Topic: 2013-05-01 CNBC: Ashton Kutcher Bites Into Bitcoin Revolution (Read 1524 times)
Think he'll ever punk Satoshi?
Ashton is highly regarded by the Hollywood community for his financial expertise.
Saw him on TV the other night interviewed for his investments. Had nothing to do with bitcoin.
Now that he's talking about bitcoin...
Not to mention that Hollywood is liberal.

Are there any videos of Kutcher on bitcoin from 2011 or 2012? Wonder if his tune has changed. I imagine he would have learned about it related to Dwolla's startup.
"A massive asshole watching farm" - haha

It seems he read Mike Hearn's decentralized blacklists idea.
Makes you wonder if and how many famous people use this forum. 
Ashton is that you?

In the meantime, idiots are selling off while people like Ashton are buying.
Makes sense.

Another radical anti-government privacy extremist.
Perhaps radical anti-government privacy extremist is the new normal.

Satoshi, he clearly isn't.
But I'll take the publicity as a way of making inroads into our Hollywood-fixated society.

I'm not sure if I agree with the likelihood of the observation, but this is an interesting approach:

Because of cyberthreats, governments are trying to regulate the Internet in a way that does not keep users anonymous. By using the same technology as bitcoin, people could anonymously monitor each other on the Internet for criminal behavior and this civic participation would help eliminate government intrusion, Kutcher said.
They should just get it over with and rename it the TechCrunch Bitcoin convention.

Ashton Kutcher Bites Into 'Bitcoin Revolution'

The "bitcoin revolution" is here, and it offers an investing opportunity, Ashton Kutcher tells the TechCrunch Disrupt conference Wednesday.
"I think bitcoins are obviously becoming more and more relevant," said the actor, who is also founder of the A-Grade venture firm.
"The fact that people are hacking bitcoins really hard, it almost hearkens back to when banks first started and they didn't have safe safes and people were going into the banks and just robbing money out of the safe. It actually validates the value of the money itself," he said. "I think the fact that you can buy drugs and ammo with it is actually (a) validator of the currency itself."
