Title: Celebrities and Crypto-Currency investments
Post by: Artkuz on March 07, 2018, 08:48:11 AM
In this topic I want to talk about the famous people who actively invest in the crypto currency, mostly citizens of Western countries.
 :)Let's start with people who have a significant financial base :

1.Richard Branson - this English tycoon created the corporation Virgin Group,A wealthy Englishman invested $ 30 million in the BitPay system, created more than 70 jobs for people.
2.Bill Gates - in 1975, Gates, in close collaboration with Paul Allen, created Microsoft. The level of confidence of Bill Gates to the crypto currency is evidenced by the fact that you can pay for the software from Microsoft with the help of bitcoins.
3.he Draper - is an American venture investor, it was he who in 1985 created his company Draper Fisher Jurvetson. It is known that Tim Draper purchased about 30 thousand bitcoins at the auction in the US, his investments at that time amounted to 19 million dollars.

I also want to introduce people from all over sports, cinema, pop industry, as well as science:

1.Ashton Kutcher - this famous Hollywood actor made an investment in BitPay;
2.Lily Allen - world-famous singer;
3.Mike Tyson - made investments in his own network of bitcoin-ATMs;
4.Donald Glover - actor and frame.

Famous companies that actively participate in the support of crypto currency:

1.Goldman Sachs Bank - invested about $ 50 million;
2.Barclays is the first largest bank that started accepting charity from companies and individuals in bitcoins;
3.Visa - this company said that bitcoin has a good future;
4.MasterCard - this payment system deals with investments in a variety of start-ups, including bitcoin;

Summarizing, we see how the crypto currency seamlessly captures all corners of our planet, past those that I have listed there is still a huge number of celebrities actively investing in crypto.

I think 50 cents also owns Bitcoins. Also I dont remeber his name but a singer once accepted bitcoins for his concert tickets and he got about $400k purchases. He didn't cash it and currently his earnings from that are in the millions.

There are some interesting thing in there for sure. The investors are the only ones of any interest to me , when a celeb is just promoting you know it is just for the money. I am always careful with what they are saying because you never know if they have some hidden agenda.

He said he "forgot" about accepting bitcoins for an album and it was now worth $8M. Given that he just did bankruptcy, the government came after him and suddenly he is saying those were sold immediately! He doesn't have any. He just didn't correct because the press was positive... smh.

She turned it down saying as if!
If only she knew back then, as DEL BOY says he who dares WINS
