One of the world’s most popular talk show stars, Ellen DeGeneres, seems to be ‘down with’ Bitcoin, as she said in her latest episode. Ellen used her comedic talent to describe what Bitcoin actually is and compared it to a goat. She talked about the BTC price and used her ability to communicate with everyone in order to explain how she ended up being a fan of Bitcoin.
It’s true that Bitcoin spreads like wildfire in the mainstream. Ellen triggered an even bigger rise and has the right ability to tap into new audiences. One tweet from here on the Bitcoin situation got closer to half-a-million hits which is nothing compared to her wide following of 77 million.

Meanwhile, the Ellen Show gets around 3 million viewers per episode and is currently in its 15th run. This raises the Bitcoin profile even higher and proves that even though ‘everyone’ knows what cryptocurrencies are, the penetration is still not there.
In her opening monologue, Ellen tried to describe Bitcoin using the following words:
“Nobody knows how it works, nobody. Everybody’s talking about bitcoin; nobody understands it. All I know is that bitcoin is either worth $20,000 or nothing,”
Ellen also talked about the decentralized nature of Bitcoin, e-wallets (she called them purses) and the current price of the leading cryptocurrency. She didn’t endorse any ICO and didn’t feature any exchange.
