T.J. Miller on Hollywood's Bitcoin Blind Spot, Celebrity vs Wealth and Why There's No Second Best

Natalie Brunell is joined by actor and comedian T.J. Miller in this hilarious and thought-provoking episode of Coin Stories to discuss Bitcoin. T.J. isn’t afraid to challenge the mainstream Hollywood consensus, which continues to overlook the most important digital asset and monetary network in the world.

Known for his roles in "Silicon Valley," "Deadpool," and a string of blockbuster comedies, T.J. brings his unique perspective on the intersection of Bitcoin and the entertainment industry (or rather, the lack thereof).

Topics discussed include:
- How he came to learn about Bitcoin
- Being married to a Bitcoin maxi
- T.J.’s friendship with the Winklevoss twins, Michael Saylor, and other prominent Bitcoiners
- Why other celebrities haven’t adopted Bitcoin
- The hurdle of dedicating 50+ hours to learn about Bitcoin
- How broken money/fiat has impacted Hollywood and filmmaking

This episode is packed with laughs, insights, and unexpected Bitcoin wisdom.

Guest Bio: T.J. Miller is an American actor and comedian, known for his roles in the HBO series "Silicon Valley" and the Marvel films "Deadpool" and "X-Men: Apocalypse". He has also gained attention for his interest in and investment in cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin. And he's one of the featured speakers at Bitcoin 2025 Las Vegas in May.
