I remember an episode of the Big bang theory show where all main characters were searching for their forgotten bitcoins after they found out how much it costs nowadays. That's just a comedy show about nerds and kinda for nerds and I even doubt that actors of the BBT started to use bitcoins after that.
Recently I commented a thread about Kardashians and bitcoins. They are really great influencers today, but I doubt they use crypto, too much money and attention without that.

In my country many artists also use bitcoin. And of course Manny Pacquiao is here with his own crypto currency and this is the Pac token. Senator Manny Pacquiao is also a part of GCOX, but I don't know much about it so please take a look here. https://ph.linkedin.com/company/gcox-official

Hey
I am really not sure about Bitcoins but am sure that they are using cryptocurrencies for sure , they are exchanging cryptocurrencies too sometimes like that one time on Ellen show the donation was made in a Cryptocurrency which was indeed a very new concept at that time.
Celebs may use it to hide their total stock and make secret transactions who know ?
But that's for sure that they are using it and some might be vocal where as some might not be , who knows.

Only with country have make bitcoin become legal transaction and celebrities wanna promote bitcoin as legal currency payment transaction and become most safety investment assets, many countries not allowed bitcoin become legal transaction and many celebrities not brave for promoting bitcoin to the public.
It is really a great thing if those personalities and celebrities will promote the virtual currency. Because for sure they can encourage more people without using flowery words but only through their titles. We all know that thise artist and celebrities will easily caught the people's interest because of their fame.
The people will tend to be easy to believe if there is someone who has been known by many people and we can call them as public figure. Everything they do will be easily imitated by many people although that is hard thing to imitate. At least they give an information about bitcoin and tell how to use it then I will believe there will be many people who curious against it. Moreover, if he try to educate many people to know bitcoin deeply such as there is an agency who socialize about bitcoin. This thing will be visited by many people, especially fans of him. Even it will be good comparing he just promoted about bitcoin but he doesn't give any information about it.

Average people in the mainstream world would surely use Bitcoin for their daily lives if they see someone famous patronizing the cryptocurrency.
Eh, maybe I'm giving too much credit to the average person, but I don't think they'd be influenced enough to go out and buy bitcoin based on a celebrity endorsement.  Some people might, of course.  There are people who refuse to get their kids vaccinated because certain celebrities keep spouting ignorant nonsense about junk science, but they don't represent the majority and I doubt any celebrity endorsement of bitcoin would have much of an effect on adoption or price.

I'd still love to see a mainstream movie with bitcoin as a major plot point (or even a good indie flick).  I know there are some foreign films that at least mention it, but thus far there haven't been any big Hollywood productions that involve bitcoin in the storyline.  I think something like that would have more influence than a celebrity testifying to how great bitcoin is and what it can be used for.

It is not impossible that some celebrities will be using Bitcoin now considering that bitcoin is very popular. In fact, in our area I know a celebrity who has been using bitcoin and he open confirmed it and he even accept bitcoin payment in one of his restaurants just to promote bitcoin and to spread word about bitcoin. Celebrities can also be investors but maybe they don’t publicize it because they could be a target of criticism or rumors made by those people who would want to destroy bitcoin.

Don't know about international celebrities but here in my country some local celebrities are endorsing and showing interest in cryptocurrency not just by bitcoin alone. For example Manny Pacquiao (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/09/02/manny-pacquiao-launches-world-first-celebrity-cryptocurrency/ ). And there is still a lot to mention but let's stick to the biggest one.

They have seen the potential and advantage of Bitcoin, especially when there were reports that Bitcoin gave the higher returns next is Netflix, which means, once they will hold or invest on it after more years it will be possible that they will gain more, that's why it is really important to hold even a single Bitcoin now.

There might be some celbrities or public figure who are using cryptocurrency, but some might be silent about it. It might bring a good feedback to the market since celebrities has a big influence to their fans and the mass. There had been movies who featured crypto, however only few people can relate about it.

It's been 11 years since Bitcoin's inception, where it has become an extremely popular cryptocurrency used by people worldwide. Many governments, central banks, and even mainstream businesses and companies have become interested in grasping the benefits provided by Bitcoin's Blockchain technology. As a result, we've seen many positive comments from popular figures like John McAfee, Elon Musk, and even Jack Dorsey talking about Bitcoin. However, only a few seem to use it in their daily lives.

Imagine someone famous within the mainstream world showing him/herself using Bitcoin in a Hollywood movie or even in public. We may be still far from seeing this become a reality as Bitcoin is still not scalable for the world yet (the Lightning Network is under active development). Maybe after micropayments become viral on the LN, we'll be able to see more celebrities using Bitcoin in public? Average people in the mainstream world would surely use Bitcoin for their daily lives if they see someone famous patronizing the cryptocurrency.

Do you think celebrities in the mainstream world are still using Bitcoin for their own benefit? If so, which famous people are deeply into Bitcoin right now? I'd love to see someone like Keanu Reeves, Microsoft's Satya Nadella, or even Apple's Tim Cook using (and patronizing) Bitcoin someday. At such degree, I think Bitcoin would've reached massive adoption within the mainstream world. Thoughts? Huh


Why are people so concern about celebrities using bitcoin?  A lot of these people do not understand what bitcoin is and it's purpose in the financial ecosystem. All they see is an asset that will make them huge profit. These people will not add any significant improvement into the bitcoin market and ecosystem.

Bitcoin is really gaining it's popularity day by day, that is why famous people have begun to invest their money in bitcoin. People have started to have morw interest to use cryptocurrency than fiat currency because truly believe that it is more better than physical money.

You're right, I think Manny Pacquiao is enough to make a huge demand and everyone will easily adopt bitcoin or altcoins. if one of the biggest one will support crypto for mainstream then everyone will not give it a doubt because they trusted that one and Manny Pacquiao is a trusted one not just in our country but in the whole world. everyone will take a huge benefits not just the celebrities, who support crypto.

On the other side, some celebrities are afraid to damage their image. So it would be hard for them to advertise Bitcoin to the public when there's a lot of risk and scam that they can encounter. You know some fans just really follow their idols even if they don't know what it is. So if others got scammed they can blame that celebrity because he/she promoted it. And also, when a famous person promotes Bitcoin, scammers can use his name to scam people... Maybe some celebrities are just afraid to tell the public but maybe, they're also using Bitcoin without telling the public.

In my evil perspective,
Maybe, bitcoin is a mainstream thing in their circle. They take benefits from bitcoin, but in a bad way.
For example, to avoid tax in their country.
Well, maybe they can get payment separetely, for example 70 fiat : 30 btc.

Who knows? I dont have any data (from internet) about this. This is just my “what if” opinion.

Well, in fact, it is considerably a free advertisement to see celebrities using bitcoin even in just the mainstream media or social media platforms, what more it could be if they also show utilization of bitcoin and cryptocurrency to movies and tv series. This will in fact impart a great adoption for people to start wondering what bitcoin is, how to use it, and why it is the future of our currency for these days.

But for now, we might not know, maybe they are already utilizing bitcoin but without its clue on the mainstream media platforms.
their influence will be stronger if it is from a personal attitude without the support of any party.

Some of what I have seen so far, many celebrities are only involved with ico or the emergence of a new altcoin, their attitude they are still commercially connected from other parties. on the other hand, I am sure they are also worried if they reveal their personal attitude to use bitcoin and are then blamed for obscuring their true assets in tax obligations.

The role of public figures can indeed attract the potential for increasing crypto users without us knowing. With the high value of popularity, it will be easy as a public figure to get the attention of his followers. At least it can add more crypto users by just using the name. Same as minimal work, but maximum results.
Celebrities same a like  with commercial endorsement got a good impacts with fans so letting them to also being drag from this business will
bring good publicity and awareness to this industry. There's no question that people are being attracted when they've seen known person who
also participating with this venue of business.
