That's quite interesting to know. At least now i know of this lady and Akon as some of the celebrities that are interested in cryptocurrencies. Let's hope this would be a way to turn the global music industry into accepting digital forms of payments for their activities.

That's a good publicity for Bitcoin at large, although what I saw in regard to the harshtag# is more like Binance know more about this tweet from her, maybe another means to get the public notice around the world and they have gotten that based on this tweet. This could spur the adoption of Bitcoin to some extent even though within some environ(among the elites). That was a good move from her to get into the world of Bitcoin (cryptocurrency).

I can also see how something bad can come out of this - laymen rushing to buy BTC without doing their research, and ending up getting rekt by many of the common pitfalls in this field - leaving coins on exchange and getting hacked, downloading fake wallet, losing their seed, etc. I'd prefer if at this stage people learned about Bitcoin from good sources that guided them through all the dangers.

I don't think it will have that much influence..
An influencer is good when it comes to simple things, buy that cream, tweet that, watch that movie, that girl is hot.
When it comes to anything more difficult than throwing a pizza in an oven 99% of them quit, they give a like or a thumb up but will never take the advice.

And this is financial advice, we will have to cut a lot of their fans who are following her for different reasons, a lot with no financial means to invest and out of the few that remains most of them will do a bit of research. So I will think that the negative effects and unwanted situations will be negligible.

Yeah, I would prefer the same as you but there is one thing, the ones that wanted to and are able to deal with those problems have mostly already heard and bought, the ones not convinced already are the guys either too lazy or that are have no trust in the coin at all. Once mass adoption finally happens to prepare for a wave of situations like that, it's just like with the aviation industry, planes are quite safe, till you let everyone fly one .....

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

More like Binance is paying celebrities to "organically" promote their business, which also means they are promoting Bitcoin. Imo it's not such a great thing, people shouldn't be getting their cryptocurrency opinions from Olympic athletes and other celebrities, they have zero qualifications on the subject and can be shilling for altcoins just as easily.

Possible, it's a win-win situation for Binance, we have seen this kind of stunt being pulled in 2017 wherein a lot of projects are paying high profile celebrities like Floyd to promote their project. So most likely, Binance, follow this blue print in order to capture audiences, specially followers Christie Pearce Rampone. But still this is a good publicity stunt for BTC.

Thats what im thinking where this is just part of marketing stunt in side of Binance since they do know that it can give out significant exposure if they do really target out famous people which will give out publicity of their platform and we dont even know if that whole bitcoin was purchased is totally free or
given on said Gold medalist and just made up some positive words towards it and at the same time it do mentioned about Binance platform.
I do say that this is some sort of casual marketing strategies and this isnt really surprising at all.They're clever when it comes to this one and
that what makes them to the top on where they do really know on what theyre doing.

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

With a huge number of followers, that was good publicity on bitcoin and for the exchange, Binance America, although not really surprising for me as I saw it as normal for a famous personality to get involved in cryptocurrency.

Who knows, she can attract more personality with her action of involving crypto in her financial plans.

I like their hashtag; #EducateDontIntimidate  Cool

Yeah there are so many celebrities that are also investing in bitcoin and it is great because a lot of people might become interested too because of his tweet.

It's becoming trendy, perhaps

As long as new investors can handle the wild price swings and avoid low ranked exchanges and all the dodgy scams around the place they should enjoy being a part of this evolution

It feels good to own a bit of digital gold to HODL for that one day when it eventually pays off (or implodes to zero)

Don't invest more than you can afford to lose and be prepared to lose up to 90% of your investment if you unfortunately invested during a major pump

Buy when the technical indicators show oversold conditions only, and if you're buying Bitcoin for the long term anywhere under $10,000 is a decent entry point now just wait for the dips

I think Binance is a good exchange to invest to. The market price is still lower than 10k$ so it is a great opportunity for long term investment maybe she doesn't have a lot of knowledge in bitcoin or investment so investing at this moment is already a good move at the same time she is promoting bitcoin because a lot of people is going to see her tweet.

Advertisement from Binance or not, did the tweet attract some of her fans to BTC or not? It did, and that's what matters.

I took some time and read the comments below the tweet, and it’s mostly about congratulatory messages - Welcome to the team&Welcome aboard - and many of tweets are with hashtag of BA, which convinces me even more that it is a paid advertisement. Out of almost 310k followers, the question is how many of them will see the message at all, and how many of them will understand what it is all about.

The whole thing is actually focused on the US market, maybe Binance wants to take his share of all those huge stimulus checks that Americans are getting these days Smiley

Agree this is a great advertisement of Binance but I don't think it was intentionally maybe it is just a simple tweet from Christie Pearce Rampone updating her followers than he already had the go signal on bitcoin.

Still, great news since she is advertising bitcoin the more investor of bitcoin the higher the market price could pump especially with this tweeter posts. Smiley

I think advertising BTC is a risky thing itself anyway, a risk you have to assume - you don't want hoards of fans come in and insult your family every tweet for making them lose money, which makes me think she might've done some research herself beforehand.

It seems so to me too, unless the US Binance CEO and Christie are not some old friends so it all turned out to be spontaneous, which is a less likely option in this case. But while this is a good advertisement for BTC, one should not believe that her followers will immediately jump into the BTC wagon (at least not most of them). Personally, I am not one of those who listen to the advice of celebrities, because in most cases they promote what they are paid for.
We know how competitive the binance is they even acquire the most trusted crypto data provider, Coinmarketcap, so there may be a reason why Christie is doing it. Anyways this is great advertisement for bitcoin, but I'm thinking if bitcoin falls down people would be like " I told you not to...... blah" If this is true, how much do you think did binance pay for this action?

This could have been a better news if no one is involve, just by her that he discovered the bitcoin and invested into it.


I really hope that such celebrities also get convinced to buy a hardware wallet, else the news may turn bad sooner or later.

I doubt in that, it is in the interest of exchanges to keep as many crypto funds under their control, and if there is truth in the data that can be found on the internet, millions of BTCs are right there - under the control of a very small number of people. Good for their business, bad for those who think Mt.Gox can never happen again.
yeah as an exchange, huge exchange like binance,  promoting hardware wallet is like a suicide business that is a counterpart of an exchange as they regulate crypto.

She was convinced to buy some BTCBTC for the first time.
although CPR did it for the first time to buy Bitcoin by getting (medal) it gets, this is a step in the right direction and it is good for investing in futures, for him if he understands about Bitcoin.

At least Christie Pearce Rampone fans, there must be someone who follows CPR's footsteps to do the same thing as investing in Bitcoin, maybe CPR already knows what will happen next to the value of Bitcoin after halving, so he decided to buy Bitcoin.

in my opinion this is something very good because more people will be interested in bitcoin. Celebrities have a habit of copying what another celebrity did because they don't like to lose to another celebrity. who knows with this purchase of bitcoin stimulate more celebrities buy many bitcoins. What worries me Is how many bitcoins these celebrities buy

Mentioning Binance is almost obvious that its a paid tweet.
Its still a good publicity for BTC even if Binance are buying their tweets.

well, it looks like binance wants to have a high profile in the world, they take giant steps every year

Its still a good publicity for BTC even if Binance are buying their tweets. But they should just pick the ones who are inclined to trading. Or probably celebrities who once a upon a time in a movie that is related to trading probably Leonardo DiCaprio, he has more followers too.

If celebrities themselves investment in bitcoin & start promoting it, then that can be the reason of increasing the price of bitcoin Csuse more people can know about bitcoin by them. That's really a good news for btc lovers when btc Stucks between 9200$ to 9800$

This is a common thing in the crypto world. Celebrities like Ashton Kutcher, 50 Cent etc have invested in cryptocurrencies and this does help attract more people to the crypto world, but is definitely not enough.

Many big celebrities need to invest in crypto since the current number of celebrity investors is quite low. Also, they need to encourage their followers to use BTC as a payment method and not as an asset.

Christie Pearce Rampone a three-time Olympic gold medalist invested in bitcoin. She told her fans that she had a conversion with the CEO of Binance America, Catherine Coley.

She was convinced to buy some BTCBTC for the first time.

It's good thing that bitcoin brought to another level since for sure her post can gather more attention on what she was going to but my question about her is  can she handle the volatility of the market? If she is brought by hype for sure he will get panic when the price is dumping, But let's hope that she was well educated for the talks and she is open for the possibilities of the moving market of bitcoins.

I had the same feeling on reading the hashtags

"I talk with somebody from BINANCE, and ..I also bought some bitcoins"
vs
"I bought Bitcoins! after I had a talk with a friend!

Anyhow, as much as I dislike both shilling and binance, maybe something good will come out of this. After all, it's better than nothing!

I really hope that such celebrities also get convinced to buy a hardware wallet, else the news may turn bad sooner or later.

You can't store these

in a hardware wallet.  Grin
