I think we're going to see more and more celebrities dealing in cryptocurrency. Several high profile individuals have come out supporting the blockchains, even as "financial wizards" are speaking out against it.
Artists of any stripe in particular are likely to join in on cryptocurrency exchanges largely because generating income as an artist is actually really difficult. Having a more direct manner of income, which largely crypto is super direct, is way more appealing than the shenanigans that fiat payments create.
I may not listen to 50 Cent's music, but I am totally on board with his decision to start accepting crypto for his music.
I liked your thoughts. An interesting perspective. Thank you for sharing.
