This is a dumb myth born from the fact that she doesn’t know the difference between bitcoin and second life money. She was offered second life dollars or sth.
Well she has licensed her name to a clit-sucker toy as of late, so hopefully that makes up some of the gains.
No, she didn’t. She was offered Second Life virtual currency, not Bitcoin. She didn’t pass up a $5 billion opportunity. This is just wrong.
I read somewhere that she got mixed up… it wasn’t bitcoin but some other Second Life currency.
Imagine if she took it though, imagine then being the person who paid $5,823,940,000 to watch LILY ALLEN
The value of hindsight is always 20/20. Do not disparage the poor soul.
Why, OP, if you were so intelligent, didn’t you buy $10 worth of bitcoins at $3 each and retire in 2017?
I think it was Linden dollars as others have said… But at that time a lot of people were trading Linden dollars for BTC so that step would have had to happen for the value to rise like that. Wish I traded some of my Linden dollars back then!
Thats 2009…before the pizza transaction I believe….would have been totally epic if she accepted…..
Who?
I’ve heard this story before, it wasn’t even bitcoin she was offered
Only thing you can do is get more Bitcoin today.
This would keep me up at night.
This is not true, it was second life money… i was there.
who tf is lily allen?
She probably just got stupid fiat and ended up spending it on things she needed like food and housing. What an idiot.
😬 oops
Easy to say only if she hold… let’s be honest will anyone able to hold thru that long of period?
That’s why you don’t fucking spend bitcoin. It is not a currency but a retirement account.
If she did except it should’ve just sold most of it so it wouldn’t have mattered that much
That would haunt me forever not gonna lie.
Funny, but don’t think that she would have been a hodler.
> Lily Allen turned down 200K in Bitcoins
What does that mean? “200K in Bitcoins” makes no sense. DO you mean BTC 200,000? Or $US 200,000 worth of bitcoin? In the latter case, how many bitcoins was it?
She speculated, and she got rekt.
I’m sick of seeing this story which is incorrect
pretty sure it would be impossible to receive $200,000 worth of BTC in 2009 as they didn’t have a value assigned to them for the most part
Yeah and woulda been worth so much more just two weeks ago. Shitcoins ruining Bitcoin making crypto in general a joke…. Two cents from a normie, much love and hope for the dream you have cryptos
Your biggest enemy with Bitcoin is your lack of confidence in its revolution.
To solve this problem, there is no secret, you must make the intellectual effort to understand the why of Bitcoin. If you do, then you’ll know how to be patient, because you’ll be confident in the inevitable success of Bitcoin.
It’s only a matter of time.
She didn’t, stop repeating this bullshit
Wow 😮
Anyone here actually played second life? How was it?
