Ryan Reynolds, a Hollywood actor, believes that cryptocurrency is becoming a “major factor.” He did not, however, say whether he had put some of his money into the asset class.
With the increasing popularity of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, the number of celebrities who show their support for the industry is expanding. Ryan Reynolds, a popular Canadian actor, is the most recent example.
He asserted in a recent interview with Bloomberg Markets that the industry is becoming a “major participant.” Reynolds continued, “In truth, it began its progress a long time ago.”
“I think it’s emerging as a huge, huge player. I mean, it’s been emerging for a long time, so I’m not super surprised.”
The actor, who has appeared in films such as “Deadpool,” “Buried,” and “Safe House,” commended the firms’ efforts to make cryptocurrency trading safer and more accessible. On the other hand, he understands why some people are hesitant to join the bandwagon:
“I mean, 90% of the word crypto is crypt, so I see why certain folks might be put off.”
Reynolds did not reveal whether he holds bitcoin or any other digital assets, despite smiling sarcastically in response to the question:
“I don’t really want to comment on that, but I do see the value in the conversation.”
Prominent Actors keen on Crypto.
Aside from Reynolds, plenty of other Hollywood stars have come out in support of the digital asset sector. Reese Witherspoon, an Oscar winner, is one of them.
She invested in Ethereum (ETH) a few months ago, stating that it was her first time dealing with the cryptocurrency project.
Paris Hilton was another well-known celebrity who dabbled in the industry. She posted a diamond emoticon next to her tweet to show her support for bitcoin on her own Twitter account. The term “diamond hands” is used in crypto culture to describe one’s willingness to hold a particular asset despite its current volatility and hazards.
Winner of an Academy Award Matt Damon is also a part of the digital asset world. He hooked up with the largest cryptocurrency exchange CryptoCom last year to become the face of its marketing campaign. The ad, dubbed “Fortune Favors the Bold,” drew a lot of criticism from the community.
Negative responses flooded Twitter, with many users claiming that the star of the “Bourne” films and “The Martian” should not have connected with the corporation.
