It looks like a lot of celebrities are getting interested in investing or buying some bitcoin.

With a huge number of followers, that was good publicity on bitcoin and for the exchange, Binance America, although not really surprising for me as I saw it as normal for a famous personality to get involved in cryptocurrency.

Who knows, she can attract more personality with her action of involving crypto in her financial plans.

I like their hashtag; #EducateDontIntimidate  8)

I know right? Is this for those people that might think she wanted to do the same for her followers? or maybe for those haters of bitcoin. Either way, she has 300K followers and I think some of them might consider investing or buy their first mBTC maybe or BTC. Here is the full interview of the CEO of Binance US and Christie Pearce Rampone

More like Binance is paying celebrities to "organically" promote their business, which also means they are promoting Bitcoin. Imo it's not such a great thing, people shouldn't be getting their cryptocurrency opinions from Olympic athletes and other celebrities, they have zero qualifications on the subject and can be shilling for altcoins just as easily.

When I see this type of news, I am more excited to be in the crypto community.
Olympic gold medalist Cristie Pearce Rampone can make the most of her Financial fitness business with bitcoin as well as her charitable contributions. There are amazing things she can do now with Bicoin.
The sky is the limit!

It's great because Bitcoin is entering what we could call a new phase where it becomes fashionable.

Before that it was first seen as money of the Internet nerds, then as a speculative investment compared to gambling, fools gold, to finally become a real investment and digital gold, a gold substitute for millenials.

Now it's becoming trendy with people wanting to have it so that they don't get left behind and have something to talk about at parties. Let's see what the next year will bring.

Good move, but i wonder if she learned about keeping it in her own wallet, rather than on Binance's wallets...

Something tells me, that latter part was probably not conveyed. Americans would do well to save their wealth in something not fiat, that could lose value suddenly especially when politicians print like there is no tomorrow.

There is of course the indirect exposure of having such figures talk about Bitcoin. I'm surprised she didn't end being led to bnb, or is that unavailable for the US?

It can increase the reputation of bitcoin and Binance, thanks for your trust Ms. Christie, you're really a good model for this. We're rooting for more famous and popular people to engage in bitcoin so that we can increase the intensity of mass adoption in our country. I wonder what if many popular celebrities engage in cryptocurrency, it is hard to imagine that they risks their money just to believe in bitcoin, that's an outstanding move.

Bitcoin will never fail you no matter how volatile it is. Just be patient and calm while manipulating bitcoin in the market for a much better quality of using and holding it. Investing in bitcoin is always a good choice to whoever invest to it. Bitcoin's exposure to the public or to the mass should be increased and leveled up so that we will not have a hard time wasting our time promoting it with ourselves only, thanks to those celebrities. Ms. Christie Pearce Rampone, You're a legend!

That hashtag is on point.
 
I think it relates to the last drama that JK Rowling made or sort of subliminal message through that hashtag. Anyway, congratulations to her that she had bought her very first bitcoin just after the halving.

There's more for her to come.

I really hope that such celebrities also get convinced to buy a hardware wallet, else the news may turn bad sooner or later.

Yes, the hashtag is really great! Because most noncrypto users who are not well-informed in crypto has negative perception towards the use of it. But once you educate them and at least inform them about the benefits, I am more than positive that they will change their stance in crypto esp bitcoin. If more and more celebrities will join this kind of approach, people will be more willing to know more about crypto and not be negative about it.

I had the same feeling on reading the hashtags

"I talk with somebody from BINANCE, and ..I also bought some bitcoins"
vs
"I bought Bitcoins! after I had a talk with a friend!

Anyhow, as much as I dislike both shilling and binance, maybe something good will come out of this. After all, it's better than nothing!


You can't store these
https://i.imgur.com/IWRJtsT.png
in a hardware wallet.  ;D

It's good thing that bitcoin brought to another level since for sure her post can gather more attention on what she was going to but my question about her is  can she handle the volatility of the market? If she is brought by hype for sure he will get panic when the price is dumping, But let's hope that she was well educated for the talks and she is open for the possibilities of the moving market of bitcoins.

It seems so to me too, unless the US Binance CEO and Christie are not some old friends so it all turned out to be spontaneous, which is a less likely option in this case. But while this is a good advertisement for BTC, one should not believe that her followers will immediately jump into the BTC wagon (at least not most of them). Personally, I am not one of those who listen to the advice of celebrities, because in most cases they promote what they are paid for.

---

I doubt in that, it is in the interest of exchanges to keep as many crypto funds under their control, and if there is truth in the data that can be found on the internet, millions of BTCs are right there - under the control of a very small number of people. Good for their business, bad for those who think Mt.Gox can never happen again.

This is a common thing in the crypto world. Celebrities like Ashton Kutcher, 50 Cent etc have invested in cryptocurrencies and this does help attract more people to the crypto world, but is definitely not enough.

Many big celebrities need to invest in crypto since the current number of celebrity investors is quite low. Also, they need to encourage their followers to use BTC as a payment method and not as an asset.

If celebrities themselves investment in bitcoin & start promoting it, then that can be the reason of increasing the price of bitcoin Csuse more people can know about bitcoin by them. That's really a good news for btc lovers when btc Stucks between 9200$ to 9800$

Mentioning Binance is almost obvious that its a paid tweet.
Its still a good publicity for BTC even if Binance are buying their tweets. But they should just pick the ones who are inclined to trading. Or probably celebrities who once a upon a time in a movie that is related to trading probably Leonardo DiCaprio, he has more followers too.

in my opinion this is something very good because more people will be interested in bitcoin. Celebrities have a habit of copying what another celebrity did because they don't like to lose to another celebrity. who knows with this purchase of bitcoin stimulate more celebrities buy many bitcoins. What worries me Is how many bitcoins these celebrities buy


well, it looks like binance wants to have a high profile in the world, they take giant steps every year

although CPR did it for the first time to buy Bitcoin by getting (medal) it gets, this is a step in the right direction and it is good for investing in futures, for him if he understands about Bitcoin.

At least Christie Pearce Rampone fans, there must be someone who follows CPR's footsteps to do the same thing as investing in Bitcoin, maybe CPR already knows what will happen next to the value of Bitcoin after halving, so he decided to buy Bitcoin.

Possible, it's a win-win situation for Binance, we have seen this kind of stunt being pulled in 2017 wherein a lot of projects are paying high profile celebrities like Floyd to promote their project. So most likely, Binance, follow this blue print in order to capture audiences, specially followers Christie Pearce Rampone. But still this is a good publicity stunt for BTC.

We know how competitive the binance is they even acquire the most trusted crypto data provider, Coinmarketcap, so there may be a reason why Christie is doing it. Anyways this is great advertisement for bitcoin, but I'm thinking if bitcoin falls down people would be like " I told you not to...... blah" If this is true, how much do you think did binance pay for this action?

This could have been a better news if no one is involve, just by her that he discovered the bitcoin and invested into it.


yeah as an exchange, huge exchange like binance,  promoting hardware wallet is like a suicide business that is a counterpart of an exchange as they regulate crypto.

Advertisement from Binance or not, did the tweet attract some of her fans to BTC or not? It did, and that's what matters. We've seen a lot of celebrities and known personalities get into BTC or somehow advertise it (paid or not) in the recent years, and that speaks words.

I think advertising BTC is a risky thing itself anyway, a risk you have to assume - you don't want hoards of fans come in and insult your family every tweet for making them lose money, which makes me think she might've done some research herself beforehand.

It's becoming trendy, perhaps

As long as new investors can handle the wild price swings and avoid low ranked exchanges and all the dodgy scams around the place they should enjoy being a part of this evolution

It feels good to own a bit of digital gold to HODL for that one day when it eventually pays off (or implodes to zero)

Don't invest more than you can afford to lose and be prepared to lose up to 90% of your investment if you unfortunately invested during a major pump

Buy when the technical indicators show oversold conditions only, and if you're buying Bitcoin for the long term anywhere under $10,000 is a decent entry point now just wait for the dips

I took some time and read the comments below the tweet, and it’s mostly about congratulatory messages - Welcome to the team&Welcome aboard - and many of tweets are with hashtag of BA, which convinces me even more that it is a paid advertisement. Out of almost 310k followers, the question is how many of them will see the message at all, and how many of them will understand what it is all about.

The whole thing is actually focused on the US market, maybe Binance wants to take his share of all those huge stimulus checks that Americans are getting these days :)

Agree this is a great advertisement of Binance but I don't think it was intentionally maybe it is just a simple tweet from Christie Pearce Rampone updating her followers than he already had the go signal on bitcoin.

Still, great news since she is advertising bitcoin the more investor of bitcoin the higher the market price could pump especially with this tweeter posts. :)

I can also see how something bad can come out of this - laymen rushing to buy BTC without doing their research, and ending up getting rekt by many of the common pitfalls in this field - leaving coins on exchange and getting hacked, downloading fake wallet, losing their seed, etc. I'd prefer if at this stage people learned about Bitcoin from good sources that guided them through all the dangers.

Yeah there are so many celebrities that are also investing in bitcoin and it is great because a lot of people might become interested too because of his tweet.


I think Binance is a good exchange to invest to. The market price is still lower than 10k$ so it is a great opportunity for long term investment maybe she doesn't have a lot of knowledge in bitcoin or investment so investing at this moment is already a good move at the same time she is promoting bitcoin because a lot of people is going to see her tweet.

Thats what im thinking where this is just part of marketing stunt in side of Binance since they do know that it can give out significant exposure if they do really target out famous people which will give out publicity of their platform and we dont even know if that whole bitcoin was purchased is totally free or
given on said Gold medalist and just made up some positive words towards it and at the same time it do mentioned about Binance platform.
I do say that this is some sort of casual marketing strategies and this isnt really surprising at all.They're clever when it comes to this one and
that what makes them to the top on where they do really know on what theyre doing.

I don't think it will have that much influence..
An influencer is good when it comes to simple things, buy that cream, tweet that, watch that movie, that girl is hot.
When it comes to anything more difficult than throwing a pizza in an oven 99% of them quit, they give a like or a thumb up but will never take the advice.

And this is financial advice, we will have to cut a lot of their fans who are following her for different reasons, a lot with no financial means to invest and out of the few that remains most of them will do a bit of research. So I will think that the negative effects and unwanted situations will be negligible.

Yeah, I would prefer the same as you but there is one thing, the ones that wanted to and are able to deal with those problems have mostly already heard and bought, the ones not convinced already are the guys either too lazy or that are have no trust in the coin at all. Once mass adoption finally happens to prepare for a wave of situations like that, it's just like with the aviation industry, planes are quite safe, till you let everyone fly one .....

That's a good publicity for Bitcoin at large, although what I saw in regard to the harshtag# is more like Binance know more about this tweet from her, maybe another means to get the public notice around the world and they have gotten that based on this tweet. This could spur the adoption of Bitcoin to some extent even though within some environ(among the elites). That was a good move from her to get into the world of Bitcoin (cryptocurrency).

That's quite interesting to know. At least now i know of this lady and Akon as some of the celebrities that are interested in cryptocurrencies. Let's hope this would be a way to turn the global music industry into accepting digital forms of payments for their activities.

In hindsight it is true that these athletes and celebrities does not qualify on the subject and there is no way they can explain anything to others about bitcoin but they have millions of fan following and if they spread the word on social media people will look at what is that they are talking about and it can influence people who have not heard or never bothered to learn about bitcoin.

If only those celebrities who already bought BTC have some confidence to go public as she does, there will be a slight spike on the price at the market depends how popular the celebrities are. that's a free promotion especially when they just tweet or post it on social media, the impact would be huge. But they need only to promote Bitcoin like she does because when they promote other coins they bought, I think there would be trouble especially when they promote coins like XRP or any other copy cat of BTC out there.

Many popular individual are joining - JP Morgan, JK Howling and even stock market investors have joined the fray as the financial market plunges and prints infinite value of paper money this goes to show how Bitcoin has been considered as safe haven asset and some people already lose confidence in our monetary system while the mainstream media is staying silent about it.

When she said that she bought her first piece of bitcoin, was she pertaining to 1 BTC?

It's a great thing to know that more people are engaging into cryptocurrency nowadays, but I just want the other people to know that if we are going to invest in bitcoin, it isn't necessary to buy exactly 1 or above 1 BTC. You can consider yourself bitcoin investor even if you just obtain small portion of it. That's how we should value bitcoin.

Anyway, the popularity of bitcoin to celebrities could potentially attract their fans, and might lead to greater market adoption.

We already have some celebrities and famous personalities who did invest with Bitcoin and we actually need more influencing figures because they can helping the cause in the spread and adoption of the cryptocurrency movement. I am sure that Christie Pearce Rampone can be contributing towards making Bitcoin more credible, interesting and attractive in the eyes of many especially with her own circle. yes, she may not be that major factor but anything that helps counts a lot...

This news made me speechless, to be honest I am a fan of Christie Pearce Rampone. Now my idol decided to buy bitcoin, of course
I am very happy to hear that. I'm sure the popularity of Christie Pearce Rampone can promote bitcoin, at least Christie Pearce Rampone's
follower will follow in the footsteps of his idol by buying bitcoin. Such as Binance American will focus on promoting cryptocurrency through
famous people. I hope more and more famous people adopt bitcoin.

reading about her achievements here?

https://christiepearce.com/about/

looks like She is really an sports asset of America and obviously the world.

And this is all what we need now to invest in crypto because they will lure many investors specially their supporters
that will believe and here every decisions.

we have seen Many Celebrities entering crypto investments and this is very pleasing in our part being early adopter
 than them.

at least now this is another start of new adoption,from sports legends that has good reputation and for sure will
 bring good investors inside.

Soccer is not the most popular sport in the USA, especially women soccer. Most Americans are primarily crazy about American football, basketball, baseball, or ice hockey. Christie has definitely become known for her achievements in international sporting events, but if we’re being honest, she’s far from some planet-famous sports star. I’m sure not even most Americans have ever heard of it, let alone the rest of the world. I’m sure not even most Americans have ever heard of it, let alone the rest of the world.

I'll just say what I've said many times so far.
I don't think that news about celebrities and other public persons connected with Bitcoin are actually relevant for Bitcoin community.
Their goal is primarily their own promotion and publicist, not promotion or support to Bitcoin so the impact of such news isn't that big and important, it's just that it's given much bigger media space than they actually deserve.

It was a good initiation it is good to buy bitcoin while the market price of the coin falls down which is a good opportunity to make a huge profit for the upcoming market bullish market again. Also, it looks like an advertisement for the bitcoin because a popular person bought a bitcoin with a high reputation and popularity it is getting too much attraction to bitcoin and there is a possibility that many people will follow the decision of the gold medalist and buy bitcoin too.


Those are the people who realise the use and purpose of the bitcoin also the economy today are rapidly falling down and the bitcoin is we see becomes the safe haven which is a good opportunity to make an investment and avoid losing up our funds.

 celebrity ? i though celebrity means actor and actreses or maybe he is also an actress ? many actors and actreses were already involved on btc but this is my first time to witness an athlete that invest in btc  . still nice to hear that  . also nicer because she herself have talk and recomend btc to her fans  while before other celebrities dont do this but they just only invest for thier selves  , thats okay too so that people wont blame them if ever that people do something wrong with thier btc's

What does 'celebrity' means is a famous person or has a wide public recognition ( so this must be a person or a group ) it's not just an actress or an actor that you see on television. Christie is a professional soccer player (defender) in America and an Olympic gold medalist, that's why the public knows her and we can reference to her as a celebrity. There are only few public figure that is broadcasting their involvement with bitcoin due to some security purposes, on Christie's case BinanceAmerica is on her part and they know how to do advertising.

If I'm a celebrity that has millions of followers, I would recommend bitcoin at their own risk coz it's difficult to promote uncertainty and I just might be called a scammer once bitcoin plummeted to the ground. It's okay to promote but to a certain boundaries.

You're right but if you watch the video conversation between her and the Binance US CEO, they are actually talking about investment and Binance US CEO told about investment in bitcoin which I'm sure she'll also teach her how to secure her holding.

Celebrity can be anyone who's famous, celebrated by people and could be into entertainment or sport.

Alot of actors are athletes are into crypto and if not some football clubs in EU wont have issue their own token but only few of them come out to talk about it.

Nice to know, she have added another Gold to her already acquired Gold from the Olympics, she is very optimistic about her investment which is good, I hope because of her exposure and high status more of her fans and followers will get to know about btc too, I hope her investment will increase in the future.

Christie Pearce Rampone investing in bitcoin isn't due to the reason that she believes in bitcoin or Crypto, but from what i believe she is investing in bitcoin for the reason of quick return on her investment. The Binance america CEO also gets benefitted from this trade as she will Hain many clients if Christie Pearce Rampone makes a good return on her investment as then she will refer her friends to Binance for buying bitcoins.

It is probably an endorsement for the exchange (binance America)
Celebrities or influences are paid a huge amount of money due to the huge number of followers on their social media accounts

As I said this can be an endorsement to the exchange and I wouldn't be the first time a  celebrity did an endorsement to a crypto project
Luis suarez and Floyd mayweather did an endorsement to an ethereum based prediction market
Jamie fox endorsing cobinhood exchange, DJ khaled endorsing an ICO
And the list goes on..

I'm not going to ousts them by name, but I have been in touch with another Olympic medalist who is a big cryptocurrency or more specifically bitcoin supporter.  The only thing I will say is they play volleyball.  These guys aren't alone though, there are quite a few athletes in this space from Richard Sherman ( NFL player ) to Floyd Mayweather ( Champion boxer/human scum-bag).

Oh you mean Floyd and DJ Khaled who have been charged by SEC Two Celebrities Charged With Unlawfully Touting Coin Offerings (https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2018-268)? Floyd was paid $100,000 and DJ Khaled $50,000 for promoting a scam project Centra. Nothing against, Christie Pearce Rampone here, but her coming out of nowhere and then just shill Bitcoin because she has a pep-talk from someone inside Binance? What are chances that she jump on the bandwagon? Hmm..

I wish a lot of people, not only celebrities are also willing to get educated about crypto just like the hashtag she used. It's really interesting to see influential people recognizing bitcoin and crypto because their accounts are good platforms in promoting it to the public, regardless if it's paid or not. But I also hope that the public won't just easily believe in what the celebrities are saying without researching it because scammers can also use this as an opportunity to deceive them.

So I checked her account a little bit, I hope that she already know other possibilities in crypto. Also, she has over 300k followers on twitter, probably some of it will get attracted in learning bitcoin. It's not that big of a contribution in the crypto community, but at least she was able to publicize her support towards bitcoin.

This is somehow a great advertisement for Bitcoin as this personality has a huge amount of followers. This is a great news for the  bitcoin community as it opens the eye of the followers of her about what Bitcoin is and how it will be beneficial for her.

There is an impressive number of public figures who have shown their interest in investing their fortunes in cryptocurrency for business ventures and more. Back in 2013 Snoop Dog was selling his albums at 0.3 Bitcoins. Another famous personality Mike Tyson in collaboration with Bitcoin Direct, he came up with a Bitcoin Wallet and in 2015 he launched ATM system, a virtual wallet operated using bitcoins. So its not the first time celebrities are taking interest and investing in crypto.

I really agree with your opinion, that as a figure with many followers we know with a blue check by Twitter, it is a sign that there is recognition of him. with what was said at least many people who want to know what has been said about bitcoin. at least a lot of people will try to find out what bitcoin is and then they just need to decide what to do.

Undoubtedly, such situations are very beneficial for the entire cryptocurrency market, because thanks to fans of famous people who invest in cryptocurrency, the number of interested people increases, and accordingly, investments in cryptocurrency increase. But as regards the choice of the gold medalist to invest in cryptocurrency, I believe that famous people who have a lot of money, while managing their common sense, always make investments in different values, including not only precious metals, stones and securities, but also cryptocurrency. I believe that there are many more such rich people, just no one wants to advertise their actions regarding investments in cryptocurrency.

Finally there are athletes who dare to be open to the public about bitcoin investment, this is good news for the development of bitcoin.
Christie Pearce Rampone, who is an Olympic athlete after having a direct conversation with the CEO of Binance America, his mind immediately
opened and bought bitcoin for the first time. Good job from Catherine Coley, the CEO of Binance America, is indeed the best promotion is to
introduce bitcoin to famous people.

Her influenced will bring attentions to those people who are following her, there still many people around who doesn't have any ideas regarding to this investment cryptocurrency. Interest coming from her followers adds potentials for more newcomers from this market.

She can bring people if she will keep providing education regarding to this investment, her popularities will adds up to get more possible investors.

Celebrities are the famous individuals we have in our societies, those individuals have millions of followership and have influence on them. Their strengths lay on their followers, what they speak to their followers is or are their last command  sometimes, they are the game changers in the social world and they have great influence on the internet. For a celebrity to have bought some bitcoin mean a huge impact is ahead of Bitcoin. Let hope this improve the awareness of Bitcoin to the society.

To be honest I do not believe in the 'celebrity glamour' at all - they're not the most skilled, there are people out there who would deserve to be praised but you can't think of anyone who has had some videos and followers as celebrities - they're just normal people, definitely not the builders of this world, the thinkers or the entrepreneurs. Of course, with no names this can be interpreted in many ways!

In any way, the fact is that if an influencer of any kind is backing up crypto then I have no problem sticking up for these people - they probably understand more than the so called stereotypical 'celebrity' and I wish there were more people using their influence in a more productive, positive manner - the world would probably advance at a much faster rate!

if nothing else, some of her followers will take a look at bitcoin and check for themselves. though they dont have the real foundation yet they can influence their followers to check out on cryptocurrency. and that will be their help - add more people that will be interested on crypto.

To introduce celebrities into crypto universe is a smart movement from many crypto exchanges and other related businesses, as they work promoting not only crypto currencies, but also crypto businesses. Although I can't assure this athlete is being paid to promote bitcoin in this case, I see no problem on this.
The range of this kind of advertisement is too long: celebrities can reach not only their fans and followers, but also at media vehicles in general. The only issue is when celebrities start promoting ponzi schemes or the called shit coins, but that is not the case here.

This is a good exposure for cryptocurrency specifically to bitcoin. This could bring little by little a good market for bitcoin and could add volatility in the future since btc had becoming expensive now and that it stabilize a bit.

However, good news like this had also been contradicted by the scammers issue using bitcoin to scam others. Hope to see their activities to stop or minimize to so that many will going to trust bitcoin. These scammers around is not really good for bitcoin or cryptocurrency.

I don't think she was only paid for doing such publicity because it would be ineffective in the first place. Imagine, why would I pay someone who is not so popular and not so influential person unlike Hollywood celebrities/famous athletes to advertise bitcoin (even let's say the Binance as well) ;D? So for me, it was a true and genuine adoption. What a good news after all, it brings positive vibe for all of us.

Yes, it is a true adoption. More celebrities are using cryptocurrency for investment, but very few are known to the outer world. Some even tried creating their own cryptocurrency. One such is the coin from Akon, he recently spoke to the radio briefing the need of cryptocurrencies in the growing world. Same time there are projects that using the name of celebrities to scam people. Always we need to be careful and make investment.

Slowly but surely, well-known personalities like Christie has been educated about the real and positive use cases of Bitcoin, which is a good thing. It's all about enlightening them about this and not the ponzi schemes that are using Bitcoin as "front".

We expect that not all can be pleased by Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency on the planet. It's all about continuous education and advocacy about the positive use cases of it and identify what's legit or scam about Bitcoin.

Well,this a good news that can help bitcoin more publicity and gain more adoption. It's difficult to convince the government to accept bitcoin and crypto currency but if a lot of celebrities will engage in crypto ,then it will be a good sign that many will follow them to trust in bitcoin and other cryptocurrency.

Well most athletes and celebrities aren't seasoned investors.

Just because they have achieved some success in their respective fields, this rarely translates to the field of investment.

For example, just because somebody can run a sub 10 second 100m dash, doesn't mean they can also spot lucrative investment opportunities better than other people.

I'd personally avoid looking at what any of these celebrities or influencers tell you about any project—odds are they were paid or convinced to shill it.

Your arguments are spot on, most of the celebrities are not seasoned investors and if you look at the past athletes they made millions of dollars during their playing career but then end up busting everything but now a days some of the athletes understand that they will not be having an extended period of time to make money and majority are reinvesting in other sectors and so is the reason we hear many athletes talking about bitcoin and other investments.

Celebrities and famous people are really a huge part on helping us promote the use of bitcoin globally. We all know that if someone is popular, he can easily influence other people who supports his career. But I don't think that bitcoin does have any movement in its price right now, because it is clearly obvious that the market is silent.


Probably, this can possibly happen.

Did you hear about those high profile twitter accounts that was hacked and baited other people that they will double their bitcoin?

There are a lot of scamming and hacking activities that are happening in those social media platforms that we are using, most commonly in Twitter. We should be aware about these scenarios.

This is how popular binance now,they attracting celebrities  to invest  in crypto in positive ways.
though  this  Olympian is  not that big name to lure investors yet  Binance is  struggling just  to help the market.
wondering who's the next to enter investing in binance name?

Since last year i have been using Binance and supporting them,after they showed up in many calamities that happen recently,their action is really undeniably great so Yeah Hoping for more success.

This would be another great or famous personality promoting Bitcoin or crypto it is a good for the industry.
First the TikTok video promoting DogeCoin and now a Gold Medalist posting about Bitcoin should we expect a wave of new investors from her followers?

With this kind of news, those who known her from both personally and from
her fans side, Bitcoin will be known.



Actually this news first before TikTok, if you traced back the date of this thread,
but I can see good implication as she
have her own community who are following her from her social media site, those
people will also begin to track her investment.
Chances that there will be someone that will be influenced by her Investment.

Yes, exactly.
Scenario#1: Public figure spontaneously becomes interested in bitcoin, purchases some, and tweets about it.
Scenario#2: Binance approaches public figure and manages to secure an interview. Binance walks public figure through how to purchase bitcoin on their platform.

This is definitely #2: https://www.cryptoglobe.com/latest/2020/05/this-2x-fifa-womens-world-cup-champ-is-now-a-bitcoiner-thanks-to-binance/ (https://www.cryptoglobe.com/latest/2020/05/this-2x-fifa-womens-world-cup-champ-is-now-a-bitcoiner-thanks-to-binance/)


The quotes don't suggest the in-depth understanding of someone who has researched crypto. I am ambivalent really about this sort of thing. Regardless of whether it's just an advertisement for a platform, it does help to spread awareness of crypto, and it is probably an inevitable part of the move towards mainstream adoption.

Probably yes, who knows? Most of the time, fans of a famous celebrity do the same thing as what they can see their idols does. That is why businesses advertises their product or service through personalities, in order to attract more engagements. Imagine, if bill gate supported bitcoin, it will have a huge impact because he himself has a strong personality in the field of technology. And what more if elon musk, the former CEO of Paypal supports crypto, with his field associated with finance and transactions, I'm pretty sure the demands will increase.

Sadly, with bitcoin, there's no one to be responsible to fund the ads.

That hashtag EducateDontIntimidate made it perfect.
It is one hell of publicity for bitcoin.
Hoping we will be seeing more of this.

Gave me the inspiration to keep on telling my friends about it.
I once gave it up since I always thought they are not listening but it should not matter.
Keep on pushing to educate them.

We come to know only few celebrities ,but many made their investment hidden. Anyway it was a good news to the investors and it create some good feedback to bitcoin. It will surely boost the interest of bitcoin over other celebrities. And finally it surely had a positive effect on the price of bitcoin. Investors of bitcoin,just hold your savings to get profit.

More celebrities if do publicly much better for the community so that people who are the followers either come to know about bitcoin or get more educated about it and those who had not invested or not used in buy/selling something can start investing and using it. This will help to increase the demand. Also good for investors who had already invested in the crypto.

The interest of Bitcoin users will increase if celebrities in most countries can introduce Bitcoin to people, many journalists will cover celebrities and of course there will be many questions about Blockchain technology. over time fans will start to follow their lead, and of course that can be a big influence on market price movements.

If the tweet is legit then it is good news, but certainly not a big news. Here's what I mean. It is good news because more people are investing in cryptocurrency, the more investors the bigger crypto market gets.

Now why i say it is not a big news is because there is nothing special if Christie Pearce Rampone invests in cryptocurrency. She may be a 3 time gold medalist, but she is just another investor.

Its about tine the cryptocurrency industry get past the stage of looking for cheap hype. I don't think it would be big news if she buys a share or she invests in real estate, similar this is no big news.

It give positive effect since it will give different outlook for the people who think negative about bitcoin, but we cannot tell that we can see some changes regarding on the price since I believe those scenario can create small hype only which may fade in the next following days. But if other will known personalities will come together for sure a institution adoption will came and that will be a big thing in crypto scene.

Its a good news but i agree on what you have said here that this little hype will just passed on following day and here's go the normal days in crypto but its good rather than have nothing at all.

Adoption is still on the move even if we are on amidst of pandemic situation.The market might be tanking but at least it didnt crash that hard considering on whats happening around.

Wont be surprised if more popular person would engage themselves on bitcoin investment.

It's not impossible to a gold medalist like her will buy bitcoin,maybe she amaze how can bitcoin use as payment or something. Theres a lot of big names have interest about bitcoin and we will not shock for next generation some of them will promote it. But of course need of guidance that entering to crypto is not easy and risky.

This is a good opportunity again to the bitcoin because a very well known person bought this coin to make an investment and by that many people right away getting curious what is bitcoin, why they make an investment on that platform and what is the reason why many people are starting to put money on this coin, and more.

Right now there is a lot of news again with the bitcoin because it reaches another 11k market dollar mark and it becomes trending again.


It's too difficult if you do not have any knowledge about bitcoin and wallets support this coin but if they really want to make an investment on it they need to learn and make a risk for their first try.

For a famous personality that engaged in cryptocurrency will be a better way for mass adoption although many known personality are already in crypto world. Also ,that celebrity open her door for crypto and i think she knows that there is a good profit in investing in crypto. Like now that the bitcoins value surge high. Maybe she gains a lot now and she is lucky.
