Gold Medalist Bought Bitcoin

[uneng]

To introduce celebrities into crypto universe is a smart movement from many crypto exchanges and other related businesses, as they work promoting not only crypto currencies, but also crypto businesses. Although I can't assure this athlete is being paid to promote bitcoin in this case, I see no problem on this.
The range of this kind of advertisement is too long: celebrities can reach not only their fans and followers, but also at media vehicles in general. The only issue is when celebrities start promoting ponzi schemes or the called shit coins, but that is not the case here.

This is a good exposure for cryptocurrency specifically to bitcoin. This could bring little by little a good market for bitcoin and could add volatility in the future since btc had becoming expensive now and that it stabilize a bit.

However, good news like this had also been contradicted by the scammers issue using bitcoin to scam others. Hope to see their activities to stop or minimize to so that many will going to trust bitcoin. These scammers around is not really good for bitcoin or cryptocurrency.

I don't think she was only paid for doing such publicity because it would be ineffective in the first place. Imagine, why would I pay someone who is not so popular and not so influential person unlike Hollywood celebrities/famous athletes to advertise bitcoin (even let's say the Binance as well) ? So for me, it was a true and genuine adoption. What a good news after all, it brings positive vibe for all of us.

Yes, it is a true adoption. More celebrities are using cryptocurrency for investment, but very few are known to the outer world. Some even tried creating their own cryptocurrency. One such is the coin from Akon, he recently spoke to the radio briefing the need of cryptocurrencies in the growing world. Same time there are projects that using the name of celebrities to scam people. Always we need to be careful and make investment.

It looks like a lot of celebrities are getting interested in investing or buying some bitcoin.

Slowly but surely, well-known personalities like Christie has been educated about the real and positive use cases of Bitcoin, which is a good thing. It's all about enlightening them about this and not the ponzi schemes that are using Bitcoin as "front".

We expect that not all can be pleased by Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency on the planet. It's all about continuous education and advocacy about the positive use cases of it and identify what's legit or scam about Bitcoin.

Well,this a good news that can help bitcoin more publicity and gain more adoption. It's difficult to convince the government to accept bitcoin and crypto currency but if a lot of celebrities will engage in crypto ,then it will be a good sign that many will follow them to trust in bitcoin and other cryptocurrency.

Well most athletes and celebrities aren't seasoned investors.

Just because they have achieved some success in their respective fields, this rarely translates to the field of investment.

For example, just because somebody can run a sub 10 second 100m dash, doesn't mean they can also spot lucrative investment opportunities better than other people.

I'd personally avoid looking at what any of these celebrities or influencers tell you about any project—odds are they were paid or convinced to shill it.

Your arguments are spot on, most of the celebrities are not seasoned investors and if you look at the past athletes they made millions of dollars during their playing career but then end up busting everything but now a days some of the athletes understand that they will not be having an extended period of time to make money and majority are reinvesting in other sectors and so is the reason we hear many athletes talking about bitcoin and other investments.

Celebrities and famous people are really a huge part on helping us promote the use of bitcoin globally. We all know that if someone is popular, he can easily influence other people who supports his career. But I don't think that bitcoin does have any movement in its price right now, because it is clearly obvious that the market is silent.

However, good news like this had also been contradicted by the scammers issue using bitcoin to scam others. Hope to see their activities to stop or minimize to so that many will going to trust bitcoin. These scammers around is not really good for bitcoin or cryptocurrency.

Probably, this can possibly happen.

Did you hear about those high profile twitter accounts that was hacked and baited other people that they will double their bitcoin?

There are a lot of scamming and hacking activities that are happening in those social media platforms that we are using, most commonly in Twitter. We should be aware about these scenarios.

This would be another great or famous personality promoting Bitcoin or crypto it is a good for the industry.
First the TikTok video promoting DogeCoin and now a Gold Medalist posting about Bitcoin should we expect a wave of new investors from her followers?

With this kind of news, those who known her from both personally and from
her fans side, Bitcoin will be known.

First the TikTok video promoting DogeCoin and now a Gold Medalist posting about Bitcoin should we expect a wave of new investors from her followers?

Actually this news first before TikTok, if you traced back the date of this thread,
but I can see good implication as she
have her own community who are following her from her social media site, those
people will also begin to track her investment.
Chances that there will be someone that will be influenced by her Investment.

More like Binance is paying celebrities to "organically" promote their business

Yes, exactly.
Scenario#1: Public figure spontaneously becomes interested in bitcoin, purchases some, and tweets about it.
Scenario#2: Binance approaches public figure and manages to secure an interview. Binance walks public figure through how to purchase bitcoin on their platform.

This is definitely #2: https://www.cryptoglobe.com/latest/2020/05/this-2x-fifa-womens-world-cup-champ-is-now-a-bitcoiner-thanks-to-binance/

"I'm excited. You know, I think as an athlete, you're always in this growth mindset. You're learning and you're trying to educate yourself.
And so I feel right now about this with the new technology and the new advancements and being able to go online and be in control of your own investments. I'm excited.
So I do feel like I'm safe. I'm in good hands. It's secure. And it's a growth process. And just like sports now, it's a process.
And I'm excited to go from rookie to hopefully better one day."

The quotes don't suggest the in-depth understanding of someone who has researched crypto. I am ambivalent really about this sort of thing. Regardless of whether it's just an advertisement for a platform, it does help to spread awareness of crypto, and it is probably an inevitable part of the move towards mainstream adoption.

Probably yes, who knows? Most of the time, fans of a famous celebrity do the same thing as what they can see their idols does. That is why businesses advertises their product or service through personalities, in order to attract more engagements. Imagine, if bill gate supported bitcoin, it will have a huge impact because he himself has a strong personality in the field of technology. And what more if elon musk, the former CEO of Paypal supports crypto, with his field associated with finance and transactions, I'm pretty sure the demands will increase.

Sadly, with bitcoin, there's no one to be responsible to fund the ads.

That hashtag EducateDontIntimidate made it perfect.
It is one hell of publicity for bitcoin.
Hoping we will be seeing more of this.

Gave me the inspiration to keep on telling my friends about it.
I once gave it up since I always thought they are not listening but it should not matter.
Keep on pushing to educate them.

It will surely boost the interest of bitcoin over other celebrities. And finally it surely had a positive effect on the price of bitcoin. Investors of bitcoin,just hold your savings to get profit.

More celebrities if do publicly much better for the community so that people who are the followers either come to know about bitcoin or get more educated about it and those who had not invested or not used in buy/selling something can start investing and using it. This will help to increase the demand. Also good for investors who had already invested in the crypto.

[radjie]

That's a good news! Being introduced by a gold medalist is a great way to promote and convince the majority to gain interest and to learn the importance of bitcoin.

Celebrities do play a vital role because they have a huge fan base with them. We require it on a big scale and in different countries for people to promote it so that the adoption rate increase and it will lead to increase in demand of the coin and then the price may also start to rise again.

The interest of Bitcoin users will increase if celebrities in most countries can introduce Bitcoin to people, many journalists will cover celebrities and of course there will be many questions about Blockchain technology. over time fans will start to follow their lead, and of course that can be a big influence on market price movements.

If the tweet is legit then it is good news, but certainly not a big news. Here's what I mean. It is good news because more people are investing in cryptocurrency, the more investors the bigger crypto market gets.

Now why i say it is not a big news is because there is nothing special if Christie Pearce Rampone invests in cryptocurrency. She may be a 3 time gold medalist, but she is just another investor.

Its about tine the cryptocurrency industry get past the stage of looking for cheap hype. I don't think it would be big news if she buys a share or she invests in real estate, similar this is no big news.

[ultrloa]

This is a good news. Hopefully there will be some positive infact on the price of BTC due to this news. But i hope she stored it securely.

It give positive effect since it will give different outlook for the people who think negative about bitcoin, but we cannot tell that we can see some changes regarding on the price since I believe those scenario can create small hype only which may fade in the next following days. But if other will known personalities will come together for sure a institution adoption will came and that will be a big thing in crypto scene.
