The comparison has been made in the past - I'm personally not a big fan of it. It's nice to think of it as something as big (I certainly don't mind a price rise) but I have my doubts that it will eventuate and change the course of humanity and human lifestyle to the same extent that the internet has.
Ashton kutscher sucks. Only good movie he ever played in was "Butterfly Effect".
I wouldn't care much about it. But that said, he has played a number of good roles, and The Butterfly Effect wasn't the only one. Films such as A Lot like Love, The Guardian and Just Married comes to mind.

Hopefully it will catch more celebrities. That would really drive the price up!
Most people think that Ashton Kutcher is a dumbass because of his good looks and the fact that he plays a dumbass on TV... most people forget that he has a biochemical engineering degree and a VC investor in several successful startups including Skype and Spotify...
I think haters here are just jealous that he's young, good looking, and actually smart.

Ashton has done more for bitcoin times 1000 than any of the haters on here. If bitcoin got 10 more Ashton's we might all be so lucky.
who cares what ashton kutcher thinks lol
I don't care much about him... but remember the fact that more than 16,000,000 people follow him on the twitter. That is massive publicity for the Bitcoin, and the best part is that all of it is free!

I think he was one of the major investors in bitpay. Regardless of what a lot of us here think of him, a lot of people hear when he talks, so it is still good to help mainstream adoption, which is our ultimate goal right?
I am no fan of Ashton Kutcher. But due to him, Bitcoin is gaining a lot of publicity. And I am not just talking about his 16 million plus twitter followers, check this one as well:

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.
He is smart allright
Just that his access to premium deals is primarily driven by smart use of his celebrity rather than his smarts per se

When come to bitcoin Kuchter has struck me as intelligent and realistic when he speaks.
Kutcher is apparently smarter than I am.

He is reasonably smart but his mass following is his main leverage to get into deals
Not as smart as some of his VC co-investors, but smart enough to make his brand talk

"Bitcoin...sort of like internet in the 80s."
If there was no real www/internet in the 80's, does that mean there is no real digital currency yet?
EDIT:
I think that's the point he's making. I was using the internet (not to be confused with the WWW) back in the 80s. People who used the internet back then were early adopters, and nothing was very easy, just like bitcoin now.
"There is no consensus on the exact date when the modern Internet came into being, but sometime in the early to mid-1980s is considered reasonable. "
I just saw your post, and I agree regarding us being early adopters.

internet in the 80's?? WTF is this assclown smoking?!? in the 80's there was no commercially available internet until the early 90's. ...

How would you define the advent of the "modern" Internet? I would say 1993, or whenever the world wide web was first developed, since that's what the laymen associates as "The Internet".

you do realise that ashton is not criticizing right??
he is a angel investor in a few bitcoin projects.
the actual interpretation he is saying is "bitcoin is new and will grow to cover the planet and nearly everyone will use it"
but what i do find funny is that after doing the steve 'jobs' origins movie, his research about 1980's tech seems to be limited

Maybe he's very bullish in his reasoning. I think he was being very positive about bitcoin.
Fuck yeah! We have Ashton Kutcher on board now!
who cares what ashton kutcher thinks lol
Lots of dull minded celebrity-following Americans.
they are good advocates for the masses.
Yes, sir. Whatever it takes to get alt currency noticed.

Exactly. Good publicity for bitcoin and it's to the masses of the general public. Lets not complain
Need to get pro athletes on the bitcoin train. They got money and are always looking to invest in cool endeavours.
Hell yeah, I read an article on coindesk about some celebrities supporting/investing in Bitcoin. We are (slowly) moving to the mass
.
