Kardashian West bets with bitcoin
Reality television star Kim Kardashian West used bitcoin as her payment method in a charity poker night in Los Angeles.
Together with her sisters Khloé Kardashian, Kendall Jenner Kardashian and her mother Kris Jenner, West hosted a table at the “If Only” Texas Hold’em Charity Poker night on Sunday to raise funds for City of Hope, a not-for-profit clinical research and treatment centre for cancer.
Via Instagram, through which she has 114 million followers, Kardashian West posted a picture depicting a bet with bitcoin.
Given her wide following, the endorsement of bitcoin appears to be significant, in celebrity terms at least.
