I think the celebs to go after are the big environmental/climate change supporters.
Yeah, because we use a shitload of electricity to mine them, very environmental friendly Tongue

And a pet dog has a bigger carbon footprint than a 4x4!

For celebrities, image is everything, leave the facts at home! Wink

Celebrities endorsing bitcoin would make it look as stupid as the celebrity endorser... just my opinion.

Milton Friedman was in favor even before Bitcoin existed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2mdYX1nF_Y

"The one thing that's missing, but that will soon be developed, it's a reliable e-cash. A method where buying on the internet you can transfer funds from A to B, without A knowing B or B knowing A. The way in wich I can take a 20 dollar bill and hand it over to you and there's no record of where it came from. And you may get that without knowing who I am. That kind of thing will develop on the Internet."

Who's going to be the first rapper to sport an enormous blinged-out BTC medallion on his gold chain?  Feels like this should be coming along any day now...

What, if any, effect would the endorsement of a major hollywood celebrity have on the USD / BTC exchange?

Yes, althought it is The Machinery of Freedom. And he is also the son of Milton Friedman.

I think the celebs to go after are the big environmental/climate change supporters.  Dicaprio and Pitt come immediately to mind - but there are plenty.

Bitcoin is so easy on the environment compared to gold, or even paper fiat, that it's a pretty obvious direction to take.  And blood diamonds are only a reflection of the gold-mining industry in most parts of the world.

Of course, the reason this isn't actively pursued is political, and clear.  Missed opportunities.  Pity...

I have some emails out though.
