50 Cent accidentally make $8 million with Bitcoin, also help DeepOnion promotion

[Benezim]

Crypto is going mainstream in terms of media attention (50cent, Katy Perry, Arsenal London, investment advice on TV etc) - the price does not reflect this yet IMHO.

We're all set for an exciting 2018, some people are going to be rich.

I hope I can look back at DeepOnion in a few years with that 50cent smile on my face.

Wow, that 's a very interesting and inspiring story! If people don't want to feel that they are losing, they need to take action these days, because DeepOnion is still in its baby days! price still very cheap and it is a good time to join and buy as many DeepOnion (ONION) coins as possible because whatever amount you buy today, in the near future you will see the value that this hidden gem will bring to their owners/holders. I could tell you a lot of this privacy coin, but it is better if you check yourself joining and support this big project!

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

Thank you 50 Cent and The Verge for your support !!

DeepOnion will not disappoint you, come and join the party  

that is one hell of a story. but it doesnt really surpise me, its commonly known that the rich only get richer

[CryptoCY3366]

50 needs to buy $8million in ONION and get these engines firing on all cylinders!!

[JohnMacZeppelin]

Sounds like Bitcoin will get a nice little boost from this. Maybe we will also see DeepOnion gain a little on this story. Plus I heard the android wallet is nearly ready for launch and the airdrop has just over 10 weeks to go. Yeah I saw other posters mention ho w50 Cent was bankrupt then not bankrupt, makes you think how much money he has stashed all over the place

Most likely it's just a very good advertisement and about 50 cent and about the project Deep Onion, as far as I remember they really very long time supported the thread on Bitcointalk and people were very actively discussing the project. And now I think there will be even more excitement around the project

[alinapvlvch]

it is good to forget so something, and then I woke up, and you are already a millionaire. It is just a dream))) correctly, for it then the amount of 400 000 dollars, wasn't strongly noticeable. And here to a mozha for all life you won't earn so much

[knien]

Well, they where not wrong mentioning DeepOnion as high reward investment for his bitcoin.
DeepOnion Dev. team is on fire lately. Integration with latest TOR version. Obfs4 integration, Android wallet coming soon, windows wallet upgrades, etc.

[t3ChNo]

50 Cent will not be the last to share their stories regarding crypto and the DeepOnion input well-received. He might influence other artists to take a look at crypto to sell their records.

[Zmaku]

I can just imagine what a nice surprise it was to him. I get excited when I find a 10 Euro bill that I forgot in some jacket months ago.
At least I have a nice stash of Onions that I know will bring me a very nice return, especially now when all of the new updates are coming one after another. Upgraded TOR protocol, redesigned wallet, mobile wallets and many more. 8 million looks small now

[husdemba]

50 Cent had news of bankruptcy. He earned a huge sum of money by chance.
I wish we could have lost our crypto money and suddenly become a millionaire 

[Vigme86]

Interesting story, it appears it's just conforming the old saying "Hold On for Dear Life"  , that's what makes cryptocurrencies really exciting, we can never be sure if the market has found the right price for one of them, and also omitting the Verge article for a sec this is the reason why I'm not really scared about the actual correction of DeepOnion. Good projects will carry on, and this is one of them, it has a clear roadmap and developers are working and producing something each week (Wallet upgrade last week, Tor protocol 0.3.3 and OBSF4, Android Wallet soon), the community is one of the greatest on the web, it's all about patience and wait for another bullish phase 

[globalcitizen]

This is a good example for crypto investors to emulate. Avoid investing in crypto and looking for a quick quick returns. Do like 50 Cent, invest some amount in crypto and look away from it to come about after few days to harvest your returns. That's the way to go.

[CryptoVokain]

Yeah we need more examples like this... soon we will hear about Justin Bieber singing about DeepOnion and how he made billions on it...

[Geoff999]

Thats a great story! I didn't hear about this until now, though I have been away from the country and my computer for a little while.

DeepOnion is a great coin to invest in - once the DeepSend feature is released, it will complement their most recent TOR upgrade perfectly, allowing you to anonymously send to anywhere in the world in seconds, even in China.

Hopefully 50C mentions the coin again, imagine if he joins the official forums 

[andhovesyan]

Hah, really cool! Hope we'll read a story like this soon, but this time about DeepOnion

[ZaynDale]

That's the best part of a very lucky person. Even if you're not doing gamble but only if you just made it for fun and don't mind the loss because you just want to accept any value in return of yours then there's a greater purpose why everything happened just like that.
50 cent even though didn't really expecting much as accepting Bitcoin as payment for his records but it's a matter of time that He actually giving himself a good future and not only as being celebrity but as rich guys who actually one of the early adaptor of Cryptocurrency.
I really like his good timing. That's why pizza guy accepted Bitcoin as payment but the real thing is he don't care what Bitcoin is, pizza is just under $20 that time, it's not a loss actually.
Early adaptors of Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies are really one of the most luckiest persons on the planet.

The rich keep on getting rich because they are the one that can actually take risks. Bitcoin will help many of us if we can agree to used it.  I think this 50cent story should be an encouragement to some of us.  Some people including some of our leaders are against bitcoin but I think we are to educate some of them by using this 50cent story. 

[JJack@]

Pretty funny story actually, I think he lately came out and said he didnt own any bitcoin. Well he might have just used Deepsend to make sure no one every finds out LOL

On a real note though it would be really funny if he actually used a privacy coin to hide his BTC holdings XD
