and why the hell do we have to worry if he spoke or did not speak? bitcoin already has a great popularity and eventually everyone will know about bitcoin so do not need to be surprised when some famous talk about bitcoin, we need that people buy bitcoin, use bitcoin and get interested in technology, we need to fend off the scammers who are messing bitcoin and this kanye west does not seem to me to be very well in psychological terms, I mean it looks like it's in a different world, maybe I'm wrong


many people already know about bitcoin

I never said anyone needs to worry about anything.. Secondly you are naive if you think bitcoin is popular when less than 5percent of the worlds population knows about it.

I really don't know if hearing bitcoin shills from a person like Kanye is a good thing; knowing that Kanye recently made some 'interesting' and definitely questionable statements saying that "slavery is a choice". Any publicity is good publicity, I guess?

Though to some this things are not of  importance but this could help us increase the number of bitcoin community members. Kanye West is a popular individual and if we make some memes or taglines or qoutation with his name under it and spread it across the social media his fans could also be joining and buy some bitcoins. Though this is funny but its worth trying.

Mentions from popular people can in a way help the spread the popularity of Bitcoin which can lead soon for it becoming a household name just like having a dollar or a euro. This is a good thing so that people will not anymore be looking at Bitcoin as sort of a mysterious object that has to be avoided all because some people are talking about it as a tool by the scammers or even as a way to finance terrorism.

While I do not think that we should worry too much about a particular famous person mentioning bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency, at the same time it is a small signal that showed to us that cryptocurrencies are not as obscure as so many people think, also while a significant amount of people already know of the existence of bitcoin even if they have not invested in it, is always a good thing to spread awareness about it.

With this video, can make his fans to join in this venture that could make Bitcoin become more unstable and well ... for normal people in general should not consider the words that come out of his mouth is a serious thing.

Things like this, publicity, can cultivate a sense of curiosity and drive people to find out more about Bitcoin and eventually join if they understand what Bitcoin is. There are also people who only follow, either follow the idol or the trends to look cool.

He is a successful businessman, it would be good if he would popularize bitcoin
