Another hip hop artist has joined the cryptocurrency community, as the Canadian record producer, DJ, and songwriter \u2018Murda Beatz\u2019 (Shane Lee Lindstrom) said he bought some bitcoin on Tuesday. The music producer joins a slew of other recording artists that have joined the crypto ecosystem like 50 Cent, Talib Kweli, Snoop Dogg, and Nas.<\/strong><\/p>\n On October 6, 2020, the Canadian record producer Murda Beatz<\/a> revealed to his 283,000 Twitter followers that he just purchased some bitcoin (BTC<\/a>). Murda Beatz is Shane Lee Lindstrom\u2019s stage name and he\u2019s been a well-known music producer for a number of years.<\/p>\n Beatz has produced hit singles for the American rappers Gucci Mane and Travis Scott, and the Canadian rapper Drake as well. The 24-year old Fort Erie producer is estimated to have a net worth of around $2.6 million today.<\/p>\n On Tuesday, Murda Beatz thanked fellow hip-hop artist Jermane Prime and Morgan Creek Digital cofounder Anthony \u2018Pomp\u2019 Pompliano for introducing bitcoin to him. Murda Beatz tweeted<\/a>:<\/p>\n I Bought Bitcoin Today\u2026 Salute 2 [Jermane Prime and] Anthony Pompliano].<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Murda Beatz and Jermane Prime are just a couple of the well known hip hop stars that have entered the cryptocurrency economy.

Nas gave away<\/a> bitcoin to a bunch of fans six years ago and told<\/a> Coindesk in 2014 that he was an investor in Coinbase.<\/p>\n Additionally, Dr. Dre\u2019s protege Snoop Dogg sold his 2013 album for 0.3 BTC<\/a> and tweeted about joining the future. \u201cThe future is here and Snoop is your captain, taking you to the moon (that\u2019s a bitcoin thing) \u2014 My next record available in bitcoin and delivered in a drone,\u201d Snoop said. <\/a><\/p>\n After Murda Beatz told his followers that he purchased bitcoin a number of people commented and welcomed the music producer.<\/p>\n \u201cWise decision. Bitcoin is the best form of money humankind has ever invented. Keep stacking,\u201d an individual replied<\/a> to Murda Beatz. Meanwhile, other people sent the hip hop star satoshis via Twitter bots<\/a> on Twitter.<\/p>\n Another person told Murda Beatz that hopefully, he\u2019s not storing the bitcoins on a centralized trading platform. \u201cGet that bitcoin off exchanges make sure it\u2019s in a secure place like a Ledger [wallet],\u201d he tweeted<\/a>.<\/p>\n What do you think about Murda Beatz telling his 283,000 followers he just bought bitcoin?
