Top Celebrity Crypto Projects and Support
There are many public figures who have expressed their support for cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, BXR Blockster, Binance, Tether, XRP and others as the currency of the future. Some of them even have millions of dollars worth of bitcoins. There are famous celebrities who publicly support cryptocurrencies. Many celebrities have been doing it for years on account of environmental concerns, security concerns, distrust of government control, and so on, while some see it as a medium-term and long-term opportunity. Top celebrities have already invested part of their fortunes in various cryptocurrencies. Until recently, cryptocurrencies were something unknown to the general public, reserved almost exclusively for those who participated in their conception a decade ago: engineers, developers and entrepreneurs in the field of new technologies.
Bill Gates
Already in 2014, the founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates, expressed in an interview 'Bitcoin is exciting because it shows how cheap it can be. Bitcoin is better than a normal currency in the sense that you don't have to be physically in the same place and obviously for large transactions, physical money can be a big hassle.' Bill Gates owns the most bitcoins of any celebrity on the planet, although the exact number is unknown.
Paris Hilton
Since 2018, Paris Hilton has repeatedly expressed her support for cryptocurrencies and, in particular, little-known ones: in a tweet from September of that year, she expressed enthusiasm to 'participate' in Lydian Coin's initial coin offering (ICO).
Ashton Kutcher
Ashton Kutcher is a strong supporter of Bitcoin and even has his own investment firm, A-Grade. He has also invested in a sports betting blockchain technology, called UnikoinGold, along with billionaire Mark Cuban.
In addition, for years he has defended the security offered by the relocation of Bitcoin. In 2016, months before the US election, Kutcher tweeted: 'Why do I get the feeling that the best protection against a Sanders or Trump nomination may be to buy bitcoins?'
Mike Tyson
After getting out of the ring, Mike Tyson has followed a somewhat erratic life. However, in recent years he has become one of the first public figures to push Bitcoin.

FC Barcelona striker Lionel Messi is an ambassador for the startup Sirin Labs, owned by Kazakh patron KenesRakishev.
