Manny Pacquiao invests in cryptocurrency firm, is set to launch PAC Coin?

[Ondongeric18]

Well I think it is a good chance at promoting celebrity status more than just how it is done on camera. I don't see it as creating FUD. It's one of a kind really. Sure celebrities can do better I think in this field of crytocurrency business. Let's wait and see if this works or not.

Senator Manny Pacquiao is venturing into cryptocurrency as an investor in blockchain firm Global Crypto Offering Exchange (GCOX).

GCOX, a Singapore start-up, claims it is the first cryptocurrency exchange of its kind as it enables celebrities to create their own cryptocurrencies, which they’ve dubbed Celebrity Tokens.

i was like omg pacman will launch his own token? i wish this is not a fud news

This is very possible if really pacman wants to create his own token because at first he has a lot of money. He is one of the richest person in the Philippines. So if he wants to create his own token he never worried about money and also he is a celebrity and senator he is popular and his popularity also can cause his project or coin to have a big investors and many investor intire the world since he is the Most popular boxer intire the world.

No thanks with the whole concept of 'celebrity tokens'. There are already enough shitcoins plaguing the crypto market and we don't need any more of them. The world needs projects with an vision to make something happen and we all know these so called celebrities are just trying to get into the act by trying to play the deception card which is never going to work.

I haven't read much about this so called "PAC" coin that Manny is trying to push but the main problem right now is if it will be used on any platform or just riding on his popularity. What we need right now are innovations and not a popularity contest.

[omitusaf]

I sincerely look at this whole issue and laugh hard. What's the use of having a personal coin? What advantage will it offer the people and society? Why doing something when its clear that it can't stand the test of time.
My opinion anyway

[cellard]

If this is not a scam this could be the greatest project ever! Surely celebrities will invest and the bounty will be a success.
I think the value will rise high because of this popularity. I will look for this if this bounty comes out.

We have seen celebrities endorsing crypto projects in the past. As a matter of fact, Floyd Mayweather has been involved in some ICO's too:

Looks like didn't go too well.

We have seen Mike Tyson being the public image for a Bitcoin ATM...

Honestly it doesn't really do much other than temporal pumps (and dumps).

[Jimbo Abu]

Notice me please. If there is a bounty campaign, I would be honored to be part of it.
Si Sen. Manny is my countryman and if it is not a scam it is a successful project just in case. So I look forward to this campaign and join me immediately.

[Paractor]

it does not matter that many celebrities plunge into the world of crypto, as long as they have a clear vision and mission in the token project, there will be many investors or people who want to join.

I agree with you there.
Just look at Floyd Money Mayweather. He has been involved in three ICOS for alt coins that we know of and looking to get into another from what I had heard.
Many other celebrities have entered into the cryptosphere so I am not too surprised when I heard pacquiao is releasing his own coin and opening an ICO.

[warrior333]

I will never invest in such projects. Trying to hide behind a celebrity's name reminds me of a Scam. In the first place should be the property of the project. The main task of the thimble is to divert the attention of the victim. The names of famous people perform this task. Think about it before you decide to give your money to the scammers.

[yohaneshs]

Until now it's just a rumors because he is a famous person and altcoin has a high trend in a recent years. But if one day he will create ico with their name, i'm not suprised.

If this is not a scam this could be the greatest project ever! Surely celebrities will invest and the bounty will be a success.

I agree with you, and I think not just celebrities but also his fellow rich politicians like him will also invest on it, so yes the value will rise if this will happen soon. And furthermore because of him cryptocurrency will be possibly recognise more by the government of the Philippines.

[Prettygirl01315]

they are picking celebrities for the coins this will affect the attention of so many investor because athletes are planning to make their own cryptocurrency coin hoping i can witness kind of project bigger people bigger audience

[YzzyGo]

I hope it gains traction as it is also a platform for the Philippines to be known around the world. It is good that one way or another bitcoin has reaching out further into the Philippines which may help it's citizens.
