Remember that feeling when you find some change in the pockets of an old pair of pants, at the bottom of your dressing? The joy, the exhilaration, the surprise? The "oh, let's spend this all at McDonalds" line shout out in ecstasy?
Well, multiply this with $7 million and now you'll experience what rapper 50 Cent felt when he discovered he's actually a millionaire, following the wise decision to accept Bitcoin for an album he sold in 2014.
According to a story published by TechCrunch, 50 Cent recently discovered this and posted about on his social media accounts. The rapper was going through some rough stuff in 2015, when he agreed to pay a $23 million debt over a 5 years settlement.
The nicest part of the story is 50 Cent's reaction on Instagram, though, after he posted about the whole story:
I’m a keep it real I forgot I did that shit. Lol.
Exactly. Lol.

I know the feeling. That's why I created steem.supply, an easy to use and accurate tool for calculating your Steemit rewards |
Lucky man... That's one of the best kinds of surprises!
Looking forward to meeting you next Friday, @dragosroua. I thought it would only be a modest little meetup, but it's turning out to be quite a party haha!

I was laughing when I heard that story today :D Especially coming from someone with the name 50 Cent... I do believe he's been a millionaire all along, though, hasn't he? I think he's a pretty good business man.
Good for him!

As you well mention is a very similar story of when we found among our clothes a money that we did not know about, it has happened to me sometimes to find some small stones in my washing machine.
I had already heard the story of 50 cents, I also heard the story of a programmer I do not remember the name, but he was mining bitcoins at the beginning, the amount that is a fortune today is the problem is that the hard disk where are those bitcoins went to the trash and is asking the municipality to help locate the hard drive in the dumpster and share the money with the municipality.
hahaha no doubt some very crazy stories, moving to other issues and a few days after entering Steemit I voted for you as a witness, I come to you and you have very good information and excellent material and to say that steem.supply in some of My publications recommend this powerful tool.
I have a question and I apologize if it is not the means to clarify it, (account is getting 0.0013% of the rewards fund) what does it mean or what does it refer to?
Greetings from Mexico.

It's better to forget that you have some bitcoin than you know that you have a lot of bitcoin but you cannot find your private key. :-)

Its so funny to me how now everyone on Steemit is talking about 50 cent...my favorite rapper. I actually bought that album in 2014, and I've bought like 5 albums total in the last 10 years. It was his comeback album so I had to...didn't buy it in BTC though.
