Apparently Wall Street bonuses hit bank accounts on 15th January and crypto investment on an epic scale is expected - watch the markets!

The Brow Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 anyone who got involved in Bitconnect was absolutely f****** mental. The whole idea behind it was only going to benefit one group, the owners. They took people's 'proper' tokens and gave shit in return. Its genius, I wish I had thought of it. They'll now disappear into the sun (dont be surprised if it comes out they DDOS'd their own site) with millions. Bravo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevieboobs Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 The rapper 50 Cent has reportedly become a bitcoin millionaire, after discovering that an account used to accept cryptocurrency for a 2014 album now holds a fortune. More than three years ago, the musician and actor – real name Curtis Jackson – let fans purchase his album Animal Ambition using bitcoin – amassing 700 BTC. Worth around $400,000 at the time, using current rates that figure is now valued at between $7m and $8.5m. On Tuesday (23 January) he told his 17 million Instagram followers: 'Not bad for a kid from South Side, I'm so proud of me. LOL." In the comments, confirming a reportthat his account was dormant for years, he added: "I'm a keep it real I forgot I did that sh*t." A photoshopped image posted to social media showed the popular rapper smiling in front of floating bitcoins. He wrote: "A little bit coin anyone? I know l make you sick but excuse me I'm getting to the bag." http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/50-cent-bitcoin-millionaire-after-forgetting-about-cryptocurrency-2014-1656483?utm_source=email&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=newsletter&utm_content=headline&spMailingID=2826233&spUserID=MTI0NzI3MzY2NTQS1&spJobID=OTUxMDk0MzMxS0&spMailingID=2826233&spUserID=MTI0NzI3MzY2NTQS1&spJobID=951094331&spReportId=OTUxMDk0MzMxS0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
