I knew it

He has went quiet for 2days, he need an attention and that's it. He makes everything about him. TOP G(Gaudy)

[bitLeap]

From a guy who once shilled shitcoins to his followers, that would later dump or rug pull like crazy, I won't be surprised if he used those profits to now buy Bitcoins. Ain't no way that is top G shit  Just another shark in the sea that took advantage of some of his gullible following and cashed out.

Andrew Tate as a crypto influencer who is always used as a shitcoin reference by his followers on x, that's what I see from him and a lot of shitcoin history he tweets. But fortunately I'm not too enthusiastic, because after all Andrew is an influncer who trapped many of his followers into the shitcoin abyss.
Buying Bitcoin that he did was a good way to lure before leading back to shitcoin.

[Obim34]

The bald man… lol
I used to follow the guy before he started shilling memecoins,had enough of his garbage last year so I unfollowed him.
One thing about him though, he does warn his followers about being greedy but he’s still a piece of shit.
He’s a fan of Bitcoin, just that he goes all in talking about altcoins and memecoins at large for attention and influence. He didn’t need to announce it but he did it for more attention… maybe..maybe he’s planning another rug..

We can have him as a mix of both promotion (Altcoin and Bitcoin)

I'm not up to date with his current media post, as at the time when i often come across his videos/posts, he speaks brilliance even when not related to Crypto or Bitcoin that is finance related which i approve.

Better off seeing people accept Bitcoin without criticizing, whether they side ways promote altcoins, followers are entitled to decide what they want and making proper research.

[BitMaxz]

That we should stop making criminals famous.

The guy is a misogynistic piss of shit wanted everywhere for human trafficking, he is involved in everything shady and has bribed Romanian authorities probably millions to keep the lid on everything he has done in that country. Seriously, we're making a hero out of a guy who has bought Bitcoin with the money he has made by enslaving girls and having them earn money 12 hours a day in front of a webcam?

I don't know about him till today. Who is Andrew Tate?

Have a read:
https://www.theguardian.com/news/2025/may/28/influencers-andrew-tate-tristan-to-face-charges-in-uk-cps-confirms

I didn't know that news. All the news I heard about him was positive and related to business and entrepreneurship, not negative like this one.
Human trafficking, rape, and other crimes—including his brother. Prosecutors had authorized 21 charges to both of them.
That's a bad influencer to be followed. I idolized him due to the motivational speech before, but right now he is a criminal, including his brother; they use their power for these things.

[coolcoinz]

I don't like nor trust these degenerate gamblers. Everything has to be loud and in your face with these guys. It's always fake though. Like he's making a video where he's buying something and the next day he's forced to sell it to pay for something else. Today he will show you he bought 50BTC, tomorrow he'll dump it all because his Bugatti needs new tires, or there's a video of him flying a helicopter to be made. None of the things he's doing should be trusted.

Those loud crickets are always the worst. To hell with their motivational videos or speeches because most of what they say, they never actual practiced it. All they thrive on is mostly crime and fraud.
Remember John McFee? The guy most of us liked back in the day, only for him to start advertising fake ICOs and tokens?

[Smartvirus]

It's true. He posted to his followers on Telegram a few days ago that he was going to buy 50 BTC to buy the dip. Today he acquired them.

This goes to show Tate as not just being a societal figure but, a real business mogul which many see him to be. Having to acquire 50 BTC at this time when Bitcoin dumped only after hitting an ATH a couple of weeks ago was really clever.

Tate is a media personality and the fact that, he didn’t just broadcast it to his followers on Telegram but, took the information to other social media space and lead by example is a good one. Not just for Tate but, those who follow him.

If there are those that are waiting on Bitcoin to further dip might as well miss a good chance to buy in at a low.

What do you guys think about this? Obviously don't just stand there and talk about it - hopefully you are buying some too.

I don't believe in this until Tate posts verified data about the transaction on the blockchain.
Why is Andrew Tate not in prison? Did he use his "pimp money" to buy BTC(if he ever bought any BTC to begin with)?
Why should we even care about Andrew Tate buying BTC or shitcoins? He can do whatever he wants with his money(assuming that those money were acquired with legal activities). Selling shitty online courses and memberships is legal(despite being really sketchy).
Why didn't he bought BTC 5 years ago or 10 years ago? I can guess that he is one of the late Bitcoin believers.

[rdbase]

I heard this news, but it seems the source I read seems fake because it's said that Andrew will buy 150 BTC at a dip price.
The weird part is he said last October that BTC will drop to $26k (source below).

That's why I don't trust big influencers and news or anything they say.
I don't think there's a huge impact of telling people that you are going to buy 50 BTC. It won't cover how huge the outflow from the past few weeks was.

Seen this video when it was released by him last month and was saying this guy doesn't believe in bitcoin or it's fundamentals one bit.
He is only interested in making money from it and if it dips below $26k he will just laugh and buy more.
Somebody mentioned about the daddy coin he created so he is using cryptocurrency for his own benefit in pump his newly created altcoin and scam all his investors.
That is just the sort of individual he truly is from this influencer background many have witnessed in the past.

Does he need to tell everyone that he bought Bitcoin? He once nursed the idea of launching his own crypto token, which he claimed would be backed by $100 million of his personal income. He later shelved the idea when he received some backlash. Most of these influencers used Bitcoin as a smokescreen to promote their ulterior motive. He is facing allegations of being a human trafficker, he's not a good figure to promote Bitcoin.

The best time to buy Bitcoin is when you can afford it. The coin might not drop to the price you want. I agree with you.

[cr1776]

I am curious why we care what he says?  Maybe there is a reason, but I don't know it.

So what should we do after reading this news? Rejoice that someone bought a pack of bitcoins and now everyone else should immediately start buying it too? No one cares, because everyone has their own wallet. Anyone who intended to buy bitcoin will do so regardless of such news. And anyone who only talks about their intention to buy bitcoin will continue in the same vein.

This news doesn't affect anything (well, okay, Andrew Tate did give bitcoin a little publicity among his fans), other than providing another opportunity to gossip and speculate.

I'm interested in the "technical" part of this transaction: how was such a significant purchase made? Did Tate simply show up with a "suitcase of money" to some exchange and exchange it for bitcoin? Or did he buy it from an early BTC-miner (remember when the reward for each mined block was exactly 50BTC?)?

[SatoPrincess]

In 2024, Andrew Tate videos were sure to pop up on my feed whether you liked his videos or not. Never quite understood how he did that. He has since grown into a successful influencer and salesman. Last I heard from Tate, he was selling an online course on how to get rich off the internet. Whether the Tate brothers buy bitcoin or not, it doesn’t change anything.

[Lucius]

I am curious why we care what he says?  Maybe there is a reason, but I don't know it.

I'm honestly more interested in what the lady in the shop who sells bread thinks about something than what this swindler thinks about anything. But it's obviously important to some, otherwise topics like this wouldn't exist, right?

[PrivacyG]

If you have not learned the most important lesson in Cryptocurrencies yet then it may be time to do it now.  Online personalities lie a LOT, fake their lives a LOT and will test your brains out to see if they can manipulate things the way they want to.

Considering the video he posted short before he purchased 50 Bitcoin, in my opinion he tested his audience out to see if he can replicate what Musk and Trump have done.  Because no thing is better than being able to crash the Market for a little bit right before purchasing some Bitcoin for your self.  And considering his past behavior, if he was able to crash it before hand then he would have most probably followed up with a video laughing at 'weak idiots'.

Another millionaire is purchasing Bitcoin.  Good.  Now move on with your life, there are better things to be enthusiastic about.

[lodocus]

Andrew Tate is nothing more than a modern con artist and charlatan who uses the fame he has gained over the past few years to sell his followers a fantasy. This man has repeatedly told people to buy shitcoins just to scam a few more suckers, and he continues to do so. I am certain that most of the news stories about him are fabricated and paid for by him.

People like this do more harm than good to Bitcoin and crypto. They scam and drive away people who are interested in these things.

Too bad a lot of followers don’t bother to do that(research), and that’s why we keep seeing people get scammed(aka rugged) from time to time..
Research is a myth for them… they just blindly follow whatever their influencer spills out .
Besides, what research most of them already know what they’re getting into and they understand the risk. Sometimes it’s just greed that takes them out..although, nmw there will always be victims.

What’s the problem in Tate having to announce he’s plans to buying Bitcoin, actually going ahead to buy and went public on it. It’s normal for these public figures and to be fair, Microstrategy does this all the time so, why can’t Tate?
Don’t forget, these are internet sensation individuals that have got several means to earn online, even the reactions he would generate from going public is huge plus for him so why shouldn’t he…

It doesn’t matter what he’s charged with, he only invested in Bitcoin and went public on it. You can’t have a take other than that.

Agreed. Motivational speeches and BS. He was prosecuted with multiple different charges, and we're not talking about minor allegations, human trafficking, rape, harm and several others. He was also promoting shitcoins to "help" his followers, but in reality, he was only profiting from it. His whole persona is a hypocrisy, and him purchasing Bitcoin, if he actually did, is a whole publicity stunt. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a lie or he sold it the very next day. He has disappeared from most social networks, and you barely even hear his name anymore.

[Vaculin]

If it's true, that's good for him. Buying bitcoin whether the price is on top or in its bottom will always be a good buy. However, just my serious thought about this, Tate is a big influencer so he could be doing things like this just to create hype, or just to make his name creates bigger impact by riding what is mostly talked about in the social media. But either way, if this is true, he will make massive profits in the future. But if this is a big lie, he could be missing the biggest opportunity then while bitcoin price is still not on  his new all time high.
