American actress Roseanne Barr has tweeted cryptic support for Bitcoin.

Already controversial for her support of the Occupy movement, and calling for the beheading of bankers, Roseanne Barr seems to be backing Bitcoin as the perfect currency for trading after the apocalypse. While many celebrities get a PR firm to run their twitter feed, we get the feeling Roseanne is a bit more hands-on...

Barr wrote:

first post apocalyptic law: slavery in all forms is now illegal-including debt slavery. #BITCOIN

Quickly followed by:

2nd law: war is illegal in every form. 3rd law-usury and speculation not based on actual cost of output & profit sharing is illegal #bitcoin

We're not entirely sure that Bitcoin could pass Roseanne's third law and we'll have to hope that the apocalypse doesn't take out the internet. The official Twitter feed is here.

"An Agreement has been largely negotiated, subject to finalization between the United States of America, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the various other Countries," wrote President Trump late Saturday afternoon.

What to know:

  • Down sharply earlier Saturday, bitcoin moved to gains on the day after President Trump announced a peace agreement with Iran and other Middle Eastern countries.
  • As part of the deal, Trump said, the Strait of Hormuz will be reopened.
