Lovely. Now we will get a whole bundle of inexperienced people into the crypto world, who join before doing any research because a reality star talked about it, only to start panic selling as soon as the market dips (next up, Kylie Jenner accepting BTC to purchase her cosmetics).

My thought exactly. The industry has been infested with get rich quick noobs and we definitely don't need more of them. I rather see them flow into altcoins and put their money to waste there. Bitcoin seems to be less attractive for noobs and I actually like it. Most of the people investing in Bitcoin do it for the long term or they use it as store of value. The rest has left to altcoins hoping for better returns. I remember how people here were excited to see celebrities promote Bitcoin, while now rightfully don't like to see it happen. Bitcoin is not a statement of luxury and shouldn't ever become that.

I can't see this picture on Kim Kardashian stories. Maybe she posted on my day stories? However, if this news is true then it is not good for us at all. Because By seeing her, many fans of her will come into the crypto platform. Who even don't know what is cryptocurrency. Nowadays, people are coming in the crypto platform to earn money. Do you think it is good for us? No, Rather when bitcoin price goes down, they will start a panic, Fudd! Cryptocurrency is not only for making money!

this is an amazing opportunity to be promoted by a celebrity . I wish more celebrities like kim will jump into bitcoin because their popularity will help bitcoin to attract more investors with this it will add volume on the exchangers which is a big help for the cryptocurrency because everytime bitcoin pumps all altcoin will follow to . So i wish more individuals will come and invest in bitcoin

I wouldn't go to this extreme, as I don't think her supporters are even knowledgeable enough to be able to buy into bitcoin HAHA!!!! I'm expecting to see her to use this as a chance to sell some bitcoin memorabilia or even do some coinbase referrals where she can make some easy money with her followerbase. She's a sellout, so I won't be surprised if I see an ICO ad come up....

I see it, Maybe she was in a promotion program for a casino. I don't think her picture is positive because many of her fans which have no knowledge about cryptocurrency may get involved in crypto in a dangerous way after seeing her pic.

this is not a promotion though. people just see it and move on because it is a meaningless gesture in my opinion and people who follow Kim Kardashian instagram aren't doing it to see what she promotes to jump on board of bitcoin now. they follow it to see The Big Bootay ™

Agreed. I would guess that the Venn diagram of "Kim Kardashian's Instagram Followers" and "People likely to be interested in Bitcoin" does not have a huge intersection.

Eeeeh I don't know if Kim Kardashian is the best person to get publicity for bitcoin.. but whatever. Her instagram story about bitcoin being potentially by a good percentage of her overall total of 114m followers? I'll take it!

Do you even know what you're taking about? The only way bitcoin will rise in value in the first place is by new money coming in. If no fresh money comes in then the price will stagnate and won't rise at all, but even if these Kardashian crypto newbies did sell their coins then it's money that wouldn't have even been there in the first place without her promotion. You should be lucky for any sort of promo from celebrities, but Kim Kardashian posting a ten second video on an instagram story that will be gone within 24 hours isn't exactly noteworthy and the people who will actually invest from that would almost certainly be very minimal if any at all. Most of her fans will be completely oblivious to bitcoin even after her posting that, but maybe it will pique the interest of some and anyone using bitcoin at all is good for bitcoin in my opinion.

Anyone using bitcoin at all is good for bitcoin in my opinion Yes. If we want global adoption, then Bitcoin needs to be accessible to everyone. That includes the inexperienced, panic sellers, and the non-tech-savvy.

You're completely right in my opinion, we should treat Bitcoin as something only the tech-savvy can make use of. It needs to be accessible for everyone, even Kim Kardashian... I do think it's pretty noteworthy, she has millions of followers who track her every move, even a small mention like this will not go unnoticed.

Although I do not expect anyone to notice it, its effect will be adverse for everyone who sees this story. If I did not know about bitcoin and saw this story, I would link between Bitcoin and Gambling because she seemed to promote a new way of playing poker " using bitcoin." Also, she used Bitcoin as playing cards, and this is incompatible with the digital nature of this process. BTW, Have you noticed the ads for make-up in the front? If you do not see, no one will notice Bitcoin.

Promoting and advertising is always good for a product or community. Actually i don't like Kim Kardashian but promoting Bitcoin on instagram with high follower is very good for us. Thank you Kim anyway, hope you can earn with bitcoin too..

Why is that a bad or a negative thing? Gambling is one industry where bitcoin has the potential to be huge and is actually another way bitcoin can be used to avoid unnecessary state censorship, not to mention there are already lots of bitcoin gamling sites and without them bitcoin might not be where it is today. I'm sure you've even advertised for a bitcoin gambling site in some way or another before as well.
