DID YOU KNOW? 50 CENT AND BITCOIN!!! $BTC

50 Cent's history with cryptocurrencies began in 2014, when he released the album Animal Ambition. At the time, the rapper decided to accept payments in Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency that was still relatively unknown and not as valued as it is today. 50 Cent received the equivalent of around 400,000 dollars in $BTC for the album's sales.

After that, he apparently "forgot" about these Bitcoins, which were left in a digital wallet. In the following years, the value of Bitcoin skyrocketed and, when 50 Cent rediscovered his balance in cryptocurrencies, the amount had increased significantly. In 2018, the media reported that his Bitcoins had appreciated to between 7 and 8 million dollars, due to the currency's enormous appreciation. This discovery attracted attention, as a year earlier, in 2017, 50 Cent had declared bankruptcy, with debts totaling $32 million. The discovery of the Bitcoins seemed like a stroke of luck. Later, in legal documents, he clarified that, despite the news generating a lot of interest, he never actually owned or held a significant amount of Bitcoin. According to the documents, any cryptocurrency he received was immediately converted to dollars by the payment platform he used in 2014. This means that he did not directly profit from the appreciation of the currency, and the story of the millions in $BTC was yet another misunderstanding that grew in the media.
