Kim Kardashian now owns her first bitcoin in physical form. The global superstar and social media personality got her bitcoin at the Hold’em poker tournament which held on July 29th, 2018. The tournament was the City of Hope, a cancer and diabetes research and treatment center first annual Poker Tournament in Los Angeles. Kim was presented her first 1 BTC by digital currency educator and tech entrepreneur Matthew Roszak.
The event was hosted by philanthropists Irving and Shelli Azoff in Los Angeles and Kim Kardashian shared the historic moment with her instagram 114 million followers saying, “We’ve moved onto Bitcoin!” Kim whose net worth is well over a quarter billion was pictured with Mr. Roszak holding a physical representation of the coin.
Kim is not the first person to be associated with Bitcoin in her circle of friends and family. Her husband Kanye West was associated with a cryptocurrency that didn’t gain limelight. Also, her childhood friend and social figure Paris Hilton endorse a coin briefly before it died out.
It seems however, that a Kardashian coin might be coming out as Roszak spoke about the Kardashians at a recent presentation at a conference of technology and entertainment,Tedx San Francisco. While presenting Kim with the physical representation of the Bitcoin which he tagged KardashianCoin, he spoke about artist tokenizing and creating their own economy. “Every brand, every artist, every tribe, can tokenize their economy,” he said. He also believes in incentivisation saying,“That’s a big change for investors, for participants and developers that want to reimagine certain layers of the Internet…Bitcoin is one of the greatest inventions of our time.”
