Till very recently, cryptocurrencies had not appealed substantially to the ordinary people as it was predominantly the engineers, entrepreneurs, and developers who had been investing and trading in these. But, the 2017 Bitcoin bubble changed things as cryptocurrencies began to escalate in value. So, millions of people started to buy shares and install mining farms. The Bitcoin price value kept falling throughout 2017, but experts are hopeful that 2020 will prove to be a good year for the currency.

Some many public figures and celebrities have started endorsing cryptocurrencies, and many of them are owners of Bitcoins and other such digital currencies. Below is provided a list of some of these celebrities supporting the Bitcoin:

• Bill Gates is the founder of Microsoft, and in 2014, showed keen interest in the world of cryptocurrency, according to an interview with Bloomberg. While Gates may have had some reservations concerning the Bitcoin, he remains one of the most well-known celebrities in favor of it. A reason why he supports it is that, unlike other currencies, with Bitcoin, you do not physically have to be in the same location. For larger transactions, Bitcoin, he feels, is better than regular currencies that can be quite inconvenient. Automated bitcoin trading apps are getting good recognition among top-level investors in spite of widespread rumors like bitcoin era truffa or fraud in the cryptocurrency market.
