The television personality told viewers to do their own research when looking at cryptocurrencies like dogecoin.

The video from Baskin could be a Cameo video paid by a user in a similar move that was done to promote a penny stock earlier this month.

Why It’s Important: Dogecoin was trending on Twitter on Thursday night and for the first time ever passed the tweet volume of Bitcoin on Twitter.

Dogecoin has gained interest from investors after Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk tweeted in support of the cryptocurrency on Thursday night.

Shares of Zomedica Corp (NYSE: ZOM) went up 90% after Baskin discussed the company in a video. The video was part of a paid Cameo video from a user.
