Gold Medalist Bought Bitcoin

[Sanugarid]

More like Binance is paying celebrities to "organically" promote their business, which also means they are promoting Bitcoin.

It seems so to me too, unless the US Binance CEO and Christie are not some old friends so it all turned out to be spontaneous, which is a less likely option in this case. But while this is a good advertisement for BTC, one should not believe that her followers will immediately jump into the BTC wagon (at least not most of them). Personally, I am not one of those who listen to the advice of celebrities, because in most cases they promote what they are paid for.

We know how competitive the binance is they even acquire the most trusted crypto data provider, Coinmarketcap, so there may be a reason why Christie is doing it. Anyways this is great advertisement for bitcoin, but I'm thinking if bitcoin falls down people would be like " I told you not to...... blah" If this is true, how much do you think did binance pay for this action?

This could have been a better news if no one is involve, just by her that he discovered the bitcoin and invested into it.

I really hope that such celebrities also get convinced to buy a hardware wallet, else the news may turn bad sooner or later.

I doubt in that, it is in the interest of exchanges to keep as many crypto funds under their control, and if there is truth in the data that can be found on the internet, millions of BTCs are right there - under the control of a very small number of people. Good for their business, bad for those who think Mt.Gox can never happen again.

yeah as an exchange, huge exchange like binance,  promoting hardware wallet is like a suicide business that is a counterpart of an exchange as they regulate crypto.

Advertisement from Binance or not, did the tweet attract some of her fans to BTC or not? It did, and that's what matters. We've seen a lot of celebrities and known personalities get into BTC or somehow advertise it (paid or not) in the recent years, and that speaks words.

I think advertising BTC is a risky thing itself anyway, a risk you have to assume - you don't want hoards of fans come in and insult your family every tweet for making them lose money, which makes me think she might've done some research herself beforehand.

It's becoming trendy, perhaps

As long as new investors can handle the wild price swings and avoid low ranked exchanges and all the dodgy scams around the place they should enjoy being a part of this evolution

It feels good to own a bit of digital gold to HODL for that one day when it eventually pays off (or implodes to zero)

Don't invest more than you can afford to lose and be prepared to lose up to 90% of your investment if you unfortunately invested during a major pump

Buy when the technical indicators show oversold conditions only, and if you're buying Bitcoin for the long term anywhere under $10,000 is a decent entry point now just wait for the dips

I took some time and read the comments below the tweet, and it’s mostly about congratulatory messages - Welcome to the team&Welcome aboard - and many of tweets are with hashtag of BA, which convinces me even more that it is a paid advertisement. Out of almost 310k followers, the question is how many of them will see the message at all, and how many of them will understand what it is all about.

The whole thing is actually focused on the US market, maybe Binance wants to take his share of all those huge stimulus checks that Americans are getting these days

Agree this is a great advertisement of Binance but I don't think it was intentionally maybe it is just a simple tweet from Christie Pearce Rampone updating her followers than he already had the go signal on bitcoin.

Still, great news since she is advertising bitcoin the more investor of bitcoin the higher the market price could pump especially with this tweeter posts.

[hatshepsut93]

Anyhow, as much as I dislike both shilling and binance, maybe something good will come out of this. After all, it's better than nothing!

I can also see how something bad can come out of this - laymen rushing to buy BTC without doing their research, and ending up getting rekt by many of the common pitfalls in this field - leaving coins on exchange and getting hacked, downloading fake wallet, losing their seed, etc. I'd prefer if at this stage people learned about Bitcoin from good sources that guided them through all the dangers.

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

With a huge number of followers, that was good publicity on bitcoin and for the exchange, Binance America, although not really surprising for me as I saw it as normal for a famous personality to get involved in cryptocurrency.

Who knows, she can attract more personality with her action of involving crypto in her financial plans.

I like their hashtag; #EducateDontIntimidate 

Yeah there are so many celebrities that are also investing in bitcoin and it is great because a lot of people might become interested too because of his tweet.

I think Binance is a good exchange to invest to. The market price is still lower than 10k$ so it is a great opportunity for long term investment maybe she doesn't have a lot of knowledge in bitcoin or investment so investing at this moment is already a good move at the same time she is promoting bitcoin because a lot of people is going to see her tweet.

More like Binance is paying celebrities to "organically" promote their business, which also means they are promoting Bitcoin. Imo it's not such a great thing, people shouldn't be getting their cryptocurrency opinions from Olympic athletes and other celebrities, they have zero qualifications on the subject and can be shilling for altcoins just as easily.

Possible, it's a win-win situation for Binance, we have seen this kind of stunt being pulled in 2017 wherein a lot of projects are paying high profile celebrities like Floyd to promote their project. So most likely, Binance, follow this blue print in order to capture audiences, specially followers Christie Pearce Rampone. But still this is a good publicity stunt for BTC.

Thats what im thinking where this is just part of marketing stunt in side of Binance since they do know that it can give out significant exposure if they do really target out famous people which will give out publicity of their platform and we dont even know if that whole bitcoin was purchased is totally free or
given on said Gold medalist and just made up some positive words towards it and at the same time it do mentioned about Binance platform.
I do say that this is some sort of casual marketing strategies and this isnt really surprising at all.They're clever when it comes to this one and
that what makes them to the top on where they do really know on what theyre doing.

I don't think it will have that much influence..
An influencer is good when it comes to simple things, buy that cream, tweet that, watch that movie, that girl is hot.
When it comes to anything more difficult than throwing a pizza in an oven 99% of them quit, they give a like or a thumb up but will never take the advice.

And this is financial advice, we will have to cut a lot of their fans who are following her for different reasons, a lot with no financial means to invest and out of the few that remains most of them will do a bit of research. So I will think that the negative effects and unwanted situations will be negligible.

Yeah, I would prefer the same as you but there is one thing, the ones that wanted to and are able to deal with those problems have mostly already heard and bought, the ones not convinced already are the guys either too lazy or that are have no trust in the coin at all. Once mass adoption finally happens to prepare for a wave of situations like that, it's just like with the aviation industry, planes are quite safe, till you let everyone fly one .....

[Becky666]

That's a good publicity for Bitcoin at large, although what I saw in regard to the harshtag# is more like Binance know more about this tweet from her, maybe another means to get the public notice around the world and they have gotten that based on this tweet. This could spur the adoption of Bitcoin to some extent even though within some environ(among the elites). That was a good move from her to get into the world of Bitcoin (cryptocurrency).

[joinfree]

That's quite interesting to know. At least now i know of this lady and Akon as some of the celebrities that are interested in cryptocurrencies. Let's hope this would be a way to turn the global music industry into accepting digital forms of payments for their activities.

In hindsight it is true that these athletes and celebrities does not qualify on the subject and there is no way they can explain anything to others about bitcoin but they have millions of fan following and if they spread the word on social media people will look at what is that they are talking about and it can influence people who have not heard or never bothered to learn about bitcoin.

[yazher]

If only those celebrities who already bought BTC have some confidence to go public as she does, there will be a slight spike on the price at the market depends how popular the celebrities are. that's a free promotion especially when they just tweet or post it on social media, the impact would be huge. But they need only to promote Bitcoin like she does because when they promote other coins they bought, I think there would be trouble especially when they promote coins like XRP or any other copy cat of BTC out there.

[Sadlife]

Many popular individual are joining - JP Morgan, JK Howling and even stock market investors have joined the fray as the financial market plunges and prints infinite value of paper money this goes to show how Bitcoin has been considered as safe haven asset and some people already lose confidence in our monetary system while the mainstream media is staying silent about it.

[Debonaire217]

When she said that she bought her first piece of bitcoin, was she pertaining to 1 BTC?

It's a great thing to know that more people are engaging into cryptocurrency nowadays, but I just want the other people to know that if we are going to invest in bitcoin, it isn't necessary to buy exactly 1 or above 1 BTC. You can consider yourself bitcoin investor even if you just obtain small portion of it. That's how we should value bitcoin.

Anyway, the popularity of bitcoin to celebrities could potentially attract their fans, and might lead to greater market adoption.

[salamat700]

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

We already have some celebrities and famous personalities who did invest with Bitcoin and we actually need more influencing figures because they can helping the cause in the spread and adoption of the cryptocurrency movement. I am sure that Christie Pearce Rampone can be contributing towards making Bitcoin more credible, interesting and attractive in the eyes of many especially with her own circle. yes, she may not be that major factor but anything that helps counts a lot...

[MCobian]

This news made me speechless, to be honest I am a fan of Christie Pearce Rampone. Now my idol decided to buy bitcoin, of course
I am very happy to hear that. I'm sure the popularity of Christie Pearce Rampone can promote bitcoin, at least Christie Pearce Rampone's
follower will follow in the footsteps of his idol by buying bitcoin. Such as Binance American will focus on promoting cryptocurrency through
famous people. I hope more and more famous people adopt bitcoin.

[rodskee]

Christie Pearce Rampone a three-time Olympic gold medalist invested in bitcoin. She told her fans that she had a conversion with the CEO of Binance America, Catherine Coley.

She was convinced to buy some BTCBTC for the first time.

looks like She is really an sports asset of America and obviously the world.

And this is all what we need now to invest in crypto because they will lure many investors specially their supporters
that will believe and here every decisions.

we have seen Many Celebrities entering crypto investments and this is very pleasing in our part being early adopter
 than them.

at least now this is another start of new adoption,from sports legends that has good reputation and for sure will
 bring good investors inside.

Soccer is not the most popular sport in the USA, especially women soccer. Most Americans are primarily crazy about American football, basketball, baseball, or ice hockey. Christie has definitely become known for her achievements in international sporting events, but if we’re being honest, she’s far from some planet-famous sports star. I’m sure not even most Americans have ever heard of it, let alone the rest of the world. I’m sure not even most Americans have ever heard of it, let alone the rest of the world.

[bitbunnny]

I'll just say what I've said many times so far.
I don't think that news about celebrities and other public persons connected with Bitcoin are actually relevant for Bitcoin community.
Their goal is primarily their own promotion and publicist, not promotion or support to Bitcoin so the impact of such news isn't that big and important, it's just that it's given much bigger media space than they actually deserve.
