Game of Thrones actress Maisie Williams, celebrated for her role as Arya Stark, posed a question to her massive Twitter audience about diving into Bitcoin. With nearly 2.7 million followers watching, she launched a poll with a straightforward inquiry: "Should I go long on bitcoin?" Within just 12 hours, the survey had attracted 749,290 responses, and the clock hadn't stopped running—nine or more hours remained on the poll at the time of reporting. The community split nearly evenly: 48 percent backed the investment thesis while 52 percent advised against it.
The tweet sparked a flurry of reactions from notable figures across the crypto and tech worlds. Tesla boss Elon Musk jumped into the conversation early, offering a playful quip with a Witcher reference: "Toss a bitcoin to ur Witcher." Williams fired back with her own jest, inquiring into the status of Blue Origin.
Investment professional Mike Novogratz, who formerly managed a hedge fund, voiced strong enthusiasm. His response was emphatic: "Duh!!" He elaborated by sharing his recent activity—acquiring more BTC at the $15,800 level—and laid out his vision: the asset will reach $20,000, then eventually $65,000. According to Novogratz, network effects have solidified the market momentum, new capital keeps flowing in, and available supply remains constrained. "It's an easier trade here than at 11k. So YES, buy it," he concluded.
Support also came from podcast host Peter McCormack, while the team behind Blockfolio, the cryptocurrency portfolio tracking platform, chimed in favorably. Barry Silbert, heading Grayscale Investments, couldn't pass up a chance to promote his firm with a clever wordplay about the fictional Grey scale condition from the show itself: "you should check out @Grayscale (the other one)."
Not all responses were positive. Certain Twitter participants raised environmental concerns, characterizing Bitcoin as "bad for the planet." Additional replies displayed general bewilderment about the topic.
The broader crypto sector has witnessed accelerating adoption among celebrities and prominent business figures during 2020. Hip-hop artist and songwriter Logic, whose real name is Sir Robert Bryson Hall II, disclosed plans to enter the cryptocurrency space following conversations with his management team. Whether Williams follows through remains uncertain, but her social media engagement has likely planted seeds of curiosity among her massive follower base.
