

It's obvious that someone from entertainment will join crypto since they can easily spread about their token or coin by just saying it through the interview.

And since they have money to spare and dare to earn from cryptos too, nothing wrong with it.

Charlie Shrem found bitcoins in 2011; he purchased his first batch for between $3-4 a piece. He purchased thousands more when they increased to $20.

Good list. Rooting for more and more popular personalities around the world joining this crypto currency craze. These people helps a lot in making crypto popular as we cannot really get much advertisement especially from the media which is under the grip of the banks.

Somebody kick me in the balls for not listing submissions in alphabetical order in the OP so that subsequent posters can easily see who has or has not been included. Oh wait ...

Unless I missed it on your list, I think it's missing these two:

1)  Dave Carlson:  https://baseberry.com/top-4-bitcoin-millionaires-2017/

Dave Carlson is considered a the most influential billionaire in Bitcoin’s records. Charlie founded BitInstant from these funds. He is worth $45 million money accrued from investing in Bitcoin.

2)  Jered Kenna:  https://news.bitcoin.com/kenna-gets-crafty-colombia/

He is one of the millionaires in Bitcoin with $30 million.  Former US Marine Jered Kenna started investing in Bitcoin at the price of just 20 cents per coin.

There's a couple of solutions to this:

1)  You could cut & paste the list in excel spreadsheet, sort the list in alphabetical order and then re-edit your post.

2)  Subsequent posters can do the same, or cut & paste in word processor and use the "find & replace" feature of that word processing document to find using keywords.

I prefer the first option.

That's a great news though because many would get encouraged by using it

I may add them later, opting for now to quasi-stick to real celebs, politicians, etc., oppose to those who made bank thanks to the advent of the crypto space. I'm adding Max Keiser now.

Option 1 won't work for entries like Kasotsuka Shojo, the name of a band.

May I suggest users review the list and suggest corrections pertaining to alphabetization or any errors on my part?

BTW, I'm gave you 1+ sM for your kind reply, bud.  :-*

Oh, and reading the last post, I would suggest breaking it down by industry (TV/Movies, Sports, Music, Business, Politics etc.), and then alphabetically within those categories if needed. That would probably read a lot easier for anyone interested.

Hey, I could even break it down by sex, race, creed, religion and political party affiliation. BTW, thanks, bud, for the great suggestions. Adding them now.

Hahaha, I guess I did come across as a bit of a teacher...I'll leave the decision up to you  :D

It looks as though you can add Luis Figo to the list too (https://www.24ur.com/novice/gospodarstvo/zgodovinski-dogodek-za-slovenski-poslovni-svet-marko-filej-podjetje-predstavil-na-borzi-nasdaq.html). The video is in Slovenian, but I'm pretty sure he's signing up with Ronaldinho and Roberto Carlos at SportyCo (RCD Espanyol sponsors).

Was trying to find another link in English to confirm it and came across this too.

Joe Girardi (Ex New York Yankees Manager) https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6383878340884910080

Some of the celebrities are just making statement about bitcoins to remain in news. I am sure that there are many others who are investing a lot of money but they will not announce this in public. I would be very surprised if Sharukh Khan has not invested in this.

I would like to point out a sad truth about most of the Bollywood celebrities that are promoting crypto.
All of them are sharing links to Amit Bharadwaj's Ebook about Crypto which is a known scammer and probably he used the scammed money to pay these actors to promote his ebook.
I liked your idea of this list and its good to see celebs spread their word about crypto.

The celebs are damn famous here and they have enough fiats to be afforded to lose

Nice catch, but still them Bollywood celebs are/were instrumental in introducing crypto to ~two billion eyeballs.

Stephen Curry

CryptoKitties took off with its cute blockchain-based collectible kittens last fall. Now, it is bringing sports celebrities into mix, starting with collectibles from Golden State Warriors’ star basketball player Stephen Curry.

The first-ever celebrity-branded CryptoKitty will go up for auction today. CryptoKitties became a sensation after it debuted in November as a collectible game built on top of a blockchain and the Ethereum cryptocurrency. In March, the CryptoKitties maker, Axiom Zen game studio, spun out as a separate company and raised $12 million in funding from Andreessen Horowitz and Union Square Ventures.

The Curry kitties will probably draw a lot of attention. As of March, CryptoKitties had gained more than 1.5 million users who had conducted more than $40 million in transactions. Some of the game’s most popular cats have sold for the equivalent of more than $200,000.

VentureBeat (https://venturebeat.com/2018/05/07/warriors-steph-curry-will-auction-off-celebrity-cryptokitties/)

Nice. Doesn't this make you feel like you're part off the cool crowd?

Important step in going mainstream.

Marcelo Tas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcelo_Tas) (actor and former host of ultrapopular comedy-news show CQC, famous TV personality) is into crypto and recently recorded a radio column about Bitcoin and Ethereum:

https://www.facebook.com/MarceloTas/posts/1540721365976983

Also, the Neymar thing a few posts back looks like fake news.

Now this only proves how legit Bitcoin is as oppose to all the scam accusations by people who doesn't even have an idea what Bitcoin is! This list shows credible celebrities who in their own fame can easily promote Bitcoin. Which is why I don't understand why so many people or entities are against Bitcoin or the crypto market as a whole?!

Gwyneth Paltrow promotes crystal healing, doesn't mean I'm going to do that instead of going to a doctor...

Manny Pacquiao(Boxing World Champion) - GCOX signed Mr. Pacquiao as its first celebrity endorser and investor. The senator and boxing champion will release his own “celebrity token” called Pac Coin. Pac Coins holders can get “Team Pacquiao” merchandise. Holders of the coin can also use it to get exclusive Manny Pacquiao content. Manny also backed up Stox in 2017.
Reference: https://bitpinas.com/news/pac-coin-philippines-manny-pacquiao/

if a lot of artists who do bitcoin promotion and already many who know bitcoin most likely this artist also has started to have bitcoin and should be able to trigger price movement bitcoin.

Are Filipino(Philippines) celebrity considered?

If such great personalities are advertising bitcoin and promoting the use of bitcoin every where then there must be something in the bitcoin noe, otherwise why these personalities promotes bitcoin and will spoil their image if bitcoin is not that much worth of being trusted. Bitcoin is very much sustainable crypto currency and most of the people in the world has not understood this fact, now only governments needs to understand this and needs to legalise bitcoin in their nation so that bitcoin could prove beneficial for the entire humanity and mankind.

Looks like Stormy Daniels has jumped on the bandwagon, partnering up with one of the new 'adult' cryptocurrencies...

are there still people thinking that all those cebs are really embracing new icos or crowdfundings? came on guys, we all know that they are paid shills after all

should more celebrities introduce bitcoin and talk about bitcoin should bitcoin be a lot of enthusiasts and make a famous bitcoin so it can trigger a rise in bitcoin prices.

Not sure if you have specific criteria for celebrities, but here is a link to one of country's celebrities (who has some international movies) turned crypto endorser:

Paolo Bediones: https://twitter.com/paolobediones/status/935016411746799616?lang=en

Some of the celebrities are just making statement about bitcoins to remain in news. I liked your idea of this list and its good to see celebs spread their word about crypto.

These ICOs (https://coincodex.com/ico-calendar/) mostly turned out badly. Here's a good overview of most interesting celebrities that indorsed ICOs:

https://coincodex.com/article/2535/celebrities-and-icos/

Wow, that's an impressive list. I don't know, actually all these celebrities have bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, but it's really inspiring to keep investing in cryptocurrency.

This is a very long list, I did not even expect that so many famous people invest in cryptocurrency. By the way, this can motivate many people to also start investing and see the future in cryptocurrency.

I will also post him. You just posted it ahead of time. Lol. Anyway, Manny is also a celebrity/senator that welcome the cryptocurrency in his life. I am also happy that he is an open minded in the world of crypto. In fact, he wanted to make also a coin with Mayweather. Just dunno if it was true or fake news. But, I think he will drive the cryptocurrency in Philippines.

Forgotten for the great Elon Musk!
