Being influential comes with a lot of responsibilities due to the thousands or millions that look up to you. But what do you do when massive losses are suffered as a result of commanding a large following?

This is the story of Celeste Barber, a celebrated media personality and Australian comedian.

Barber apparently endorsed Bitcoin Revolution and urged her fans to invest in the platform that later turned out to be a fraud.

Several questions have been asked and answered, but the elephant in the room is whether she endorsed the platform as claimed.

Sit up as we embark on finding the truth about a puzzle that has gone unsolved for months now.

Who exactly is Celeste Barber?

Celeste Barber is an Australian born and raised trained actor, writer, and comedian. The 37-year old celebrity is a mum of 4 and has been working in the entertainment industry for more than a decade now.

Barber has been at the centre of several remarkable TV shows. One of the films she featured in, Burke and Wills, was a finalist at the 2006 Tribecca Film Festival. But most people know her as paramedic Bree Matthews on All Saints and a performer/sketch writer on The Matty Johns Show

In all the years of her media and writing career, she has charmed her way into the hearts of many, commanding more than 7 million Instagram Followers.

There isn’t much public information on her business interests but a recent private valuation pegged her Net Worth at about £44 million, according to Forbes.

Bitcoin Revolution

Just as the name suggests, this platform revolutionised the way Bitcoin is traded. With its introduction in 2017, investors are now able to trade Bitcoin without putting in a lot of work. Well, you heard it right; according to the platform, if you’ve been dreading to invest in the cryptocurrency markets due to lack of knowledge or time, the app is definitely for you.

Bitcoin Revolution allows for automated trading of Bitcoin, using an investor’s available balance. For instance, if you have an account balance of  £500 and wish to invest in Bitcoin, all you have to do is set the ‘auto-trade’ function and the rest is taken care of by the app’s robot.

The app contains an algorithm that analyses and engages in strategic trades, earning investors up to 20% daily returns on placements, Bitcoin Revolution claims.

Did Celeste Barber endorse Bitcoin Revolution?

Barber is said to have endorsed Bitcoin Revolution and invested over £80,000. The platforms making the claims also stated that the celebrity has already received returns of over  £80 million from the app. 

However, from our investigation, we found no credible evidence of Barber investing in Bitcoin Revolution, Bitcoin, or any other crypto-associated investments.

Why the rumour has attracted a lot of attention

Barber has undoubtedly been the talk of the town following news of her alleged involvement in several Bitcoin scandals. While the comedian may have dismissed the claims and cautioned her fan base, the story seems not to be dying down any time soon.

Most of the online publications are however associated with gossip and fake new sites operated by internet marketers who are perhaps keen on earning signup commissions from directing people to Bitcoin Revolution.

Since no credible source links the celebrity to the scam, we were convinced beyond any reasonable doubt that Barber was never involved in any of the alleged Bitcoin dealings and as such, the news ought to be treated as fake.

Does that mean Bitcoin Revolution is a scam?

Possibly not, it would be too early to convict the platform without sufficiently understanding its workings. 

We have reviewed the app in detail to try and establish various aspects about it including its background, how it works, it's legitimacy, and more.  Head over to the review to find out what no one else seems to be telling you about Bitcoin Revolution.
