Snoop Lion/Dogg (whatever you want to call him) is the latest proponent of fledging cryptocurrency Bitcoin.
In a series of tweets, the god-father of gangsta rap and uncle-of-everyone in the hip-hop world has become the worlds most famous proponent of the online currency, which in the past 3 years has risen from a value of 20 cents to over 1000 dollars and can be used to buy everything from cupcakes and illicit drugs to flights into space.
The future is here and Snoop is your captain, taking you to the moon (that’s a bitcoin thing).
My next record available in bitcoin n delivered in a drone.
