 50 Cent Now A BITCOIN MILLIONAIRE 50 Cent is back from bankruptcy thanks to Bitcoin. In 2014, the rapper released the album Animal Ambition, allowing fans to pay with Bitcoin. He made 700 bitcoins when Bitcoin was worth $662 or $460,000 in fiat equivalent. His earnings from the album are now worth up to $8 million. Thitty claims to have forgotten all about it. The game and Snoop Dogg might have both promoted the cryptocurrency, but 50 Cent now has the most to spend in the candy shop. Bitcoin Bucket Hits Its Cap KFC Canada is a big Bitcoin believer.
