Celebrities using Bitcoin today?

[keeee]

actually, in my country, some celebrities have used and used bitcoin, but that is not for daily use, but they use it as a tool for investment.
I know some artists because of some news coverage about it. I think this development will become more widespread. however, celebrities are also investors.

I agree,  infact they cant really focus or give all they time with crypto because they are busy on their work.  They really just do investment to get some profit that can add to their financial income.

There are many famous people investing in bitcoin and they have a great influence on the cryptocurrency market. However, the majority of such people talk less about bitcoin, they just silently invest and receive profits.
However, the biggest hurdle for bitcoin and the current crypto market is government regulations, we need the government to loosen the rules rather than some famous people talking about bitcoin.

They will really a create great impact in the world of crypto market, that's why we really need their help too. If you will join the social media, you will found out that there's a lot of celebrities already advertising Bitcoin and also accepting as payment to them, means they have seen its potential already.

In my country there are celebrities who announce they invested in bitcoin way back the price is high in 2017. Now they are quite about it,may they are still holding some of it.

I am not sure if the popular celebrities in my country also adopt bitcoin as their regular asset and currency for spending. However, some of them were just anonymous and discreet about as their holdings. They're more capable to do it due to stable financial assurance, and digital currency is their way of expanding good fortune from bitcoin.

not all celebrities like technology like this, I'm sure they know it's bitcoin but not all want to invest and save their money in bitcoin, they are hard to use it everyday obviously because bitcoin is more worthy of being an asset to be stored like gold, some celebrities in my country too already using bitcon even they also trade crypto on the exchange, as far as I know many celebrities out there and even sportsmen like boxer mike tyson are also familiar with crypto and others, but if bitcoin wants to be widely known it looks like it has to be promoted by famous celebrities today , I'm sure it will affect the adoption of bitcoin in the future

Do you think celebrities in the mainstream world are still using Bitcoin for their own benefit? If so, which famous people are deeply into Bitcoin right now? I'd love to see someone like Keanu Reeves, Microsoft's Satya Nadella, or even Apple's Tim Cook using (and patronizing) Bitcoin someday. At such degree, I think Bitcoin would've reached massive adoption within the mainstream world. Thoughts?

What any reason would a celebrity have in participating in cryptocurrency.  Like many of us I think they are in for profit.  Company hires advertisers and known individual to promote their services, so probably that is one reason why known personalities are surfacing now telling their audience that they are using Bitcoin or support cryptocurrency.  Though they have their profit in it, it is very good for crypto community because it will help in accelerating adoption.  Imagine if their fan follow them in using and participating in crypto market activities, that will be a good boost to the industry.

not until all the celebrity that using or investing in crypto currency specially those involving in Bitcoin comes out to the Open and admit that they are supporting Crypto then this will be the start of the new beginning guys.because until now they are hiding behind their wallets and only few is telling people about their participation in crypto and most of them are paid advertiser and not a total supporter of Bitcoin.imagine what hype can that bring if they will give their support in public?or even creating adds that focus to their part in crypto world like what AKON is doing now.

That will be a difficult things to achieve.
First of course is the government looking at their history.
Why keep it in bitcoin? If usage, then there might not be a problem but there will still be that question.
Is what he used just what he had or he is keeping more?

Remember, there will be no tax when you keep it in bitcoin. Tax evasion will be your problem plus they will keep on tracking every transaction that you will make.
I don't think want celebrity would want that.
Paparazzi's are like their shadows. Somehow they will get caught. Priorities, they will not risk their job for something like that.

I don't know if there are celebrities who using bitcoin. But I've watched an Interview on Ryan Higa's youtube, he was interviewing one of the Youtuber Michelle Phan talked about Bitcoin (here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWBEG0aQRZA ) I'm surprised that Michelle get into Bitcoin, for those who don't know Michelle is a Legendary Youtuber specialized in MakeUp and stuff having 2 M followers on Instagram and 8.92 M Subscribers on YouTube, she explained about bitcoin very well to Ryan and of course to the viewers.

A lot of famous people in my country invest in bitcoin, I don't know if they are interested in blockchian technology but obviously they feel confident in cryptocurrency and invest in it.

I'd love to see someone like Keanu Reeves, Microsoft's Satya Nadella, or even Apple's Tim Cook using (and patronizing) Bitcoin someday.

Certainly no one can manage or sponsor bitcoin, bitcoin is a decentralized currency and it operates according to the needs of the market.

sometimes there are celebrities who use bitcoin as an investment tool, but I personally have not found many celebrities who use bitcoin openly. maybe if the influencers then the names will not be familiar, but if the world celebrities might not be much known to me.

[hatshepsut93]

Usually when celebrities are known to be using something, it's because they are advertising it and they are getting paid to do so - but with Bitcoin there's no company that would do so, and I doubt that even the biggest exchanges would reach out to celebrities in the future. So, we have to hope that some celebrity is a natural fan of Bitcoin and would promote it because they believe in it.

By the way, I once watched a rather popular Hearthstone streamer, and she said that she's a cryptocurrency supporter in her bio, and she accepts donations in crypto. Dunno if it qualifies as celebrity or not.

[target]

I doubt they will reveal themselves.
That just means being questioned by IRS.

If they do then I will congratulate them for having a lot of courage facing a lot of enemies with the United States government.
Yes, it will happen.
Whoever the name would be, they will just not care. They all need to pay every penny of their tax.

Probably the reason, there are celebrities promoting altcoins though. There is a musician known as Imogen Heap to which I only knew her because a speaker in TED talked about her being involve in blockchain related to music. There is also Ashton Kutcher who promoted XRP in Ellen Show, pretty sure he was paid to do it but he did demonstrate sending XRP worth million$ to Ellen Degeneres foundation.

I think our country celebrities are not khow about this.but i think soon everyone will khow about this and will start using all cryptocurrency.

We cant have that precise list for those celebs on using up Bitcoin because its either they would make it on public or private.

Its true that adoption is still on the move but if these things been aired on national or big community since these celebs are popular
then it would open up a wider or broad audience which btc can be introduced.

American actor and comedian named Drew Carey since 2013 is known to have used bitcoin. In 2013, Drew posted his anxiety when he intended to buy his breakfast with Bitcoin, but was refused. Carey encourages the adoption of Bitcoin as a payment method, at least in the food and beverage industry.

nope that is impossible mate,famous people surely have idea about Bitcoin because for sure their friends are inviting them to study or invest on this one.so the more chances of them having idea about what is this and how it works.
the problem is will they admit it in public?specially if your country has issues about crypto?for sure they will remain silent and might consider investing in secret ways.

[marcous]

however much the person is famous and supports crypto, it is not easy for us to use Bitcoin for daily life, bearing in mind that every country has its own rules for handling crypto circulation laws. Because until now almost 11 years since it was discovered Bitcoin proved Bitcoin has not been able to replace fiat as a payment transaction in everyday life. well although not all transactions.

[mahilchii]

Yes why not? Celebrities will hold their assets until they see a massive pump in the market they won't sell it. Jonny depp, Ashton kutcher and more have invested in BTC as this will dominate and rule the world in near future. Adoption is still on flow without any doubt if celebrities start advertising then I am sure the market will turn red hot.

I do think Manny Paquaio is a celebrity mainstream since he is famous when it comes to the sport boxing. Last year, the professional boxer launched his own cryptocurrency called The Pac token, which is already listed in a Singapore based exchange, and based on this article, singer Jason Derulo is also planning to launch his own cryptocurrency.

[Asmonist]

I think its a sign that a great potential or opportunity to make our own crypto coin is possible. But of course those celebrities are just very fortunate to have adequate funds for it. Money matters at its best value. Its all about how you utilize your assets and today bitcoin is one of the options in investments.
