50 Cent’s decision to accept Bitcoin in 2014 brought him millions of revenue

The famous rapper started to accept Bitcoin payments back before they were non-mainstream - in 2014, and his decision to hold on to cryptos has proven to be profitable, tell even those media outlets usually not reporting about any event on the market of cryptocoins.

50 Cent (real name Curtis James Jackson III) has recently posted several pictures on Instagram with his joyful commentary on how he managed to attain great benefits by just deciding to sell his albums for bitcoins in 2014 and not converting the acquired coins afterwards. “I’m so proud of me”, told the rap star.

This gain becomes even more joyful for 50 Cent considering the fact he had some troubles regarding his financial well-being in 2015 and even had to file for bankruptcy.

Meanwhile, the Winklevoss brothers lost their status of Bitcoin billionaires due to the fact that Bitcoin is not $20,000 per coin anymore. During that price peak, one of the brothers told reporters that this price was just the beginning and they are going to wait more for bigger prices. Current prognoses on the price of Bitcoin vary: some say it may fall down to $2000, while others make more careful predictions.
