Among the members of the cryptocurrency community who were interested in what Australian actress Margot Robbie had to say about Bitcoin were Michael Saylor, Layah Heilpern, and Girl Gone Crypto.
Margot Robbie, an Australian actress who plays the title character in the next Barbie film, caused a sensation when she said that discussing Bitcoin reveals characteristics similar to those of Ken, Barbie’s companion.
The crypto community on X (Twitter), which includes MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor and social media personality Layah Heilpern, has had varying reactions to Robbie’s remarks about Bitcoin in an interview with Fandango on June 22 during the past 24 hours.
When Robbie overheard her husband, Tom Ackerley, and television producer, David Heyman, talking about Bitcoin on the set, it reminded her of Ken, the fictional co-star character portrayed by Ryan Gosling in the film Barbie.
Gretta and I would say, “You’re being such Kens!” whenever David and Tom would bring up Bitcoin or another topic.
In addition to Saylor claiming that Bitcoin is in fact “Big Ken Energy,” a number of other well-known personalities in the cryptocurrency sector commented on Robbie’s remarks.

Lea Thompson, a crypto influencer best known by her Twitter handle Girl Gone Crypto and her 225,000 followers, declared that after hearing Robbie discuss Bitcoin, she is “so bullish.”
Layah Heilpern, on the other hand, apparently took Robbie’s comments in a different light and saw them as an insult to guys who discuss Bitcoin.
On July 30, Heilpern informed her 621,400 Twitter followers of Robbie’s suggested characterization of male Bitcoin aficionados as “weak and pathetic.”
Ken’s energy, according to Mark Travers, chief psychologist at Awake Therapy, could be an indication of someone who is selfless and versatile.
Travers claimed that Ken breaks conventional gender norms in a Forbes article on July 13.
Travers said, “In a world where Barbie rules, Ken has only a supportive function to perform, and he plays it willingly.
Barbie is and comes before everything, and in a flippant and parodic way, we see our male counterpart Ken condemned to the one-dimensional and simply aesthetic role that women have frequently been confined to in the past.
According to Robbie, defining what constitutes a Ken or what emanates Ken energy can be difficult because it might be arbitrary.
Robbie said, “It’s not anything you can define; it’s just something you can sense.
Steven Lubka, managing director at Swan Bitcoin, saw Robbie’s remark as a plus for the crypto community and expressed excitement.
On July 29, Lubka tweeted to his 20,200 followers, “We are so back.”
Robbie’s remarks on Bitcoin were succinct and uninstigating, coming amid continuous legal efforts against public figures who have recently endorsed cryptocurrency.
Most recently, NBA Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler asked to be dropped from a $1 billion class-action lawsuit alleging cryptocurrency exchange Binance promoted unregistered securities.
Butler’s attorneys said in a filing dated July 24 that the tweets in which Butler was mentioned did not promote the cited securities and, as a result, could not have assisted in their promotion.
Similar accusations are being disputed in the same lawsuit by YouTube stars Ben Armstrong (BitBoy Crypto), Graham Stephan, and Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao.
