Until recently, the general public had no interest in cryptocurrency which, almost exclusively, excited the developers, engineers and entrepreneurs, involved in its conception since a decade. 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. Here are a celebrities who publicly back various cryptocurrencies:

Gwyneth Paltrow
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow receives much media-attention, often for dodgy healthcare advice, on her lifestyle website “Goop,” and her involvement in various business ventures. She is a fan of crypto, endorsing the bitcoin wallet, Abra, and is an advisor there since August 2017.
Snoop Dogg
Ashton Kutcher
Founding his own investment firm called “A-Grade” in 2010, Kutcher also put his money in UnikoinGold, following Mark Cuban of Shark Tank fame.
