Stephen Curry Gets \u2018Advice\u2019 From Crypto Twitter<\/h2>\n

Well known athletes, celebrities, and musicians worldwide have been getting into digital currencies and asking fans for pointers. Recently, Bitcoin.com News reported<\/a> on the American rapper Busta Rhymes asking about cryptocurrencies and whether or not he should \u201cbuy in.\u201d Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson asked<\/a> his fans whether they preferred bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) or ethereum (ETH<\/a>). The \u201cLegally Blonde\u201d star, actress Reese Witherspoon, told<\/a> her 2.9 million Twitter followers that she just bought ethereum. Witherspoon said:<\/p>\n

Just bought my first ETH<\/a>. Let\u2019s do this #cryptotwitter<\/p>\n

Now the star point guard for the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry<\/a>, has tweeted about cryptocurrencies and is looking for advice. \u201cJust getting started in the crypto game\u2026 y\u2019all got any advice?\u201d Curry asked<\/a> on September 7. Of course, Curry got a lot of responses from crypto supporters shilling their favorite blockchain-based assets. One person said he should ignore what people on crypto Twitter say. \u201cYes. Ignore all Twitter crypto advice,\u201d the person replied<\/a> to Curry. A number of others used the opportunity<\/a> to ask the Golden State Warriors star for an interview about crypto.<\/p>\n

Microstrategy CEO Speaks Up, Tribalistic Crypto Comments and Shilling Taint Conversation<\/h2>\n

Microstrategy\u2019s CEO Michael Saylor told<\/a> Curry to direct message him if he needed. \u201cSteph, I spent more than a thousand hours considering this question and chose bitcoin,\u201d Saylor said. \u201cSo far, I have purchased more than $3 billion in BTC<\/a> because I think it\u2019s the future of digital property. I have posted tons of free bitcoin education on hope.com (or DM me).\u201d Alongside commentary of people telling Curry why he should buy this or that crypto asset, bitcoin maximalists \u2014 as per usual \u2014 and those who support a variety of alternative blockchains, had to throw in tribalistic shade comments and argue in Curry\u2019s Twitter thread.<\/p>\n

The finance writer Frances Coppola said<\/a> \u201cdon\u2019t\u201d to Curry\u2019s tweet and the Human Rights Foundation\u2019s Alex Gladstein remarked<\/a>: \u201cConsider making small gifts in Bitcoin to charities that you care about and support with the condition that they can\u2019t spend it for 4 years.\u201d Numerous people commented on the fact that Curry had a Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) non-fungible token (NFT) as his Twitter profile picture. While some loved the BAYC profile pic, others showed distaste for the NFT picture.<\/p>\n

\u201cTake the silly ape off your profile, it\u2019s like waving around and idiot flag,\u201d the well-known bitcoin artist dubbed \u2018Fractal Encrypt\u2019 wrote<\/a>. \u201cNext do intense research and learn about the Bitcoin vs. sh**coin dichotomy,\u201d the artist added. In contrast to comments like that, NFT fans shilled their favorite BAYC NFTs and told the professional basketball player to look into other NFT collections.<\/p>\n

With all the tribalism, the shilling of coins and different NFT collections, probably the best advice Stephen Curry got from Twitter was to \u201cIgnore all Twitter crypto advice.\u201d At the time of writing, that specific reply to Curry has close to 20,000 likes and hundreds of retweets.<\/p>\n
