A number of those reasons mentioned Bitcoin\u2019s viability as a hedge against populism and geopolitical unrest. Celebrities Love Crypto, Right? As aforementioned, Hawk&#8217;s tacit statement of support for Bitcoin and its ilk marks the latest case of celebrities getting their hands dirty with cryptocurrency. In the sports world, Hawk joins NFL player Russell Okung and UFC fighter Ben Askren as professional athletes-turned-crypto &#8216;rookies&#8217; As reported by NewsBTC previously, however, the aforementioned sportsmen are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to celebrities in the crypto space.
