"Ok so I'll go open up an account and see if these codes will translate into real bitcoin and then figure out what to do with them."

Will Mr. Spock be next?

I'm sure if he posted his address he'd get a lot of donations.

William Shatner is so strange. Everyone on the original series hated him.

Quote
How do I stay so healthy and boyishly handsome? It's simple. I drink the blood of young runaways. ~WILLIAM SHATNER

There's been a great deal of enmity between George [Takei] and me. He's been saying mean things about me for nearly forty years now. That's nearly Star Trek (Two) Generations!... To be fair, George is not the only veteran of the USS Enterprise who has hard feelings. Walter Koenig has been vocal about his disdain for me. James Doohan was not a fan, and Nichelle Nichols told me -- while I was interviewing her for my book Star Trek Memories -- that she detested me. Set phasers to Awkward! ~WILLIAM SHATNER

if this is the real William Shatner ? then you need to look at sifi coins federation credits , gold pressed latinum , and the darsek great Klingon coin .

I saw that. Although Shatner can be a little silly.

I suspect that I can just add him to the list of celebrity mentions of Bitcoin and wait to see if he ends up doing anything interesting with the community.

Yeah, Wil is a tech guy. He's friends with George Takei too so maybe Sulu can get on board. Takei has a large following on Facebook.

I have. He is possibly the worst entertainer of all time and only gained any fame at all as a fluke. He is a creation of Gene Roddenberry. I think anyone that played the role of Kirk would have had the same fate.

He also has a personality that would make me kind of afraid to be alone in a room with him. I can see him trying to molest my dead body after boring me to death.

Another celebrity is becoming bitcoin-aware. Adam Carolla had a caller in to his show that paid him with bitcoin as mentioned in this thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=407745.0

Having the celebrities getting involved only creates more awareness which, in turn, gets more people to invest. This all drives the price up. After all, they're not making any more bitcoin.

I agree, but I have no idea who Adam Corolla is. It's nice to see celebrities with hundreds of thousands if not millions of followsers tweeting about Bitcoin though. It's massive publicity.

Very good. I chose an old show so it it would be tough. My favorite line from that show was when someone was talking about the 90 year old Mr. Grace, "no, that's young Mr. Grace. Old Mr. Grace doesn't get around much anymore". Then the old man is seen looking up a young girls skirt. lol

I wouldn't call Rowan Atkinson or David "slim-sliced packet of ham-face" Cameron 'minor celebrities'. I'd call Dean Gaffney and the cast of The Only Way is Essex as minor celebrities.
