Topic: [2020-05-16] JK Rowling Asks About Bitcoin - page 2. (Read 312 times)
I am glad that more and more popular people are interested in bitcoin. This increases the popularity of bitcoin in general.
We don't need JK Rowling to understand Bitcoin.
She cannot do anything in order to grow the network or to make it mainstream in economic worlds. The only think that she could do - if she really understands the meaning of Bitcoin - is to write a book about it and give a little fame to it.

It appears there is something that behaves worse than an army of farmed accounts of altcoin clickbots on Twitter. Twitter accounts with real people behind them who are uneducated bitcoin maximalists hehehe.
The learned maximalists voices are drowned by the stupid.
JK Rowling probably wasn’t expecting to unleash the bitcoin community’s pent up passion and imagination when she tweeted two sentences asking about bitcoin.
But the author of the Harry Potter series did. Responding to a tweet from CoinDesk senior reporter Leigh Cuen, Rowling tweeted: “I don’t understand bitcoin. Please explain it to me.” In just two hours her tweet had spawned 1,300 replies.
It took less than three hours for her to follow up with, “I don’t think I trust this.”
Lurking below the Twitter surface is a massive community of people who tweet about almost nothing except bitcoin and cryptocurrency day in and day out, dying to use their niche know-how for the good of the world. Rowling accidentally tapped into it.
And Rowling herself seemed unimpressed by the explanations sent to her.
“People are now explaining Bitcoin to me, and honestly, it’s blah blah blah collectibles (My Little Pony?) blah blah blah computers (got one of those) blah blah blah crypto (sounds creepy) blah blah blah understand the risk (I don’t, though),” Rowling tweeted.
