o man this guy is a really cool dood!

I foresee his next rap song


"bitcoin gang bitcoin gang bitcoin gang
spread new restaurant chain
bitcoin gang bitcoin gang

bitcoin I got bits of them coins from the blocks in the chains, check my chains, check my coins, check my gucci check my gucci gang, esketit."

another puppet promoting the "fiat flash" mentality on our young ones, so instead of questioning the money they just want to obtain it.

why do you think these songs all ended up on youtube trending, which btw is just youtube promoting stuff it has no relation to view count on a certain amount of views in a set amount of duration as what you would thinking trending should be.

it should be called "youtube promotion" not "trending"

I mean I could list the garbage for days the past year that has been viewbotted to the moon on purpose by the banks. I wonder if they are acting ignorant or if they are actually just dumb, but I am starting to lose mass amounts of brain cells clicking on these videos for even a second. So my work here is done.

This is an exciting news for Bitcoin and with more and more celebrities getting into its bandwagon they can able to influence the market to also take a look at Bitcoin. I am just hoping that more and more will be using their Bitcoin to buy online and offline so that the market can be stimulated.

You are only going to influence a bunch of morons to sell at a loss and devalue bitcoin.
These people can`t even hodl their pants up.   ;D

That was funny. Joking aside, his timing seems pretty good here.

Ehh. Dude's music isn't my cup of tea(even though Gucci Gang was catchy as hell), and I don't think a significant amount of people will actually use bitcoin(regardless if through LN or not) anyway. Regardless, publicity is publicity so this is a win in my book. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He could be one of the influencers who accepts bitcoin.
We do not know if he does it for publicity or if he's just doing it as a way of investing his fees. If so, then he's doing it in a smart way. He would be earning more than what he has worked for when the price of bitcoin blooms again.

It's the first time I know these songs but that's what BTC is missing:


Now we can say that drug users like to accept BTC as a way to get orgasm. joking  :P
Does anyone know whether it is direct acceptance or through a trusted third party"Bitpay" ?.
Overall welcome.UNHAPPY / LIL PUMP

I don't think that he is the first rapper that accepts Bitcoin.
But it would be a good thing for us because it would be another publicity for crypto.
And since he already have so many fans or follower then I think they would start to try it out.

Every news related to some popular shop or company accepting bitcoin is definitely good but don't look at this like something big. It's just another shop that started accepting bitcoin but this doesn't mean more people are going to start using bitcoin just to go and buy a t-shirt from Lil Pump since they still have the option of buying with cash. But , let's see the good part in this. More and more shops start accepting bitcoin and this is a very good thing since now people have more options to spend their bitcoin.

This really a welcomed one to the Crypto atmosphere. I likely want to see great moves like this in the globe were by lots of industries will have to adapt and start making use of bitcoin now.

It is excellent news, regardless of whether we like your music or not, it is good publicity. the adoption of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies keeps growing and that makes me happy, besides the LN also starts to have a lot of importance ...

Well, reguardless of my distaste of the entertainer and his music, I must say he gets my stamp of approval for pushing the envelope on adoption.
    If any body can reach the younger demographic, it would definitely be a young entertainer like this kid. Kudos Pump, Kudos! Praise the youth, his adoption, literally means those who follow him become potential adoptees.
Good news for crypto!

I personally don't like mumble rappers and not into that type of songs. But, I do like how he adapted and accepts bitcoin as payment. This could spread awareness and this could influence other artist or even their fans about crypto.

For me it is just another advertising for Lightning Network, probably Lightning Network has just made a deal (partnership) with the rapper. To be honest I don't even know this singer as I'm not a fan of rap music. I'm not quite sure if it will affect the adoption of bitcoin but hopefully more artists are coming to get into bitcoin world so it will help to spread the technology of bitcoin started from their fans.

I don't see how a rapper who most people don't even know can push adoption upwards, but it is still a good effort nevertheless. I call it a drop in the ocean basically, but if all of us make similar efforts, we could form a tidal wave which could surely push adoption upwards.

Lil Pump is a popular and successful rapper and singer in America. He accepts Bitcoin as payment It really is a good thing for Bitcoin. Bitcoin is becoming popular with offline exchange just like online, which shows Bitcoin's acceptability in offline exchange. Now, like Lil Pump, the popular person is accepting his payment at Bitcoin. Slowly Bitcoin will become more popular and usable through cash or offline exchange.

Let's see him get a Bitcoin face tattoo.

this is the use of bitcoin for many celebrities as payment for them. now we know that bitcoin is not only traded but if nowadays bitcoin can be used for payment for any reason.

The entire entertainment industry is gradually moving towards adopting cryptocurrency as many music and movie stars are promoting the use of cryptocurrency, I hard Rick Rose is working on a new song and bitcoin and litecoin are mentioned all over the song lyrics. And now lil pump again this is really a great news.

That was great i think it will give a big impact in bitcoin and also to the people who was the follower of lil pump,lil pump was on the top list of the most popular rapper so his follower might be follow him in what he do,actually there are so many popular people who already use crypto just like manny pacquiao and man more.

Yes, it is certainly good for Bitcoin that Lil Pump now accepts Bitcoin as payment. A popular man like Lil Pump, whose reputation throughout the world has accepted Bitcoin as a payment, it is a good sign for Bitcoin. Bitcoin Popularity Now everyone around the world is now posing a positive attitude to accept Bitcoin. Bitcoin is also usable through offline exchange and this usage is increasing day by day. This positive attitude towards Lil Pump Bitcoin is the direction of Bitcoin bright future.

Another famous personality enters the crypto currency.
This would make another publicity and would make Bitcoin grow .
This could be the start of the famous personalities accepting crypto payment.

Does it mean that he accepts payment in bitcoin for his tracks, either way it is a good news of the entire community as you have the option to purchase things with bitcoin, earlier 50 Cent accepted bitcoin for his tracks and he made a ton of money with it when the price rallied and may be Lil Pump saw that as an opportunity and may be he is also looking for a little pump in the price of bitcoin  :D.

a good news. he must be credible person to use instead bitcoin as payment to follow his rapper community. I thing he has management to informatif him to receive crypto currency as payment on future

Fitting name for someone who supports crypto as payment now with the recent lil pumping of BTC for the past few weeks. 8)

Well this is a smart move from the musician..Although I don't see the move having much impart on the cryptocurrency market, I feel it serves as a marketing strategy and I expect others artiste will definitely move in the same direction in the coming days..
The first notable artist who did such was 50 cent and he enjoyed massive return during the last bull run , probably Lil Pump is after his own piece of the pie...

Maybe it's not so bad and his popularity will play good role. ;D

P.S Waiting for a new song, where he will be rapping and throwing khm... I don't know what, actually.

Very interesting to see bitcoin seeping into mainstream music.

Culture usually shifts on the heels of music. This might be how it reaches the masses.

Could very well catch on, as trends like this can spread like a virus across the rap industry and literally reach millions.

There are a lot of other musicians in the industry who's into bitcoin acceptance before like 50 cent. But the good news about Lil Pump is that he is accepting it thru LN so that's a first. But I'm now sure how this will affect adoption though. Anyways, this is still a welcoming news for Bitcoin and crypto in general, specially that the price is already picking up.

Right in time now that the bull run has started again :P
I don't really care too much though, I suspect we'll see a lot more adoption from various artists the next couple of years.

Bitcoin's becoming popular again, I see news articles in my local newspaper again, which always happens when the prices go up like this.
It's only logical that more and more people are jumping on the bandwagon.

I'd be more surprised if companies and celebrities start promoting Bitcoin through a bear market.

I guess the name is fitting for the action lol

I would like to see more artists accept crypto even putting their art on a decentralized platform.

Trending today I wonder why

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbiJboUglk0

Not a fan of Lil Pimp so I don't think if this news has any impact on me. There are a lot of celebrities from actors to athletes using them and investing in them and now it is being accepted by the new ones so I think it is great. More popular celebrities mean more people that might or will use it but I don't think people who idolize him will use BTC since they can just use fiat right?

It is interesting to see how people find bitcoin attractive when the market is moving up.   
I believe the musician's decision to use bitcoin will encourage thousands of fans to buy his/her stuff with bitcoin and be familiar with the cryptocurrency.
This somewhat contradict the claim that people don't buy/sell with bitcoin during bull run or in a volatile market. Guess we just need to prevent extreme volatility and everything will be fine.

Maybe is one of the reason why bitcoin have raise up today and hope keep exist until reach above $10k for bitcoin price, best solution how to make all of altcoin kinds on higher price by raised up of bitcoin on the top position price.

I guess so. With his fans, I think he can influence his fan to know bitcoin and use bitcoin, and besides that, he is a public figure, and people could listen to what he said. If that is successful, it could help bitcoin to raise more user to join into the cryptocurrency world, and that will give a chance for the adoption.

The Lightning Network would make it simple for us all to purchase Lil Pump's swag and keychains.

Lil pump is my best favorite singer. I love to hear her rap song pretty. Just the singer why? Now almost everywhere, accepting Bitcoin has begun. If Bitcoin's Transaction increases by giving payment to the influence of a bigger singer like Lil Pump, then it means that the popularity of Bitcoin is going to increase soon.
