Keanu Reeves and Chad Stahelski gave a great interview to Wired. They talked mainly about the prophecies in John Wick and the future of digital technologies. Recall that Stahelski is a stuntman who helped the actor in stunts on the set of the legendary action movie.
The journalist asked the actors how they feel about the accidents in the movie “John Wick”. For example, to the fact that assassins use coins very similar to bitcoins. The first part was released in 2014, when BTC just appeared.
Stahelski joked that he and Keanu “take responsibility for this.” And also ironically over the fact that in films, cryptocurrency is always used by the characters of the criminal world.
Reeves, in turn, defended bitcoin. He believes that temporary difficulties and criticism towards cryptocurrency “will only make it better”:
“I think the principle, the ideas behind an independent currency are amazing. These are amazing tools for sharing and allocating resources. So, if we talk about cryptography or cryptocurrency volatility, it will only improve it from the point of view of protection.”
The actor also shared his opinion about the metaverses. He called them “control and manipulation systems.” He also criticized the Meta company, which wants to become a monopolist in this area.
“They behave as if they have created something unique. There are still other projects. Metaverses are wealth creation and they are opportunities”
Recall that earlier Keanu Reeves became a star of social networks because of a joke about NFT.
