Famous Hip-Hop Star Breaks Down Bitcoin to Her Fans
Popular rapper Megan Thee Stallion, also known as Hot Girl Meg,
published a video titled “Bitcoin for Hotties” Tuesday in collaboration
with Cash App, a mobile payment service developed by Jack Dorsey’s
Square Inc.
Megan Thee Stallion has more than 24.1 million followers on Instagram
and 6.4 million followers on Twitter. She has received several
accolades, including three Grammy Awards. At the 63rd Annual Grammy
Awards, she became the second female hip-hop artist to win Best New
Artist. In 2020, Time Magazine named her one of the 100 most influential
people in the world on their annual list.
Her Bitcoin for Hotties video starts with the star explaining what bitcoin is. She said:
Bitcoin is a new kind of money. While the cash in your
wallet is issued and regulated by governments, bitcoin is a
cryptocurrency like a wild stallion. It can’t be controlled by anyone.
“That means that no one person or organization gets to decide how
much of it is used, how much of it is in circulation or what it’s worth
so boom. There’s only a limited amount of bitcoin, like gold, silver, or
me,” she continued.
The video then discussed why bitcoin is valuable, emphasizing
scarcity and security. After explaining that the price of bitcoin can
fluctuate, she explained how to obtain bitcoin, such as from
cryptocurrency exchanges or via Cash App.
The Bitcoin for Hotties video is the second financial education video
released as part of the artist’s partnership with Cash App. The first
video, titled “Investing for Hotties,” was about investing in the stock
market. It was released a month ago.
In December last year, Megan Thee Stallion announced
a $1 million bitcoin giveaway in collaboration with Cash App. Last
month, they teamed up to give away a million dollars in stock around the
release of her single “Thot Sh*t.”
