Clubhouse is the newest goto app for celebrities and influencers apparently. Just like Instagram for rich kids, it is the IT-girl app of the moment which is seeing mentions in the New York Times, Vogue, Mashable and many others publications.

The app, which was launched in May 2020 and which officially has some 600,000 registered users, is highly popular with celebrities and influencers who wish to talk to each others outside of classic social media like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Venture capital investment

Popular and investable for the Californian techies means that the app of course was first launched with the Silicon Valley crowd. Clubhouse was valued at nearly $100 million after a round of investment led by Andreessen Horowitz, the private American venture capital firm, founded in 2009 by Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz.

The idea is that where Twitter is about texts, Instagram about pictures and Facebook about faces, Clubhouse is forged around audio.

Buzzing with VeChain

The company claims to have reinvented social media and some say that the invite-only setup make it into a class war again. According to its marketing tagline, Clubhouse is:

a new type of social product based on voice [that] allows people everywhere to talk, tell stories, develop ideas, deepen friendships, and meet interesting new people around the world.

Now, like for all other influencers and celebrities, the buzz of the moment seems to be crypto, and none other than David Gokhstein, founder and CEO of Gokhstein media, blurted out to his 250k followers over the weekend, that Clubhouse is abuzz with one particular altcoin for the moment, namely VeChain.

The small altcoin has been buzzing in 2021 indeed, and is up nearly 50% since the start of the year, thanks to news about pharmaceutical usage and more supply chain contracts.

The tweet was widely discussed on Reddit as well, where a commenter admitted that Clubhouse lets you speak to celebs and billionaires indeed, stating:

Funny, a guy I was playing poker with a couple of weeks ago was talking about this Clubhouse app he had been invited to. Was trying to explain it to us and how it was crazy he could listen and chat with billionaires. Next time I see him, I am going to ask him more about some of the things being said on there.

The VeChain price is currently down 6% for today.
