Crypto community reacts to Barbie star saying Bitcoin talk exudes Ken energy
Australian 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 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.
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.
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.
