How did 50 cent become a millionaire again…with bitcoin

in #bitcoin7 years ago

This story is one of the few stories that can make anyone talk about how lucky a person can be in his life. A small, fascinating but also "forgotten" story that turned into worth of millions.

50 cent isn’t just some normal person that you hear about once and you forget about him. Everybody, even if you haven’t heard any of his songs, has surely heard of his name at least once. He is one of the most popular and influential rappers in our generation and of course one of the people who loves to show off his wealth, style and life.

But one day back in 2015 he had announced through instagram that he went broke…he was broke though till he made it all back and all by accident…

So what happened was that back in 2014 50 cent had his album “Animal Ambition” revealed in the public and he let his fans acquire his album using as payment currency the famous by now crypto currency. His album then went downhill and he made just 700 bitcoins…Well who would had guessed what would happen in the future.

Time went by and he never got interested in using the bitcoins he had earned due to the fact that back then their value wasn’t that high. But as he didn’t know, bitcoin slowly grew more and more in value and his 700 bitcoins ended up worthing about 8 mil. Dollars. That’s the moment where everything turned around for him and from broke he went to gold.

The power of bitcoin is tremendous and people don’t seem to notice still how it can affect their lives in the future. It can help millions of people to get a much better life and lead in better opportunities. That’s only one of the few stories where bitcoin led to success and showed that you must never underestimate something that you don’t know or just believe it’s too little for you to work. From entrepreneurs like Marc Cuban that support wildly the use of bitcoin to even football players getting signed with bitcoin that cant be just an odd fact.

It means a lot and even if crypto is going through hard times right now I believe that it will come back stronger.
Its all up to time to see what will happen with crypto currency and how far it will go.

Till then have a good day steemians :)
