50 Cent Now a Bitcoin millionaire, 50 Cent is back from bankruptcy thanks to Bitcoin. In 2014, the rapper released the album Animal Ambition, allowing fans to pay with bitcoin. He made 700 bitcoins when bitcoin was worth $662 or 460,000 in fiat equivalent. His earnings from the album are now worth up to 8 million. Fiddy claims to have forgotten all about it. The game and Snoop Dogg might have both promoted the cryptocurrency, but 50 Cent now has the most to spend in the candy shop. Bitcoin Bucket Hits its Cap KFC Canada is a big bitcoin believer. They got in on the craze with their own bitcoin bucket. It cost you whatever $20 was worth in bitcoin at the time of the purchase, which you could see with Facebook based live tracker. KFC even made jokes for their many crypto and fried chicken fans. It was a limited but successful run for the bitcoin bucket with all buckets sold out within two weeks. Despite the ups and downs of bitcoin, the Colonel's original recipe is as good as always. So trade your bitcoins for buckets and invest in something finger licking good. The world is not anymore the way it used to be. Hey hey, hey everybody. My name is Carlos Matos and I am coming from New York City, New York. Let me tell you guys that I am so excited. I am so happy. I am really so thrilled to be right now sharing this amazing, glorious, super exciting moment of my life. Arizona State Makes a Dash for it ACU announced last week it is partnering with cryptocurrency Dash. Dash will create a $365,000 fund for blockchain research to advance transaction speed, efficiency, security and expand its uses. The fund will be used for scholarships, blockchain Research Lab and to create blockchain online courses which will be available this fall. The ASU funding will be provided from the Dash reserves, which are 10% of its monthly block rewards or 5.7 million. ASU is not the only university researching blockchain MIT. One of the top US universities has a digital currency initiative that does fundamental research of cryptocurrencies and blockchain tech.
