Ciaran Lyons2 hours agoCrypto community reacts to Barbie star saying Bitcoin talk exudes Ken energyMichael Saylor, Layah Heilpern and Girl Gone Crypto were among those in the crypto community that took an interest in what Australian actress Margot Robbie had to say about Bitcoin.1974 Total views26 Total sharesListen to article 0:00NewsJoin us on social networksAustralian actress Margot Robbie, who plays the lead role in the new Barbie movie, has caused a stir within the crypto community after stating that talking about Bitcoin (BTC) reflects similar traits to Barbie’s companion, Ken.


In the last 24 hours, the crypto community on X (Twitter), including MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor and social media influencer Layah Heilpern, had a mixed response to Robbie’s statement about Bitcoin in an interview with Fandango on June 22.#Bitcoin is Big Ken Energy. pic.twitter.com/ExFOGXsuJ9— Michael Saylor⚡️ (@saylor) July 28, 2023


Robbie revealed that every time she overheard her husband, Tom Ackerley, and television producer, David Heyman, discussing Bitcoin on set, it brought to mind the traits of Ken, the fictional co-star character in Barbie, played by Ryan Gosling.“When David and Tom would start talking about Bitcoin or something, Gretta and I would be like, you’re being such Kens!”


Along with Saylor declaring that Bitcoin is, in fact, “Big Ken Energy,” several other prominent figures in the crypto industry shared their thoughts on Robbie’s comments.

Crypto influencer Lea Thompson, better known to her 225,000 Twitter followers as Girl Gone Crypto, stated that she is “so bullish” after hearing Robbie talk about Bitcoin.Bitcoiners last week: yah haven't seen the Barbie movie, whatever, looks dumb

Meanwhile, Layah Heilpern perceived Robbie’s remarks differently, suggesting that she interpreted it as an insult toward men who talk about Bitcoin.


On July 30, Heilpern explained to her 621,400 Twitter followers that Robbie implied male Bitcoin enthusiasts are “weak and pathetic.”When Margot Robbie said you’re a Ken if talk #bitcoin

However, Mark Travers, lead psychologist at Awake Therapy, suggested that having Ken’s energy could be a sign of someone who is selfless and can adapt to different situations.


Travers stated in a July 13 Forbes report that the character of Ken challenges traditional gender stereotypes.


“In a universe which revolves around Barbie, Ken has only a supportive role to play, and he plays it gladly,” Travers stated, adding:“Barbie is and comes before everything, we see male counterpart Ken relegated to the uni-dimensional and purely aesthetic role that women have often been confined to in the past, in a flippant and parody-like manner.”


Robbie stated in the interview that it is hard to define what makes a Ken or what gives off Ken energy, as it can be subjective. 


“It is not something you can define; it is just something you can sense,” Robbie stated.


With a sense of optimism, Steven Lubka, a managing director at Swan Bitcoin, perceived Robbie’s comment as a positive for the crypto community. 


Lubka told his 20,200 Twitter followers on July 29 that “we are so back.“Barbie said we are all Ken's

Robbie’s comments on Bitcoin were brief and neutral, taking place as there are ongoing legal actions against celebrities who have recently promoted crypto.


Most recently, NBA Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler sought to be removed from a $1 billion class-action lawsuit alleging the promotion of unregistered securities by cryptocurrency exchange Binance.


In a July 24 filing, Butler’s lawyers argued that the tweets he appeared in did not promote the named securities, and, therefore, could not have helped promote them. 


Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, as well as YouTubers Ben Armstrong (BitBoy Crypto) and Graham Stephan, are also challenging similar allegations in the same lawsuit.
