The GOAT Tom Brady changing his twitter profile pic to Laser Eye. For those who are not familiar, there is such movement with #LaserEyes meme in twitter which aim is to push bitcoin to $100k.

Do you guys think that he has invested on bitcoin already? Or just joining the bandwagon now?

Will this bring Brady's fan to support BTC as well?

I would assume that Brady has invested on bitcoin way back, this kind of high level athletes hires financial advisors and fund managers to manage their wealth. So maybe one of his financial advisors could have told him and assists Tom in acquiring bitcoin or any other crypto currencies.

This athletes has so much money that they really need to have a diversified portfolio. And since bitcoin is one of the best or not the best right now (with big risk), he might have been playing in the market already.

Edit: Another high profile athlete Giannis Antetokounmpo when asked what he do for a living, his answer: Bitcoin.

I'm not sure, and I don't want to be a total party pooper, but I'm pretty sure dude's just needing the publicity from the cryptocurrency space in general because, well.. wait for it..

..he's launching an NFT platform. https://edition.cnn.com/2021/04/06/tech/tom-brady-nft-autograph/index.html

Brady has probably owned some BTC. Otherwise, why would he even join the laser eyes on Twitter? The rumors must have some truth in them.

Brady may be a newcomer but he's developing quite fast. News has it that "he will be launching an NFT platform, Autograph, which will allow celebrities to create and list digital collectibles."^[1]

I guess he's already dove deep in cryptocurrency. But he's not alone in his field. The Carolina Panthers', Russell Okung, has also made public his support and investment in Bitcoin. Also, NFL's New York Giants has made a cryptocurrency partnership with Grayscale Investments.

Good for him. Having BTC today seems very nessesary.
Celebrities learned that NFTs are profitable, the news about NFTs being sold more than $500K. And the more popular a celebrity, the higher the price must be.
There are singers starting to put their music as NFTs. The movie and music industry suffers a lot because of piracy but blockchain is about to save their industry.

2017 is being repeated (to some extent) with a new scam called INCFOT. They just changed the name and some details about the token they create but the concept is still the same, create a useless token, link it to something semi interesting to get people to buy that garbage, make a huge profit!
People aren't blind, they see this scam and they want in if they can. Doesn't matter if they are celebrities or regular people. If they can make millions out of thin air they would jump at the opportunity. Talk about tulip mania!

It appears that he's doing some NFT thing. NFTs are a scam and I don't think they will be around for very long, at least in the form we are seeing them today. If you want to sell sports memorabilia there is no reason why you need to create tokens to go along with this. It is just a money grab and there is no reason to believe he actually cares about things that are actually helpful to the world like censorship resistance and decentralization.

Pumps need to exist before we have dumps and dumps must exist before we have pumps.

Laser eyes can be considered as signals for both pumps and dumps. I am a BTC bull and I think $100k is very possible for it. I even believe that BTC will have higher price than $100k.

Celebs and influential people will get attention from the crowd with their tweets and the crowd will react with their tweets. Depend on how they catch the meaning of tweets and their feelings (panic, greed), they will response differently as FOMO or panic sell.

Yeah, saw the twitter hashtag #LaserEyesTill100k (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23LaserEyesTill100k&src=typed_query).

It's become a Twitter trend that if you put laser eyes upon it, it means you're promoting or pumping it until it reaches $100,000.

However, I've seen a lot of comments claiming that he's changing his dp because he's going to start an NFT business. Yet, this is (I guess) another campaign aimed at attracting more crypto investors and expanding the community so I'm glad they made this hashtag trending.

I guess Bitcoin has proven to be the next big investment option for every one irrespective of their carrier so I believe Tom Brady is definitely tell us that he is jumping into the crypto arena too whether it is direct Bitcoin Investment or whether it is NFT, crypto is where you want to be going Forward.   

When that guy posts that pic without any specific captions, he makes it harder for his fans to think what he really means by it. Obviously he has some motives regarding his post which is he will gain more money when people take his bait. Just like any other influencer, this guy has his own agenda so it's better for us not to really on such kinds of posts rather we make our own research whatever the like of him promoting.

If Tom Brady had bought Bitcoin and believes in Bitcoin,then that's great,but he never mentioned anything about Bitcoin or buying BTC in his social media profiles.
I guess that he's joining the meme and trying to get attention to some shitty NFT,that he will try to sell,which is just,meh...
I don't really believe that people like Tom Brady will push Bitcoin adoption to another level.His fans aren't interested in finance and crypto trading.

I am sure that with his stature, he will not be changing his Twitter profile in support of something if he has not already gotten involved with it. I have seen the LaserEyes profiles for the past weeks with other personalities, and it is only now that I learned of this movement to push Bitcoin to at least $100K. And I think they can get what they are wishing for soon. This kind of support from famous personalities can only mean one thing - Bitcoin is really here to stay and it is bringing us to the Moon, to Mars and beyond.

It could be that Tom Brady is just following trend but seeing he's replying a to a tweet mention that he's currently loading up some bitcoin its kind of obvious that he is holding some bitcoin but just didn't disclose to the public because he has the right to now announce it in public anyway.
But this laser eye trend to push btc to 100k really trending though, even some people that I've known for long never really touch cryptocurrency also following this trend and ofcourse having no idea that it is a crypto trend.

Brady has never publicly addressed whether he is investing in cryptocurrency, though this would be a strong indicator. He did, however, address a Twitter user suggesting, “Rumor has it @TomBrady is loading up on Bitcoin.”

The Buccaneers quarterback also recently purchased a boat worth $66 million. It seems money is flowing in the Brady-Bundchen household.

I probably wouldn't go as far as calling it a "scam". They're most probably aware that they're just paying for useless jpg's and png's. It's a lot more of a useless, overpriced cash grab than a scam. On the bright side, at the very least artists are making some money. The art is a industry is a pretty hard industry to break into and make money.

I think he is also one of the people who hold bitcoins because people who have a lot of wealth will buy bitcoins to invest in the long term. Rich people who have a lot of money will not think long about investing in bitcoin, I think '' Tom Brady '' has long kept bitcoin for its assets in the future.

^ Probably yes!
From the previous 24 hours, this was almost the news I see on my newsfeed. I could not imagine an NFL Superstar supporting BTC and actually involved and committed. This might boost the hype just in case Tom Brady decided to totally admit that he is into BTC.
It was actually because of Yano Witz’s tweet stating that Tom Brady is loading in Bitcoin and tried to make a vote to the public by retweeting his tweet.
It was then noticed by the goat then after few hours, boom. Profile pic changed and people went crazy! That was an amazing display! I was highly entertained I can tell.

Just another boat to ride on. That's what I see but whatever he's going to do, if it's not for his own exposure then there must be other reason for it. And that reason is probably the NFT that has been said by the others above and there's no need for us to guess anymore the reason about that laser eyes.  8)

Interesting, celebrities are starting to talk more about Bitcoin lately more than usual, some kind of a chain reaction has happened here a few months ago.
I've just read another thread in Bitcoin Discussion telling that Mark Zuckerberg named his GOAT "bitcoin", probably just a coincidence..
But what if not, wouldn't that be hilarious? Public figures making fun of each other out in the open like that.

I don't think that Brady is just following the trend, he could really be holding Bitcoin even before the current surge in price.

Yes, I do think this is welcoming news, there are Hollywood stars and then sports personalities riding already as see Bitcoin as a better investments. So we have a question on whether which company are going to used Bitcoin as hedge to their balance sheet. Maybe we could add which sports personalities as well will be the next.

I think that this is just a coincidence, maybe Tom Brady is going to be the next Cyclops in an upcoming X-Men movie, there are a lot of possibilities. I don't know about the NFT part but riding in that train right now isn't really good since the prices are starting to mellow out.

For sure a person likeTom Brady has already invested a huge amount of money in Bitcoin, that is really possible as a popular and influential person they have so many connections and also they have the financial advisor that will teach them about cryptocurrency and invest in bitcoin as it is the safest haven. Almost popular persons are already engaging with bitcoin, what would be the next for this, maybe in the future we could see a mass adaption for bitcoin, as a lot of companies and popular persons are already exploring the world of crypto.

I started to be happy that there are many people interested in this market, where I live there are many singer models and soccer players who have started to buy crypto, the things they buy are not btc which is doge or shiba :)
I chuckled someday they would have to call me and ask if they could buy other coins.

Supporting Bitcoin can happen from anyone not only His fans, but the thing here is that Will be that Lazereyes will take effect? or just another propaganda?

He might or not, who knows really?

For anyone who's not familiar with the twitter trend about these #Lasereyes in promoting Bitcoin to reach $100,000. Here's some examples of it https://mobile.twitter.com/hasanmevcikum/status/1382896665456226311 (https://mobile.twitter.com/hasanmevcikum/status/1382896665456226311)
I'm not sure If Tom Brady is just riding with the trend or he had showed interest in crypto for his own personal gains.
Celebrities in sports and show business industry are gradually showing interest in crypto. These people could influence their fans and followers. So, I guess it's safe to say that these celebrities have invested some of their wealths in crypto. 

We don't know what's in it in the NFT scene but yeah right, it seems that there's still a huge market on it but it's not the same as before or we're wrong with the thoughts that circling in our minds about it.
Btw, that's funny about the reference of being Cyclops.  :P

Well, anyone it is, it's still a good news that he's supporting Bitcoin. The rate at which a lot of big names are becoming part of the cryptocurrency world and investing their money in cryptocurrency shows that we are going to keep moving forward. I am not hundred percent sure about the $100,000 price if it's going to be something we will see this year or not, but even if it doesn't happen this year or next, I do know very well that for sure it is going to happen. We were able to go from $20,000 ATH of 2017 to a price that is three times of that this year.

So no doubt that even if we don't see the $100,000 this year, the one that is on the way is going to be far more above that, it's going to be something really big when it happens. With the move that Tom Brady has taken, if he's really out to support Bitcoin, then his fans for sure are going to be part of it.
