Topic: 50 cent accepts Bitcoin as payment for his new album (Read 4485 times)
Do y'all think he would have accepted Coinye?
This. And Laxori666 does not really know what 50cent is doing with the bitcoin sales of his album. He already has a lot of money and would not necessarily need to convert it to fiat right away.
May be. He has already done similar shit with the penny stock (HNHI). He might stash quite a few coins, and then urge his Twitter followers to do the same, just like what he did with HNHI.
Do you have a link/source that he did this?
What, you don't knew about this?

F^cker conned his fans and made some $9 million from the penny stock.
50 cent calling out stocks might be the only thing worse than Jim Cramer.... whoever listened is not exactly a financial guru.

There are several interesting things to notice here:
Firstly, the simple fact that so many people look up to a single individual like this that's nothing but a rapper.
Secondly, that they blindly invest and/or support his endeavors.
Fanboys will agree with whatever they idol says.
I think that those who lost out has learned some very important lessons: People care about themselves first, fans are for most musicians nothing they particularly care about once they become big enough. And is really a single individual worthy of all that attention and admiration? And lastly, you never invest in something because your idol just tweeted about it, it might pique your interest, but do your own research.
Sometimes I cannot stop to be amused of the silliness of people.

Well he's not really accepting bitcoins is he? He's accepting cash, and letting you give him cash via BitPay.
none the less, its nice to see any bitcoin related press/exposure.
bitcoin is still young, but of all the others investment opertunities, it seams to be blooming the best

WOW 
The good news, if so I'll buy it

I don't really like this kind of music but I support the idea! 
It's good PR for sure and shows that 50Cent has brains
Not sure if this is a big deal for adoption though
Will fans adopt just because their heroes are given the obstacles that exist to acquiring and securing btc?

It's a big deal for my adoption of 50 Cent. Don't think I've bought a rap Album since N.W.A.
If 50 cent starts to keep his coin he can collaborate with ytcracker https://soundcloud.com/ytcracker and do a remake of Bitcoin Baron https://soundcloud.com/ytcracker/ytcracker-bitcoin-baron-v1-ssl
so he will dump millions of bitcoins to get his migthy $
just lol if you think rappers are going to be rapping about anything but cash$

I tried putting some tracks for sale on Coindl but kept getting told to re upload them so I gave up (last year).
For those interested, you can sell your tracks on Soundcloud for bitcoin (or doge/ltc etc) by using a site called Coinlock. You upload the track to Coinlock then use the link you get from them on Soundcloud on your song listing. You have to enter all the record label/ release date BS but once you have done that you will have a nice button/ link under your track saying something like "buy now with bitcoin!".
Now, I haven't sold any tracks to know that Coinlock works but it seemed pretty "legit", be your own label!
P.S. ofc it would be much better not to have a centralize company holding your tracks but it's still early days.

Cents accepting Bitcoin....that's just hillarious.
That's a great news, hope that more artist accepts Bitcoin in the next future, label including (Sony, Vevo ecc.).
More of this, I follow 50 cent and I listen him

Those are some steep prices. 650 dollars for 12 songs? I guess at the time you put it up it was more like 10.
Somewhere about $8, if memory serves.
Wait - I mean - hey! It charted and all! Gotta be worth it. ;^)
I'll update it when I get the time to work through the CoinDL interface again.
ETA: get rich or die tryin'
Meh. I've been accepting bitcoin directly for one of my albums for just shy of two years.

OK, so I don't have quite as high a profile as Fitty.
Hmm... maybe I oughta reprice that sucker. It was a good value at the time I put it up. XD

Good, maybe 50cent doesn't even know a bean about Bitcoins but i think things like this increase it's popularity both Bitcoin and the Artist, i
as a musician, am personally glad of this because Bitcoin opens an endless lot of opportunities for us.
