Voodoo Money Joke By Kevin Hart Made Bitcoin Reach New Highs

Comedian Kevin Hart made a joke during a Muscular Dystrophy Association event that Bitcoin is voodoo money with the rest of the cryptocurrencies. After he made the joke, the price of the number one cryptocurrency reached new highs as of late of $13,300 as we can read in today’s bitcoin latest news.

The comedian called Bitcoin and Ethereum “voodoo money” during the Muscular Dystrophy Association telethon and during the event, he was asked whether the charity accepted Bitcoin or ETH or other cryptocurrencies. He responded by calling them “Voodoo money” before adding that the charity accepts donations. Comedian Kevin Hart called these cryptocurrencies voodoo money but later said that he will accept them while hosting the charity fundraiser. Hart hosted the Muscular Dystrophy Association’s Telethon which is a fundraiser for children with muscular dystrophy for the first time yesterday. During the Livestream, Hart was asked by actor Jay Ellis whether the charity will accept cryptocurrencies to which he responded:

 “I don’t take voodoo money. We don’t take the voodoo. So if you’re out here trying to give us the voodoo, we don’t…”

Hart was then interrupted and said:

 “What? We do take the voodoo? I’ve been told we do actually take cryptocurrency. I’ve been told it’s a legitimate investment. Yes, Jay, we take it.”

The comedian who was named as a defendant in a scam ICO case went on to joke around with other celebrities like Michael B. Jordan, Jack Black, and Eva Longoria during the two-hour event. This is not the first time Bitcoin receives a celebrity shout out. The rapper Kanye West said during the Joe Rogan podcast that the “bitcoin guys” are people who really have “a perspective on what the true liberation of America and humanity will be.”

Bitcoin movements haven’t hurt the coin’s price and today the biggest coin by market cap reached a new high of $13,329 which is the highest level seen since January 2019. As reported previously, Bitcoin’s price is trading nicely above the $13,000 resistance zone against the US dollar and the price is showing positive signs so it will likely gear up more upsides above the $13,500 level. Bitcoin targets fresh highs as the bulls successfully cleared the $12,800 and $13,000 resistance level. The price is now trading nicely above the $13,000 level and the 100 simple moving average.
