You guys are focusing on the wrong things.
I don't give a shit which celeb does what.
If a celeb talks about blackcoin, great, but I don't want to hear about us paying them to do it. It's fucking retarded and cheapens blackcoin.
I care if a company adopts blackcoin for payment. << If you care about this coin talk to your friends/family about cryptos.
Also charities are fine, but they will never be officially endorsed. Blackcoin is a CURRENCY, not a catch all for charitys so we can pump our coin. Its bullshit.
You are looking at it all wrong. There is a reason why Capital One and other card companies use celebrities, it creates brand awareness. BlackCoin currently has two challenges, brand awareness and usability. We have to work on both at the same time. No sense being accepted everywhere if no one knows we exist. What a celebrity brings to the table is a fan following. "If XYZ celeb says this product is good it must be good". It also give the brand more credibility.
