50 Cent’s worst album made millions in bitcoins

Moris Beracha.- 

'Animal Ambition' is the fifth album by rapper 50 Cent released in 2014. Despite the successful record of the singer with the releases of GRDOT and TM (each album sold 10 million copies), 'Animal Ambition' failed to chart with only 150,000 copies sold. A year later the singer would declare bankruptcy. However, this would be the album that would make him a millionaire.

At that time, when the Bitcoin was not yet popular, the rapper agreed to accept bitcoins as a payment method for the album on its sales pages. Some users bought ‘Animal ...' using the virtual currency, making about $ 400,000 in sales. At that time, each coin was worth about $ 662, which would be equivalent to 700 bitcoins. With the current value of Bitcoin, the sum for sales of this production can net about $ 7.7 million.

According to the rapper, he had forgotten that he had a virtual wallet with 700 bitcoins. Now 50 Cent is backing up; 'Animal Ambition' ended up being a success despite being called the failure of the season.
