Way back in 2009, the worldwide crypto-currency system Bitcoin started its ledger based on Blockchain infrastructure, and in the years since then, it has become quite a phenomenon in the digital world. Even with the reservations of many, this new currency proved to be one of those things that you cannot really stop from taking over the world, just like the internet itself and celebrities are no more behind in embracing this revolution. 

Blockchain is not only about Bitcoin. It has a much bigger and widespread impact on the virtual world with its potential to create a vast and all-inclusive global infrastructure. From the perspective of the internet and its users, Blockchain can facilitate the development of systems that are not only digital replacements for physical establishments but of entire pieces of data and information.  

For this reason, in spite of the skepticism regarding crypto-currencies, many public figures – actors, athletes, and celebrities from other fields of the profession – have taken a liking to them. And just like the other aspects of their lives, they let their fans know this as well on their social media platforms. Here are some of the popular names that have publicly shown their support for Blockchain.
