These Celebrities Earned Millions, All Because They were “Crypto-curious”

But the bitcoin bubble in 2017 saw cryptocurrencies soaring in value, with millions purchasing crypto-shares and setting up own mining farms. The value of bitcoin has dropped over the past year, but experts predict a new cryptocurrency boom in 2020. With a number of public figures investing fortunes in cryptocurrency, many more are investing in cryptocurrency for business ventures and more.
