Harry Potter author JK Rowling continued to rile up Bitcoin supporters today, when she apparently revealed her allegiance to BTC’s No.1 competitor—Ethereum.
Rowling tweeted, “This is getting silly. I’m not joining the Bitcoin community. It should be perfectly obvious by now that I’ve been trolling Bitcoin in the hope of boosting my significant Ethereum holdings.*”
This is getting silly. I’m not joining the Bitcoin community. It should be perfectly obvious by now that I’ve been trolling Bitcoin in the hope of boosting my significant Ethereum holdings. * https://t.co/w9hUNOlsHb
— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) May 18, 2020
But she added, “* This is also a joke.”
Rowling dipped a toe into the cryptocurrency world on Friday, May 15, when she ventured to ask: “What is Bitcoin?” The barrage of replies she received did little to further her curiosity, and within days she had announced her regret at ever mentioning Bitcoin.
"3. Never be flippant about Bitcoin on Twitter," she said today, on a list of things to avoid, adding, "On point 3: my mentions are still full of people trying to get me to buy Bitcoin or to explain it to me. It’s very kind of you, but I swear, I now feel fully educated on the subject.”
—Bitcoin started it all. It was the first cryptocurrency, and it launched an industry that now includes thousands. But who invented it, how does it work, and why is it so important? What is Bitcoin? Bitcoin (BTC) is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency. Think of it as a digital token. You can't physically touch or hold Bitcoins, and all Bitcoin transactions are logged on a public, decentralized, immutable ledger. The first official purchase using Bitcoin was for pizza in May 2010. Two pizzas from Papa...
Ethereum, launched in 2015, is currently the second largest cryptocurrency in the world, with a market cap of over $23 billion. Co-founded by Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum pioneered the use of smart contracts, and is expected to undergo a major scaling upgrade in the coming months and years.
Rowling’s sudden entrance to the cryptocurrency corner of Twitter caused a lot of commotion over the weekend. Two CEOs of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in existence were universally shamed for their perceived failure in drawing Rowling further into crypto.
At one point, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong replied to a fake JK Rowling account which had pretended to buy $100 worth of Bitcoin. Besides suffering the indignity of replying to a fake account—a common scam technique in crypto—the CEO was also deemed to have been too eager to shill what one onlooker called his “shitcoins.”
Harry Potter author J.K Rowling suddenly entered into the world of cryptocurrency this weekend, when she took to Twitter to find out about this crazy thing called Bitcoin. But after the replies she received from industry leaders, one wouldn’t blame her for her decision to leave Bitcoin-world just as quickly as she entered. In one embarrassing exchange, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong responded to a fake J.K Rowling account which proclaimed they had just bought $100 worth of Bitcoin. Armstrong urged...
Meanwhile, CEO of Binance, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), swiftly deleted a tweet which said, “Give a woman a fish and you feed her for a day; teach a woman to fish and you feed her for a lifetime. Not that you still need feeding, but…”
Rowling’s continued willingness to engage with the cryptocurrency community—albeit in a joking way—could be a sign that she’s warming to it. And now that she’s familiar with the top two cryptocurrencies, is it time for Harry Potter to become a crypto bro?
Haliey Welch, who catapulted to internet fame after a street interview in which she detailed an oral sex technique, has apologized for her role in the Hawk Tuah meme coin scandal. She added that her silence since the incident was part of a “much-needed” mental health break. This comes after Welch promoted a Solana meme coin called Hawk Tuah (HAWK), in reference to her viral interview, that quickly imploded after its launch. Within 15 minutes, the token was created, soared to a $490 million marke...
Bitcoin enthusiast Charlie Shrem just announced the launch of 21million.com, a Bitcoin faucet designed to distribute small amounts of the crypto to users who complete simple CAPTCHA tasks. The concept isn't new. Back in 2010, early Bitcoin developer Gavin Andresen created the original Bitcoin faucet, which handed out five whole bitcoins at a time to promote adoption. That pioneering giveaway ultimately distributed 19,700 BTC, worth around $1.86 billion at current prices. "Working on getting the...
President Donald Trump is continuing to court the crypto crowd with not one but two crypto-themed dinners this month. Trump spoke at a $1.5 million-per-plate "Crypto & AI Innovators Dinner" hosted by super PAC MAGA Inc., at the Trump National Golf Club in Virginia on Monday, according to his public schedule. The event, which was closed to the press, also featured "crypto czar" David Sacks as a guest. On the same day, he also confirmed a gala dinner, slated for May 22, for holders of the $TRUMP m...
