yes, I agree with what you say. if we really listen and believe in celebrities, that's the beginning of your failure in this cryptocurrency market. we better study with someone who has been long and understands about market analysis and believes in analysis and speculation alone rather than having to believe only in an artist. maybe celebrities are already known to many people, and everything said will affect everyone. but for this market, I don't think celebrities have a big influence.

celeb will not guarantee about ico, that is good or bad. it can be good or it can be scam. even, expert cant guarantee it. its like gambling if you are not analyze from beginning. they just want offer from developer. so its not about how great that ico, but about the money Grin

DJ Khaled and Mayweather had an issue about shilling an ICO. And other celebrities hyping or promoting scam coins. Who would actually rely on their words? If you're listening to celebs then you are not ready for this type of market at all.

Celebs are certainly bad for ICOs in my opinion. They can only be helpful if the coins are already established like Eth or Xrp. I'm very sure that in the future when mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies has happened, a lot of celebrities, models or hollywood actors will shill their own tokens in the ads.

It is not that they are bad but I don't think Celebrities will just accept it like that.

There are a lot of ways to advertise cryptocurrencies especially the new ones since there are a lot of sites, forums, and platforms that posted these things and there are also, obviously a lot of people there looking up into it. Why would you pay a Celebrity to advertise your coin if you can just (for example) start a Signature Campaign here in the forum? They are Celebrities and that means a lot of people are ready to watch him or her but with a huge talent fee of course. Even if you pay them huge money, I don't think they will say yes that easily as we all know how cryptocurrencies are viewed these days.

In our everyday lives, people use products that celebrities promote, promoting coins/icos/tokens is no different from it, they get paid to do shilling it's you who needs to do due diligence.

I happened to see one Ann thread of a Russian ICO, project of a Russian celebrity. I didnt hear about the project anymore but during that time, the project was so noisy and talked about by many since it belonged to a well known celebrity. I was just not sure if there were genuine supporters and investors just because of the celebrity.
I am sure many have bitcoin among famous celebrities, because they are people who are greedy for money and bitcoin one of the promising investments for the future.
They invest everywhere, from restaurants to cruise ships, the important thing is that their names can be sold to make a big profit. Therefore, I'm sure celebrities invest in bitcoin.
Of course bro, i'm sure many rich celebrities invest too on bitcoin. For promoting cryptos, maybe some celebs accept the offer but i'm sure the celebs is not use the crypto that they promote. They only do it for money, endorse the altcoins like DJ Khaled and Mayweather.

In here, local celebrities are promoting crypto also they are using crypto as well as their investment. This is why crypto is "kinda" famous here, why I said "kinda' because" still people are neglecting the fact that crypto is not related with crimes and they think crypto is just MLM and HYIP stuff.

I might listen if the celeb have already been known for engaging in the technology sector,

They were only hired to promote a crypto .  it does not mean that they are using a crypto before or today  .

say someone who has invested in certain tech startups before. I might think that he/she knows what he is going into, invested and now promoting it. But seriously, Mayweather?

They dont really care on what they are dealing with as long as it is legal . they will promote the product even if they dont ever use it before because they are bieng paid   . may weather is a famous boxer , so its also normal for him to become an advertiser/promoter   but we dont know if he is also investing on crypto in real life .

I think some people filed legal cases against those two personalities that you mentioned and they already paid some fine for the shilling that they have made with some kind of scam project if I'm correct. Well, no one actually knows if a project will succeed or not even if the most famous celebrities will promote it if there are no investors of that certain crypto related project it will still fail unless there is some kind of manipulation that will be going to happen, lol.

There are lots of dumb people around buddy, never underestimate how stupid the average person can be when ‘promised’ riches.

If something seems top good to be true, it usually is.
Correct, even a person with high intellect sometimes get caught and taken the bait of scammers when it comes to money returns for their investment, even if the ROI is so fascinating and unbelievable they will still believe because there is money involved and they are too greedy. Cool

Maybe in some range celebs could promote cryptocurrencies but this is not substantial. First of all they use any kind of promotion to promote themselves in the first place and beside that cryptocurrencies users are mainly not kind of population who would be intereseted too much what celebs have to say.
Cryptocurrencies need promotion, that is true, because that is still rather new technology but I don't think celebs are the right persons for that.
LOL that's correct and Crypto Currency users do not watch Television often or not watching television at all, I guess celebrities have a small amount of impact when it comes to promoting an ICO or an STO. I don't think that Crypto Currency needs more promotion because it will only create a FOMO effect just like what happened back in the year 2017 when the hype is extremely done and a lot of people got affected by FOMO and entered the Crypto investing world without knowing how risky this industry is. This is just based on my own opinion and point of view. Smiley

I heard a news that Akon (singer) will be launch his currency. According to some sources i found an article but still not any progress or further updates. Some people are quite interested to spread these kind of news and they get views, claps, and followers. And everyone knows that celebrities have their own business and they are not taking interest in these kind of risky business.

According to some authenticated Sources

We all know that this is a developer strategy to attract sympathy, especially for new investors, and in fact it is a joke. because celebs don't know about crypto or bitcoin.
so this is where you have to use your experience and knowledge even more in every investment speculation

They have tons of followers and supporters ,
Maybe they could use it to boost the project,
The only problem is what are they promoting is it a food one or it could be a scam that they didn't even know.

Crypto is still developing and still transforming and that is the reason why celebrities and influencers get often approached by different companies to promote and advertise crypto-based projects. When talking about influencers in general , 90% of the time they don’t use or know anything about the product they advertise, they’re in it just for the money. 
I hope the situation improves with the improvement of the crypto, market and its users.

For a long time products and services has employed celebrities to promote there brand and this strategy has been paying off.
 Cryptocurrency being promoted by the right celebrity with the right idea can improve the popularity of cryptocurrency
There were in the past icos that used that tactic with some success but to me that seems a cheap tactic, let people to decide what it is the best coin based on the the actual performance of the coin, the developers and how fast they can reach their goals instead of using the tactic of hiring a celebrity to promote your product, this is especially true because many of those celebrities are not really going to understand what they are promoting and could easily get in trouble with the authorities if they promoted a scam.

And that will be terrible for them since the thing they care more than anything is their public image and it will be tarnished if they promoted a scam.

If it's a big name doing the promoting, I'm pretty sure the majority would buy it.

Though having the celebrities to promote coins will sell based on their fans who will be interested to buy into the promotion, but the real picture of the product will be the most concerned. Many celebrities are always after financial gains and fame and for them to promote a legitimate product in crypto-space will be rare in my own view.

Money is the reason why they accept to promote altcoins. They have a little bit knowledge about what is cryptocurrency is but I don't think if they are really interested in it. They are using Celebrity for hype, like Stox did.
I have seen allot of celebrities promoting bitcoin and crypt currency because they are having good benefits from it if they will not support it, even then it don’t any bad effect on value of crypto currency but it is good for crypto currency promotion and its value as well as price because still there are so many people in the world who admires different celebrities and they try to adopt all those things which are being use by celebrities.
