Bitcoin’s meteoritic rise over 2017 has put the cryptocurrency into the spotlight for the last several months. People are buying houses with it. Experts are warning that a crash is inevitable. Hackers are trying to steal it — and in some cases, becoming very successful. And of course, celebrities are getting on the Bitcoin bandwagon.

Mike Tyson

Tyson, a fellow boxing star with his own demons (he was once convicted of rape), has been trying to cash in on Bitcoin lately. His company Mike Tyson Bitcoin (yes, that’s what it’s called) offers a Bitcoin ATM and, more recently, wallets to store and trade the cryptocurrency. “In a few years from now Bitcoin and other digital currency are going to be a normal part of our monetary systems,” Tyson said in a statement for the app.

Roseanne Barr

The star and creative force behind the sitcom Roseanne, which is being revived, has become just as famous in recent years for her provocative political comments, especially on Twitter. In a tweet from a few years ago, she suggested that Bitcoin may help “end satanic ritual rule,” an apparent dig at the federal government.

Paris Hilton

Heiress of the Hilton empire and a former reality TV star, Paris earlier this year backed the ICO of LydianCoin, a cryptocurrency that happens to be run by a company whose CEO pleaded guilty to assaulting his girlfriend. “Looking forward to participating in the new @LydianCoinLtd Token!” Hilton wrote in a tweet, which also claimed that it was not an ad. The tweet has since been removed.
