Well most athletes and celebrities aren't seasoned investors.
Just because they have achieved some success in their respective fields, this rarely translates to the field of investment.
For example, just because somebody can run a sub 10 second 100m dash, doesn't mean they can also spot lucrative investment opportunities better than other people.
I'd personally avoid looking at what any of these celebrities or influencers tell you about any project—odds are they were paid or convinced to shill it.

Your arguments are spot on, most of the celebrities are not seasoned investors and if you look at the past athletes they made millions of dollars during their playing career but then end up busting everything but now a days some of the athletes understand that they will not be having an extended period of time to make money and majority are reinvesting in other sectors and so is the reason we hear many athletes talking about bitcoin and other investments.

It looks like a lot of celebrities are getting interested in investing or buying some bitcoin.

Well,this a good news that can help bitcoin more publicity and gain more adoption. It's difficult to convince the government to accept bitcoin and crypto currency but if a lot of celebrities will engage in crypto ,then it will be a good sign that many will follow them to trust in bitcoin and other cryptocurrency.

Slowly but surely, well-known personalities like Christie has been educated about the real and positive use cases of Bitcoin, which is a good thing. It's all about enlightening them about this and not the ponzi schemes that are using Bitcoin as "front".

We expect that not all can be pleased by Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency on the planet. It's all about continuous education and advocacy about the positive use cases of it and identify what's legit or scam about Bitcoin.

To introduce celebrities into crypto universe is a smart movement from many crypto exchanges and other related businesses, as they work promoting not only crypto currencies, but also crypto businesses. Although I can't assure this athlete is being paid to promote bitcoin in this case, I see no problem on this.

I don't think she was only paid for doing such publicity because it would be ineffective in the first place. Imagine, why would I pay someone who is not so popular and not so influential person unlike Hollywood celebrities/famous athletes to advertise bitcoin (even let's say the Binance as well) Grin

? So for me, it was a true and genuine adoption. What a good news after all, it brings positive vibe for all of us.

Yes, it is a true adoption. More celebrities are using cryptocurrency for investment, but very few are known to the outer world. Some even tried creating their own cryptocurrency. One such is the coin from Akon, he recently spoke to the radio briefing the need of cryptocurrencies in the growing world. Same time there are projects that using the name of celebrities to scam people. Always we need to be careful and make investment.

This is a good exposure for cryptocurrency specifically to bitcoin. This could bring little by little a good market for bitcoin and could add volatility in the future since btc had becoming expensive now and that it stabilize a bit.

However, good news like this had also been contradicted by the scammers issue using bitcoin to scam others. Hope to see their activities to stop or minimize to so that many will going to trust bitcoin. These scammers around is not really good for bitcoin or cryptocurrency.

The range of this kind of advertisement is too long: celebrities can reach not only their fans and followers, but also at media vehicles in general. The only issue is when celebrities start promoting ponzi schemes or the called shit coins, but that is not the case here.

celebrity ? i though celebrity means actor and actreses or maybe he is also an actress ? many actors and actreses were already involved on btc but this is my first time to witness an athlete that invest in btc........

Celebrities are the famous individuals we have in our societies, those individuals have millions of followership and have influence on them. Their strengths lay on their followers, what they speak to their followers is or are their last command sometimes, they are the game changers in the social world and they have great influence on the internet. For a celebrity to have bought some bitcoin mean a huge impact is ahead of Bitcoin. Let hope this improve the awareness of Bitcoin to the society.

To be honest I do not believe in the 'celebrity glamour' at all - they're not the most skilled, there are people out there who would deserve to be praised but you can't think of anyone who has had some videos and followers as celebrities - they're just normal people, definitely not the builders of this world, the thinkers or the entrepreneurs. Of course, with no names this can be interpreted in many ways!

In any way, the fact is that if an influencer of any kind is backing up crypto then I have no problem sticking up for these people - they probably understand more than the so called stereotypical 'celebrity' and I wish there were more people using their influence in a more productive, positive manner - the world would probably advance at a much faster rate!

if nothing else, some of her followers will take a look at bitcoin and check for themselves. though they dont have the real foundation yet they can influence their followers to check out on cryptocurrency. and that will be their help - add more people that will be interested on crypto.

This is somehow a great advertisement for Bitcoin as this personality has a huge amount of followers. This is a great news for the bitcoin community as it opens the eye of the followers of her about what Bitcoin is and how it will be beneficial for her.

I really agree with your opinion, that as a figure with many followers we know with a blue check by Twitter, it is a sign that there is recognition of him. with what was said at least many people who want to know what has been said about bitcoin. at least a lot of people will try to find out what bitcoin is and then they just need to decide what to do.

Her influenced will bring attentions to those people who are following her, there still many people around who doesn't have any ideas regarding to this investment cryptocurrency. Interest coming from her followers adds potentials for more newcomers from this market.

She can bring people if she will keep providing education regarding to this investment, her popularities will adds up to get more possible investors.

Finally there are athletes who dare to be open to the public about bitcoin investment, this is good news for the development of bitcoin.
Christie Pearce Rampone, who is an Olympic athlete after having a direct conversation with the CEO of Binance America, his mind immediately
opened and bought bitcoin for the first time. Good job from Catherine Coley, the CEO of Binance America, is indeed the best promotion is to
introduce bitcoin to famous people.

Undoubtedly, such situations are very beneficial for the entire cryptocurrency market, because thanks to fans of famous people who invest in cryptocurrency, the number of interested people increases, and accordingly, investments in cryptocurrency increase. But as regards the choice of the gold medalist to invest in cryptocurrency, I believe that famous people who have a lot of money, while managing their common sense, always make investments in different values, including not only precious metals, stones and securities, but also cryptocurrency. I believe that there are many more such rich people, just no one wants to advertise their actions regarding investments in cryptocurrency.

There is an impressive number of public figures who have shown their interest in investing their fortunes in cryptocurrency for business ventures and more. Back in 2013 Snoop Dog was selling his albums at 0.3 Bitcoins. Another famous personality Mike Tyson in collaboration with Bitcoin Direct, he came up with a Bitcoin Wallet and in 2015 he launched ATM system, a virtual wallet operated using bitcoins. So its not the first time celebrities are taking interest and investing in crypto.

I wish a lot of people, not only celebrities are also willing to get educated about crypto just like the hashtag she used. It's really interesting to see influential people recognizing bitcoin and crypto because their accounts are good platforms in promoting it to the public, regardless if it's paid or not. But I also hope that the public won't just easily believe in what the celebrities are saying without researching it because scammers can also use this as an opportunity to deceive them.

So I checked her account a little bit, I hope that she already know other possibilities in crypto. Also, she has over 300k followers on twitter, probably some of it will get attracted in learning bitcoin. It's not that big of a contribution in the crypto community, but at least she was able to publicize her support towards bitcoin.
