People who think something is a Risk, usually lack information or don't understand what they are doing ~ Charles Fuchs.
What's Up STACKERS!
There was a pretty interesting story today that was trending on "Social Media" pertaining to a Rapper/Actor named Curtis Jackson AKA 50 Cent. 🎶
If you guys are not a hiphop fan... you may not know who he is. He is also known for making millions of Dollars when he Invested in Vitamin Water many years ago.
It seemed that in 2014 when he released his album called "Animal Ambition", Fifty decided to start accepting Bitcoin at his Shopify store for people to purchase his new album. Sources close to him stated that he accumulated over 700+ Bitcoin when the popular "Crypto" was just around $650 at that time.
The funny thing about this story is that... He "Completely Forgot" he had them! It's estimated that his Bitcoin is currently $7 million to $8 million as of today! 💸
50 Cent even posted something hilarious on Instagram saying, "Not Bad for a kid from South Side, I’m so proud of me,” “I’m a keep it real I forgot I did that shit. Lol,” 😳🤣
So in other words, Curtis Jackson had "Millions of Dollars" of Bitcoin just sitting there without ever thinking or worrying about it for almost 4 years!
What can we learn from this? 👨🏼🏫
Even though 50 Cent forgot about his Bitcoin, it's the same type of mindset a professional cryptocurrency investor has; "You BUY AND HODL!"
I've been hearing lots of these stories from regular people as of late trending on "Social Media". So many people bought Bitcoin years ago and were so busy with there lives that they never checked or cared about the price until they seen it on the news recently. They were instantly Millionaires and didn't even know, to me that is just freaking crazy. 🤯
So guys, we are still so early in this "Crypto Game". Start buying on the dips and keep holding your valuable Cryptocurrencies. 👭
Don't worry about the what the price is everyday unless your buying the dip and "Keep STACKIN" every week. In a few years, you will have a huge next egg! 🐣
Have an awesome night Steemians! 💕
So cool... its like finding an old master's painting in your attic!

here is nothing "accidental" about this. I don’t understand why the media keeps insisting that it was.
That’s how long-term buying and holding looks like. You buy and forget about it. I would say his choice to sell his album in exchange for bitcoin shows it was in fact 100% intentional and a long term gamble.
Good for him.

I did not see this. I follow 50 cent on Twitter. After I became a member of Steemit, I started not to look at other social media, so I saw it for the first time.
I will be rich with a solid investment. But I do not know. I even think you forgot that money for a long time. Because he did not need the money. Then he suddenly became rich. It must be a great feeling. It would be great for me @stackin

One day in July 2015, I was at a bar in Ottawa that had a Bitcoin ATM machine where you could deposit cash and send it to your Bitcoin wallet. So on my way to the bathroom, I thought “what the hell” and deposited $60 Canadian into my BTC wallet for the fun of it. At the time, I thought nothing of it and Bitcoin was worth $323 CAD.
I mostly forgot about it, checking it only every once in a while. All of a sudden, a few weeks ago, I saw all the headlines about BTC being at an all time high. Like a kid at Christmas, I popped over to my Bitcoin wallet only to find that my measly 0.17415 Bitcoin was now worth $412.98 CAD. Woah cool!
