Famous personalities make their contribution to the growth of cryptocurrency quotes. One such example is entrepreneur Elon Musk. His remarks about Dogecoin led to the fact that the value of the altcoin in just three days rose by 1,115%. Tesla CEO and founder of SpaceX in January of this year even added the word " Bitcoin " to his Twitter profile for a period of time . The businessman also put the logo of the first cryptocurrency as an avatar, but only for one day.
Musk's example was recently followed by the son of Beatles musician John Lennon. Sean Ono Lennon supported the laser eyes flash mob launched by bitcoin fans last month. There are celebrities who not only talk about cryptocurrency, but also use it.
Terry Crews
Hollywood actor Terry Crews introduced his own cryptocurrency called POWER in March. For this he used the Roll platform. Crews said he uses the community on the Discord messenger to distribute his digital currency. There are already 3.34 million tokens in circulation, with a total of 10 million coins planned to be released.
Crews said that the idea to create his own cryptocurrency came to him during a recent trip to Milan. There, the actor wanted to buy designer furniture, but he did not have enough money in his bank account. Then he turned to the local bank to get money, but they refused him there. Crews is sure that the refusal was directly related to the color of his skin. He really likes that cryptocurrency doesn't care what skin color the person who owns it is, and how old he is.
Grimes
Canadian singer Grimes, who gave birth to her son Elona Musk last May, made $ 5.8 million in 20 minutes by releasing her own collection of NFT tokens. The presentation of the collection took place at the Nifty Gateway site. The tokens were tied to four drawings that the artist created in collaboration with her brother, digital artist Mac Boucher. The drawings tell the story of a goddess struggling with decadence in a fictional world.
The artist will donate part of her earnings to Carbon 180, a non-governmental organization dedicated to reducing carbon emissions. Grimes continues to run his NFT token giveaways on Twitter.
NFT tokens are unique and not divisible. Such a token is used to confirm ownership of an object; it cannot be replaced without the consent of the owner.
Jay-Z
Rapper Sean Corey Carter, known as Jay-Z, not only owns crypto assets, but also wants to develop cryptocurrency technology. In February, the musician, along with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, donated 500 bitcoins to create a special fund that will focus on expanding the use of bitcoin.
The goal of the foundation is to turn the main digital coin into currencies for the entire Internet. In 2018, Jay-Z supported financial startup Robinhood, which provides the ability to trade cryptocurrency.
Paris Hilton
In early March, actress Paris Hilton tweeted that she would be delighted to release her first non-fungible token (NFT). So she responded to the Finnish entrepreneur and owner of the Mega file sharing service Kim Dotkom, who suggested that Hilton could earn more than $ 30 million with NFT tokens.
It is noteworthy that Hilton has already issued its NFT token. In August last year, the actress sold on the NFT Cryptograph site a token tied to her cat's drawing. The lot was then valued at 40 Ethereum, which at that time cost about $ 17 thousand. Hilton donated this money to the Meals on Wheels and LA Food Bank charities, as well as an organization that makes backpacks for the homeless.
Lindsey Lohan
American actress Lindsay Lohan not only sold her own NFT token on the Rarible platform, but also made several statements about bitcoin, calling it "the future." The artist appreciated the rally of the first cryptocurrency, writing on Twitter "bitcoin to the moon!" ("Bitcoin to the moon" - orig).
Lohan said she believes in a world that is "financially decentralized." The actress planned to transfer the proceeds from the sale of the token to charities that accept cryptocurrency. According to her, the younger generation must "adapt to the revolution that humanity is witnessing."
Maisie Williams
Actress Maisie Williams, who played Arya Stark in Game of Thrones, took an interest in cryptocurrencies at the end of 2020 and asked Twitter followers what they thought about investing in bitcoin. According to Coingecko, in December alone, the flagship cryptocurrency grew by 52.6% from $ 19.6 thousand to $ 29 thousand.
The actress wondered if she should "go long." Most commentators advised Williams not to do this. She later replied that she did not listen to the opinion of the majority and bought bitcoin anyway. "Thanks for the advice. I bought it anyway, ”Williams wrote.
