Kardashian, for example, has more than 250 million followers on Instagram. Additionally, these followers are usually hard-wired to trust the opinions of celebrities, however uneducated they might sound.But, celebrities are also prisoners of the court of public opinion. Any PR gaffe on their part could easily crash and burn a crypto project.
