So imagine you throw some money into bitcoin a few years ago and just forgot about it, then a few years after you realize you have a fortune. I feel we should start doing this with all the new importart altcoins that are coming out!

here is an article from ajc, what do you guys think?

The artist is the first rapper to accept the cryptocurrency as payment for his 2014 “Animal Ambition” album, according to TMZ. At the time, each bitcoin was worth $662, leaving 50 Cent with 700 bitcoins valued at approximately $463,000 in sales.
