While many celebrities have stepped into crypto through flashy projects, comedian and actor TJ Miller has stayed focused on Bitcoin BTC $89,288.90 .

In a conversation dated April 22 with Natalie Brunell on the Coin Stories podcast, Miller explained why more famous names have not seriously embraced Bitcoin.

He believes the biggest reason is simple: learning about Bitcoin takes real effort. According to Miller, it takes "about 50 hours of study" to properly understand it. However, convincing people, especially celebrities, to commit that much time is difficult.

Miller believes that learning about Bitcoin means changing the way you look at life, not just money or technology. In his view, Hollywood does not encourage people to think differently, which is a reason why few entertainers have shown real interest in Bitcoin.

At a Bitcoin lunch hosted by Anthony Pompliano, Miller introduced himself as "the only celebrity that is a Bitcoiner". While some celebrities have gotten involved with cryptocurrency by launching meme coins—like Iggy Azalea, Caitlyn Jenner, and Hailey Welch (“Hawk Tuah”)—Miller sees a big difference between promoting coins for attention and truly understanding Bitcoin.

He also shared that he had been encouraging people to invest in Bitcoin years ago, back when the price was between $8,000 and $12,000. At the time, he told friends to "just put $1,000 into Bitcoin", hoping they would start learning through experience.

Bitcoin has recently shown signs that it can serve as a safe place for value during periods of market stress, according to New York Digital Investment Group (NYDIG). What did Greg Cipolaro, head of research at NYDIG, say about it? Read the full story.
