Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry has apparently gotten into the cryptocurrency game and Tom Brady is already giving him tips.

On Monday (September 6), the seven-time Super Bowl champion quote-tweeted the three-time NBA champion and fellow Subway spokesperson's public call for assistance with, "Whatever you do...don't do laser eyes!"

Brady changed his Twitter profile to include "laser eyes" -- which Bitcoin enthusiasts do to show their "laser focus" on the cryptocurrency's prices rising higher -- in May, but has since publicly acknowledged that his public support was one of his rare personal losses.

Bitcoin had a strong start to 2021 and reached its all-time high of nearly $65,000 in April, but has since almost wiped out all of its triple-digit gains.

In June, the price of Bitcoin had fallen nearly 40% from $56,245 to $34,665 after Brady had made the Twitter avatar change, according to Coin Metrics via CNBC.

“Alright the laser eyes didn’t work. Anyone have any ideas?” Brady said, quote-tweeting Blockworks co-founder Jason Yanowitz, who pointed out the price drop.

The cryptocurrency has since risen to its current value of $46,680.50 USD.

Brady, who launched his own NFT company in April, said he was a "big believer" in cryptocurrencies and confirmed he'd purchased digital coins during the CoinDesk Consensus 2021 forum.

In February, Brady recorded 201 yards and three touchdowns on 21 of 29 passing in Super Bowl LV, winning a record fifth Super Bowl MVP Award, which surpassed his own previous record set in Super Bowl LI (2017).

Brady now owns a 7-3 record all-time in the NFL's biggest game and surpassed his own previous record for most Super Bowl wins by a quarterback (6) set in February 2019. The 43-year-old also broke his own record as the oldest quarterback to both start and win a Super Bowl also set in 2019.

The win was Tampa Bay's second Super Bowl victory in franchise history. The Buccaneers are also the only team in NFL history to both host and win a Super Bowl in their home stadium.
