50 Cent Says He Took A Huge Risk & Now Has Millions From It: "Not Bad For A Kid From South Side" –

New York rapper 50 Cent has a few extra million bucks to his name. The hip-hop veteran has come forward to credit an investment in digital currency Bitcoin for helping fatten his wallet.

This week, Curtis Jackson jumped on Instagram to say he’s made bank dealing with the risky new form money.

G-Unit’s Uncle Murda has not only promoted digital bucks on his IG page but rapped about it too.

Since launching in 2009, Bitcoin completely takes out the need to deal with banks.

Another key advantage for some people using Bitcoin is not having to worry about fees.
