In 2014, 50 Cent accepted payment in Bitcoin for his album Animal Ambition. He just discovered his accumulated Bitcoin stash which was worthing $400,000 back then is now worth $8 million. He declared on Instagram and Twitter : “Not bad for a kid from South Side, I’m so proud of me.” and later commented on his post: “Ima keep it real, I forgot I did that shit lol.” It's rather hillarious and reminds me somehow the (very different) story of Julian Assange which expressed gratitude to the US and UK for forcing him to accept bitcoin as a payment, making him a millionaire.

I find it even more pleasant to see that the story published on The Verge is mentioning that "50 Cent would like the coin DeepOnion because it used to be valued at fifty cents. " and surprised to see this story got rewritten in dozen of different languages accross the globe, every single one of them mentioning DeepOnion  Cool

Lucky bastard make millions lol. But supporting deep onion is more important.
Deep Onion has a brilliant future for sure. They make marketing little weired but they made it and going to be successfull for sure.


Marketing is pretty amateurish sometimes but if you think about it...it's very great, it's giving everyone a chance to contribute and earn a little something. Now the devs aren't amateurs and the mobile wallet coming very soon (it's almost ready) will allow to stake coins on smartphone 24/7, it's much better in terms of energy efficiency than mining in my opinion (whether on mobile or large mining farms).

The project is very succesful so far and we all know it will continue to provide a solid vision for crypto-currencies in 2018.  Cool

Good for him! The man has filed for bankruptcy several times, so the "accidental" 8 million USD must be nice  Wink
It's very cool that DeepOnion gets mentioned in the same article. Honestly he should invest some of that money in DeepOnion. The mobile wallet for Android and IOS are coming soon and a new TOR protocol has been implemented. It's an exciting time to be a DeepOnion holder!

Some will say he was lucky and some will say that he was thinking out of the box and took a business decision with some risk attached to it... Last week I saw a video from Grant Cardone, saying that he earned 1,6 mil dollars, because he accepted Bitcoins as a payment for a motivational speech years ago. He did not know what Bitcoin was, but his philosophy is "Commit now and find out later"... People who have that mentality and want to roll the dice every now and then, are mostly the ones who are successful...

I love the DeepOnion project and I am happy they got some attention as well.

Yes, the crypto is gaining media attention lately. This 50 cent story, the Katty Perry nails, etc. A lot of huge investors in the stockmarket are also giving their opinion on crypto.

Hello fellow miners
Guys, it is really important for all of us to have more and more high-profile celebrities promoting crypto.
Yesterday I saw Instagram story about Ketty Perry and her crypto-nailart  Smiley

Regarding Deep Onion, with the recent developments of android and iOS mobile wallets, Deepsend and vote central features, it is going to be HUGE investment for 2018.
Buy now on Cryptopia or Kucoin while the price is still pretty cheap.
Cheers!

How do we know he still has his private keys?

Not sure they would say he has made that money without being able to access it. Good on him and I also find it funny the link to DeepOnion  Grin Comical spin.

deep onion at $10usd is still underpriced with potential of triple figures soon like monero and zcash... 50cent gonna make more millions on DO as well Smiley

Did you actually read the article? No where does it say he owns DeepOnion. Frankly, I'm surprised someone was able to turn this story into a DeepOnion propaganda piece in the first place.

No but it was mentioned within the article and title of this thread. with high profile support the price and popularity is sure to rise

I read this yesterday and kinda slapped my head out of pure jealousy.  Must be nice to already be enormously successful financially and then find yourself atop millions of bitcoins.  Crazy.  And I can't stand his music, either.

Don't know about the DeepOnion thing, but I'm not so much into shitcoin ICO projects these days--and never really was in the past, either.

Not sure if he really haven't known, not even sure if he made the move to accept Bitcoin himself or just his lable, but still it's quite nice and I am happy for 50 Cent, as he used the chance years back and it payed out.

DeepOnion mention is also really nice. If you think it goes back to when the price was on a 50Cent run for quite a time DeepOnion made also a good growth in value until know Wink Maybe he suprises next how he got another million or two through his 50Cent Onions from back then no one knows about lol

I have not bought Deeponion at 50 cents, but 69cents as well. Cheesy Grin I would like to guess that this kind of coincidence will happen to me in a close furture.
I am happy to see my favourite Deeponion keep moving fast and solid. I have been just seen a try out of new Android wallet and the new release of Deeponion's wallet is integrated with newest TOR. It probably gonna be the fastest growing anonymous crypto this year as it get rapid progress every day.

From 50cent to 8 million not bad 50


In 2014, 50 Cent accepted payment in Bitcoin for his album Animal Ambition. He just discovered his accumulated Bitcoin stash which was worthing $400,000 back then is now worth $8 million. He declared on Instagram and Twitter : “Not bad for a kid from South Side, I’m so proud of me.” and later commented on his post: “Ima keep it real, I forgot I did that shit lol.” It's rather hillarious and reminds me somehow the (very different) story of Julian Assange which expressed gratitude to the US and UK for forcing him to accept bitcoin as a payment, making him a millionaire.

I find it even more pleasant to see that the story published on The Verge is mentioning that "50 Cent would like the coin DeepOnion because it used to be valued at fifty cents. " and surprised to see this story got rewritten in dozen of different languages accross the globe, every single one of them mentioning DeepOnion  Cool
