(TheCoinFront<\/a>) Here in the Bitcoin world, we’ve built up our own celebrities. Figures like Andreas Antonopolous<\/a>, Erik Voorhees, Stefan Molyneux<\/a>, Brock Pierce<\/a>, Charlie Shrem<\/a>, and Gavin Andressen<\/a> should, for better or worse, be familiar names to all Bitcoin aficionados.<\/div>\n
But
\nthere are many celebrities in the outside world as well who have begun
\nembracing Bitcoin<\/a> and cryptocurrency. Here are just a few of them:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

Ashton Kutcher<\/h2>\n
Kutcher may be best known for playing
\nsimple-minded characters like Kelso from That 70’s Show or Jesse from
\nDude Where’s My Car, but in reality he’s anything but.Through his fund, A-Grade Investments, he’s invested in companies like
\nBitPay, which allows merchants to accept Bitcoin payments. He’s also
\ninvested in Skype, Airbnb, and Foursquare, among others.<\/div>\n

Snoop Dogg<\/h2>\n
Snoop Dogg is an active internet user, with a
\npresence on Twitter with tens of thousands of tweets, and a Reddit
\naccount with hundreds of thousands of karma points. In fact, on Reddit
\nhe has even been made the moderator of the subreddit \/r\/trees, devoted
\nto, what else, pot.Last December, Snoop posted a tweet saying his new album<\/a>
\nwould be “available in bitcoin and delivered in a drone\u201d. Coinbase
\nnoticed the tweet and responded that “we could make the Bitcoin part a
\nreality for you.” While Snoop said he wanted “to make it happen,” it
\nnever materialized.<\/div>\n

Richard Sherman<\/h2>\n
Sherman, the cornerback for the Seattle Seahawks
\nfootball team, has an online store on his website. At the beginning of
\nJanuary, he posted the following on his Facebook page:”For all you techies out there, I’m now accepting Bitcoins at my online
\nstore http:\/\/store.richardsherman25.com. I hear it’s the currency of the
\nfuture.”<\/div>\n

Peter Thiel<\/h2>\n
Peter Thiel might not be a celebrity in the same light as the above people, but he’s a major player in the world nonetheless.The cofounder of Paypal has been a believer in the decentralization of
\nmoney for much longer than Bitcoin has been around, and has openly
\nadmitted he thinks Bitcoin has the power to change the world.<\/div>\n

Richard Branson<\/h2>\n
The well-known billionaire head of Virgin Inc
\nbegan accepting Bitcoin as payment for his Virgin Galactic service, a
\nspace tourism company.He has also invested a significant amount of his personal wealth in
\nBitcoin, which makes him one of the more high profile Bitcoin holders.<\/div>\n
