Back in January, rapper 50 Cent reveals he has amassed over $7.5 million in Bitcoin from a forgotten stash he made back in 2014.
In 2014 he let fans buy his album “Animal Ambition” using bitcoin in 2014 around the time when its price when its price was around $662. It has been revealed that he made 700 bitcoin from the sales and left the account unused for four years. TMZ reports that he recently remembered about the account, and has amassed between $7.5-8 million form the cryptocurrency’s inflation; at least he remembered about it before it was valueless. The rapper confir
med the surprise discovery on social media, tweeting: “Not bad for a kid from South Side, I’m so proud of me.” He later added: “Ima keep it real, I forgot I did that s**t lol.”
He was very fortunate to have found the stash, as back in 2015, he filed for bankruptcy after being made to pay a defendant $5 million in damages after releasing a private video without their consent. Investors are very sceptical about the crypto, and don’t believe Bitcoin will hold its value forever, (as shown by the drop from £14,000 to £2,000). As of today, 15/11/2018, 1 Bitcoin is equal to around £4,300.
