"There's one thing I do not know about now, that I think everyone is learning, it's Bitcoin. Who knows about Bitcoin? Who can explain what Bitcoin is? Liars Nobody knows how it works. Nobody, "said presenter Ellen DeGeneres, 60, incredulously during the program that bears her name, and of which she is an anchor.

The Ellen DeGeneres Show is enjoying its fifteenth year as a daily entertainment talk show. And with more than 2,500 episodes to its credit, the program distributed by Warner Brothers Television has accumulated 59 Daytime Emmy Awards, eclipsing the powerful Oprah.

Ellen is so good that Telepictures signed the program until 2020, even launching a game show based on segments of the DeGeneres program, and of which she will also be the host.

"Everyone is talking about Bitcoin, (but) no one understands," continued Ms. DeGeneres. "It's like a plot twist in a confusing movie. When you are watching a movie and your friends act like they know what is happening, and you think: 'Yes, me too!', But in reality you think: 'What the hell is ...? I have no idea!'.

All I know is that the Bitcoin is worth twenty thousand dollars or nothing, that's what I know. It's like a digital Antiques Roadshow. You're standing in line and you have no idea how much you have until you get there. "

Although now her daily audience is around 3 million, Ms. DeGeneres has earned her place among the greats of comedy. She started in the 1980s as a rather weird bird, a stand-up comedian.

In the 90s he had the opportunity in two comedies of situations, none of which was as good as his current work, but he forged new ground by publicly announcing his sexual orientation.

In 2008 he married his girlfriend Portia de Rossi. Now she is considered a leading advocate for sexual minorities. She is also famous for her voice work at the Pixar franchises Finding Nemo and Finding Dory, and for being an Emmy, Grammy host, plus Academy Awards. She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Obama.

"Economy" Ellen

The modest comedian explained: But they did not call me 'Ellen Economics' in high school for nothing. They called me that because I failed in economics. So I did a little research, and I'm going, to the best of my ability, to explain how Bitcoin works.

Okay, first, the article I read said that Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency. Now, to be honest, I do not know what that means. But this is what I am going to do. I will explain it and I think we will all understand it.

Imagine that Bitcoin is a goat. Now, the goat is adorable, right? Everyone agrees that it is adorable. And you want to hold her, and you want to caress her, right? But you can not, because it is not there. It does not exist, except on the Internet, right there ... that's how Bitcoin is a digital currency, and an image of a baby goat appeared on a large screen behind it.

"You're probably thinking: 'Ellen, if I can not physically touch him, where do I keep my Bitcoin? In a digital wallet? Which is a curious idea, but true. You keep it in a digital wallet, okay, "said Ms. DeGeneres, showing images of the popular Toast wallet.

"And the digital wallet can be applications on your phone, or small hard drives like this," he explained, and what appears to be a cold storage product (offline) from Ledger flashes on the same screen.

"Which is a very good idea, because they would not feel safe with the savings of their lives on a piece of plastic that could get into the washing machine. And it sounds like a Jimmy Kimmel joke, but it's not. A digital wallet contains all your bitcoins, unlike your real wallet, which contains receipts and punch cards to take Jamba Juice for free. "

Joking is certainly welcome in the Bitcoin space, especially after the last few months.Although its price is recovered, many bitcoiners began to wonder what would be of the asset. It would be difficult to overcome the success of 2017.

However, if the acceptance and popular recognition by celebrities like 50 Cent, Jay-Z and now Ellen are an indication, the ecosystem could be about to start another crazy race to the top.
