The video first starts out with the star calling bitcoin a new kind of money. Then explaining that the bitcoin in users’ wallets could not be controlled by anyone. Likening bitcoin to an untamable wild stallion.
“While the cash in your wallet is issued and regulated by governments, bitcoin is a cryptocurrency. Like a wild stallion, it can’t be controlled by anyone. That means that no one person or organization is to decide how much of it is used, how much of it is in circulation, or what it’s worth.”
Megan Thee Stallion then went on to explain why bitcoin is so valuable. She touched on scarcity and security. Explaining that the blockchain worked to make the cryptocurrency secure.
Reaching Millions With Bitcoin
Megan Thee Stallion has an Instagram following of 24.2 million. With 8.8 million followers on Facebook. And 6.4 million followers on Twitter. Combined, this gives the star a reach of almost 40 million followers. And a good percentage of these followers would not have heard about bitcoin. Or if they have, they still do not understand it. And that is the reason for making the video.
