Bitcoin supporter TJ Miller: "The 50-hour rule" is the reason celebrities stay away from Bitcoin (BTC)

Comedian and actor TJ Miller stated that the average person only needs a little over two days to understand Bitcoin (BTC). However, when asked why more celebrities do not become Bitcoin supporters, he said that most people simply refuse to sit down and learn again.

"It is very difficult for people to continue learning after graduation, regardless of their level of education," Miller told Natalie Brunell on the Coin Stories program that aired on April 25. Miller stated that understanding Bitcoin requires "about 50 hours of study time."

"So when you tell someone it takes 50 hours to understand this, they will say 'Oh, I don't want to learn it,'" he said. "They can't even finish a Netflix series, not even a series like 'The White Lotus' which only takes 7 hours to watch," he added.

Miller stated that accepting Bitcoin requires a "radical shift in thinking," which involves not just money or the internet, but a change in lifestyle—this is also why few Hollywood celebrities become extreme supporters of Bitcoin.

"Hollywood only rewards those who follow the rules."

At a Bitcoin lunch hosted by cryptocurrency entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano, Miller introduced himself as "the only celebrity Bitcoin supporter" to his knowledge.

"I really can't think of anyone else," Miller said. Although there are not many celebrities publicly active in the Bitcoin community, many celebrities have launched their own meme coins in recent years, including Iggy Azalea, Caitlyn Jenner, and Hailey Welch, who goes by the nickname "Hawk Tuah."

However, Miller stated that he has been working hard to educate people about Bitcoin. He said that when Bitcoin was trading between $8,000 and $12,000, he advised his friends to "invest $1,000 in Bitcoin."

Miller believes that at some point in the future, Hollywood will definitely make a movie about the Bitcoin revolution.

"But this will be interesting because this revolution is not something that happens overnight," he said. "This is not something that occurs within 3 years, and it's still ongoing even after 10 years, so it will be interesting to see how they connect these stories together," he added.

Cointelegraph reporter Gareth Jenkinson recently interviewed TJ Miller, and it was clear from the interview that his enthusiasm for Bitcoin goes beyond surface-level interest. He hopes to use his influence to educate and inspire others to take Bitcoin seriously.

"You can see that I am passionate about this. So what I want to do is... become someone who can enhance cultural awareness, spread awareness, and be a trusted name and face in the Bitcoin community, hoping to attract more people to join," Miller said.
